To change sides with the computer, press ENTER on your turn—
and the computer will make the next move for your side. You can
change sides as often as you wish by pressing ENTER repeatedly.
Want the computer to play the first move for White at the start of a
new game? Press NEW GAME twice, and then press ENTER!
Want to see the computer play chess against itself? Press ENTER
after each move—and watch as it plays for both sides of the board,
one move after another. Study its strategies, and you might just
improve your own game!
2.9 Built-In Openings
At the beginning of a game, the computer’s reply is often instanta-
neous on many levels, because it is playing moves from its
openings
library.
The computer’s library includes most major openings and
many positions from grandmaster play. If the current board position is
in its library, the computer plays a response to that position from
memory, instead of thinking about the move. Note that the openings
library is used on all levels except the Problem Solving Levels.
