• Knows chess rules; an ideal opponent for beginners and occasional players.
• 16 levels of play.
• Take back up to 6 half moves.
• Game Memory - The computer remembers the current position for up to 2 years (with fresh alkaline batteries). When you switch it on again, it will continue to play your game.
• Book Openings -- At the beginning of a game, the computer's reply is usually very fast on Level 1 through 6, because the computer is playing moves which are stored in its book openings.
• Solves Mate-in-4 chess problems.
