HELLO I’M CHESSICA....
NEW YORK TIMES PROBLEMS
The next five options permit the selection of one of the NEW YORK TIMES problems taken from actual chess master games. Your goal is to find the master move for each position. If you do not play the master move an error beep will sound. The HINT key may be pressed to see the master move. TOUCH CHESS will remember the last problem number you worked on for each of the five options. Before selecting a problem first set the level to FHinF for the mate positions and to level FH200 for the tactical positions.
- MATE 1: Select one of 66 mate-in-1 move problems by using the YES key.
- MATE 2: Select one of the 196 mate-in-2 moves problems by using the YES key.
- MATE 3: Select one of the 95 mate-in-3 moves problems by using the YES key.
- MATE 4: Select one of the 9 mate-in-4 moves problems by using the YES key.
- PRoB: Select one of 135 tactical problem positions. You are generally looking for moves that win material. But in some cases you may have a losing position and the master move is to force a draw.
