- OPENINGS COACH key: Train on recognized opening gambits and responses.

- SENSORY CHESSBOARD: Each square has a highly sensitive sensor that registers piece movement.
- TEACH MODES: Your chess computer contains eleven built-in Extended Teach modes. This feature allows you to learn basic moves and master the tactics of the pieces, one at a time.
