→Help (Shift H)
====Help (Shift H)====
This option allows the computer to act as a chess tutor by evaluating your move and suggesting alternatives if better moves were available. If you press HELP ('''SHIFT H''') instead of entering your move, the computer will suggest a move for you to enter (for this move only). Then enter your move in the usual way. If you press HELP to enter your move by pressing '''SHIFT H''' rather than '''ENTER''', the computer will go into an automatic help mode and evaluate your move. It then tells you if it's a good move - or indicates what another move could have been. Once you place the computer in this "automatic help" mode, it will continue to evaluate each of your moves until you again press HELP ('''SHIFT H''') to turn off the Help feature. (Note: The computer's thinking time will be doubled while in the Help mode. Also, if the computer is playing in the losing mode, it will give losing advice.)
====Resign (Shift E)====
This function allows you to resign the game.
====Draw (Shift D)====
This option allows you to offer the computer a tie or draw. You use this feature by selecting your move and pressing '''SHIFT D''' (rather than '''ENTER'''). The computer then has the option of accepting the DRAW or continuing to play. If it continues to play, the DRAW has been refused.
====Time Out (Shift T)====
This feature allows you to stop the chess clocks (for breaks, phone calls, etc.). At this point, all keys are disabled except '''SHIFT Q''' and '''SHIFT T'''. Press '''SHIFT T''' to restart the clocks and resume the game.
====Replay (Shift X)====
This allows you to replay the current game from the start, displaying each move for about 2 seconds before the next move appears. During this you can pause for examination of a particular position by pressing and holding Replay again until STOP is displayed in the message section at the bottom of the screen. To restart the action, press Replay once more.
