ENGLISH

limited to a certain number of moves, as shown above. As

you cycle through the levels, the computer displays PLY:#

for each level. A “ply” is an individual move (a move for either

side), and “#” is the number representing the search depth.

For example, on Level G1, the computer searches to a depth

of one ply (PLY:1), and thus looks ahead only one indi-

vidual move. On this level, therefore, it will often overlook a

mate in one. This produces weaker play, giving beginners a

better chance of beating the computer!

3.8 Self-Adaptive Weak Levels (Squares H1-H8)

LEVEL TYPE DISPLAY

H1 ........... Self-Adaptive 1 ........... Adt: 1

H2 ........... Self-Adaptive 2 ........... Adt: 2

H3 ........... Self-Adaptive 3 ........... Adt: 3

H4 ........... Self-Adaptive 4 ........... Adt: 4

H5 ........... Self-Adaptive 5 ........... Adt: 5

H6 ........... Self-Adaptive 6 ........... Adt: 6

H7 ........... Self-Adaptive 7 ........... Adt: 7

H8 ........... Self-Adaptive 8 ........... Adt: 8

The Self-Adaptive Weak Levels are perfect for players who

are just starting out. Here, beginners have the chance to

interact with the computer on eight weakened levels of

varying ELO rating strengths, and the computer’s strength is

adjusted to match that of the player.

On the lowest level (H1), the computer will set its playing

strength to a deliberately weakened setting of about –350

ELO. On the upper end, Level H8 matches the strength of

the player by putting the ELO difference at zero. As you play,

the computer will try to keep this difference constant. That is,

if you play badly, the computer will not play well either—but it

will fight to win back material it has lost to you, if necessary.

On the other hand, if you play stronger, the computer will

also play stronger. Work your way up!
