IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Always start TI-Chess from the commandline and not from any explorer-like program to prevent crashes. Most of the available explorer-like programs cannot handle large nostub programs correctly, even if they may start them your calculator may crash some time later. UPDATE: The only available explorer which handles TI-Chess correctly is the TICT-Explorer. With the TICT-Explorer you don't even need the launcher program, but you can start file tichess.ppg directly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STARTING TI-CHESS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The necessary files for the TI89 can be found in directory bin89 and for the TI-92plus in directory bin92p. Steps: (1) if you have a previous version of TI-Chess on your calculator, please delete it first! (2) upload ticstart.9xz and tichess.9xy to your TI92plus or ticstart.89z and tichess.89y to your TI89 (3) archive file tichess.ppg for better memory usage (4) type: ticstart() and press [ENTER] NOTE: If you want to solve the chess puzzle which comes with TI-Chess upload file ticpro.9xs into your TI92plus or ticpro.89s into your TI89 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE MENU SYSTEM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main menu can be reached from the game window by pressing [ESC] if it's your turn. Press [ESC] again to go back to the game window. To select a menu entry just locate the cursor on it by using the cursor keys ([LEFT] and [RIGHT]) and press [ENTER] or [DOWN]. (1) NEW GAME: Starts a new game (2) LOAD/SAVE: Loads, saves or exports a game. The used slot may be selected by using [UP] and [DOWN]. Press [ENTER] to load or save or [ESC] to cancel. Note: game slot ticsave0 cannot be used for saving, because it is used by the automatic load/save mechanism. EXPORT Game will write the moves so far to textvariable "ticexpt". This variable can be directly viewed on the calculator with its text editor or you can download it to your computer for further processing. (3) TRAIN (Train your Brain): Loads chess puzzles. The chess puzzle may be selected by using [LEFT] and [RIGHT]. Press [ENTER] to load the selected puzzle or [ESC] to cancel. NOTE: "Mate in 2" puzzles may be solved by TI-Chess. Load a chess puzzle, set the level 3 and change the side so that the program calculates the next move. "Mate in 3" puzzles may be solved at level 5. "Mate in 4" puzzles cannot be solved by TI-Chess correctly until now, because level 7 would be necessary for it. (4) OPTIONS: To change any of the settings locate the cursor on it and press [LEFT] or [RIGHT]. Pressing [ESC] will leave the settings menu and stores the new settings. entry STRENGTH ... Strength of calculator's AI entry AUTOLOAD ... Enables/disables automatically loading from game slot ticsave0 at program start entry AUTOSAVE ...
