Pawn promotion

When a pawn reaches the other side of the board it is promoted to another

piece. The display shows the different pieces you can select. If you do not

select a piece, Centaur will assume you want the pawn to turn into a Queen. In

that case you can simply play Centaur's next move and continue the game. To

promote to a different piece, select the piece by pressing the "Up" and "Down"

buttons and confirming your choice by pressing the "Ok/Menu" button. The

selection screen will disappear and you can continue the game.

You have won the game if you have checkmated Centaur or you lost the game

when Centaur has checkmated you. Other reasons for ending a game are a

draw, a stalemate or insufficient material to checkmate. The result of the game

is shown in the display.

A checkmate is displayed with a 1-0 (white won) or 0-1 (black won) and

"Checkmate" appears on the display.

The game is drawn when the player to move has no legal move and his

King is not in check. The game is said to end in "Stalemate" . The result of the

game is a draw and "Stalemate" appears in the display.

In a draw, the game ends in a tie. The display will show the "½ - ½" notation

with the word "Remis".

If you want to start a new game, simply place all pieces in the starting position. As soon as Centaur

detects that the pieces are in the starting position it automatically starts a new game. You will hear a

beep (if the sound is turned on) to indicate a new game can be started.

Beware!

Game information for the previous game is deleted as soon as you finish setting up the starting

position for a new game; your previous game can no longer be viewed.

Adjourning and restarting a game

You can interrupt a game and continue it at a later time. During play simply turn off Centaur by pressing

the "On/Off" button for 3 seconds. If you wish you can remove the pieces from the board. When

restarting Centaur, the adjourned game position is shown on the display. If you had removed the pieces,

replace them as indicated on the display and you can continue the game.

Beware!

Do not put the pieces in the starting position. If you do this your current game will be removed

from the board memory.
