Instructions and Tips
  • If you would like to browse through the Deep Blue-Kasparov game, try the site's game viewer utility.

  • In this exercise you try to visualize moves made from a starting diagram, and then find all legal captures and checks that could be made in the envisioned position.

  • On the right, select how many half-moves you want to try to look ahead each turn.

  • Next, select how much time you wish to allow yourself to find all the possible captures and checks.

  • Decide whether you want to use the default starting position or manually select where in this month's game you'll start.

  • Once you choose a starting target position, the exercise will begin. The clock will be running! Click on squares in the diagram AS IF THE LISTED MOVES HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE to indicate where every move that could make a capture or give check STARTS and ENDS. Correct responses will automatically be notated in the tables -- all you do is click!
