The LCD will show [oPt 1]. 2) Press the Ver/Set key to obtain the current rating. Your Novag Sapphire II will assign you with 1400 ELO points (shown on the LCD as [rt 1400]) to start with and your rating will be adjusted whilst you are playing games. The Ver/Set key is located on top right of your Novag Sapphire II. 3) To exit the RATING function: Press the GO key. 4) To reset the RATING function to 1400 points: Press the CLEAR key. 5) Play any *rated* game against your Novag Sapphire II. 6) To rate a game: Press the key with the Pawn symbol. A game can only be rated under the following conditions: your Novag Sapphire II must have resigned or there must be a draw or mate condition, otherwise you will hear 3 beeps and the [Error] sign will be displayed. 7) To offer a draw: Press the key with the Knight symbol. Your Novag Sapphire II will only consider a draw based upon your current rating and score. You can only claim a game as a draw position after 20 moves have been played. The LCD will show [rEJECt] if a draw in not accepted. 8) Resign a game: Press the key with the Bishop symbol to ask your Novag Sapphire II to rate this game as a losing game. Make sure that there are batteries in your Novag Sapphire II even if it uses an adapter connected any time otherwise you will lose the memory contens; part of it contains information about your rating! Hope this helps. Eran
