hi Dick

Fidelity released two versions of the Micro as you have said
the regular one had 4 rows while the one released in conjunction with CXG had 3
rows.the CXG version was called Pocket Chess

around 1990 Fidelity and CXG entered into a liscense agreement and several
computers were released that were exactly the same except for the name or
"badge" on the face of the computer
other examples would include the Chess Card and the Mini chess

i dont have my Micro here with me but i do recall that the SP key was to set up
a position

if you look at the keys you will see chess figures which were used to set up a
position


as to the levels...

i am going from memory here  but it would be only  one of two ways

the Micro had 64 levels of play

i think if you press the LV key followed by a number 1-64(look at the keys and
you will see the numbers next to the letters..A1..B2..etc)then the EN key it
should change the level

if not the only other way would be to keep pressing the LV key until the level
increases and then the EN key


if i had the Micro here i could test it

it is either one of those two methods

sorry i cant say what the different levels are from memory


Best
Steve
