ABSTRACT:
Game playing apparatus whereby a single individual may play a complete game, such as chess or the like, during which each of the player's moves will automatically be evaluated, separate and apart from an ultimate win or loss determination. In the case of chess the apparatus accepts program cards defining the initial set-up of the board, and presenting a selection of distinctive move choices for each of a series of moves. The apparatus includes a scorekeeping device so that points associated with each move may be accumulated, from which points may be subtracted in accordance with incorrect moves selected by the player from among the plurality of distinctive move choices for that particular move. In that regard, selection of any of the plurality of move choices exposes the relative merit value of that choice for subtraction from the accumulated score, the selection of the ideal move providing the reply move by the apparatus. Other features of the apparatus are disclosed, such as a system for providing multiple levels of play from a single program card or set of program cards.
