FAQ
How do I access ChessGenius help??
ChessGenius has built in help. Select help from the "Options" Menu on the ChessGenius start
screen. How do I castle with ChessGenius?
To castle move your king two squares to the right or left. If castling is legal ChessGenius will accept the
move and move your rook.
Castling is legal if the king and rook have not moved before in the game, the king is not in check and the squares that the
king moves through are not attacked. For a better explanation and an excellent tutorial see www.chesscorner.com ChessGenius made an illegal
pawn capture
This is probably an en passant capture. To find out more see the next question How can
I find out about the rules of chess?
For an excellent tutorial see the learn section at www.chesscorner.com How can I transfer a game from
my phone to my Desktop PC?

chess programs. Games are saved to the Nokia Notes application. Games can be transferred to desktop PC in the same way as
any Note. Refer to the Notes application for details. ChessGenius saves/loads games in PGN format. What
is PGN?
