Opens the current folder and asks if you want to save the game using the suggested file name of your name and current game number. Saving the position takes a snapshot of the position, roll, score, setup and player's name and other options for later recall.
Open position
Opens the current folder to display any positions that you have previously stored. Double-click on your choice to open any position for further study. You may continue play from the stored position.
Take back move
This will reset the checkers to the position at the beginning of the roll. The dice will be unaffected. This is useful if you have made a mistake or changed your mind during you roll. Also you may take back the computer's move to study the position before the roll. You must then press the space bar to reactivate the computer's move.
Pip count
A pip is the measure of one checker moving from one point to another point. This option displays the number of pips to bear all your men off and gives the same information about your opponent窶冱 position. This is essentially an indication of who is ahead in the race. This factor becomes more critical as the amount of interaction between opposing checkers decreases.
ﾂ
If you are using 13窶 or larger color or grayscale monitor, the pip count is continuously displayed at the bottom of the screen and this option is not needed.
