This game also formed the
basis of a corresponding Chess-Vision exercise.
We encourage you to first work through that exercise before tackling
this one.
|
Similar to Predict-A-Move and Solitaire-type
chess exercises, Recon64 challenges players to
find candidate moves from games played by
masters. Players are encouraged to search
for several strong candidate moves in each
position, and are rewarded
as long as their list of moves includes the move selected by the master
during the game. As an extra twist, players
invest Recon64 dollars on candidate moves based
on how likely they think each move was used in
the original game.

Some Sample Screens and Instructions for Using
Recon64
(The Screen Images Shown Here Are Examples Only)
Predicting Possible Moves:
- Click on one of the highlighted numbers from
1-6 on the right side of the screen.
- Click on the beginning and ending square of
a candidate moves -- the notation for the move
will be written for you.
- Repeat this sequence for up to 6 candidate
moves. Be sure to click a number before
clicking squares.
- After evaluating your choices, assign a
dollar amount to each based on how likely you
think each move was actually played by Keres.
- Use the Calculate and Show Move
buttons when ready to see if you correctly
anticipated Keres' move.

 |
How Your Earnings Increase or
Decrease:
- Feedback is provided for your predictions
after each move.
- If you anticipated Keres' move, you receive
back ALL of the Recon64 money that you invested
on your predictions and the amount you
invested in the correct move will be added to
your total cash available.
- If you didn't anticipate Keres' move, the
total amount you invested in your predictions
will be subtracted from your total.
- Unless you are SURE of the move Keres made,
it will be wise to list more than one candidate
move each turn.
