By pressing the B key, you can choose WHITE pieces, or by pressing the C key, BLACK pieces. This choice is important, because the player who has the white pieces starts the game. After this choice, you can choose the difficulty of the game. Checkmate has up to ten gradually increasing levels of difficulty marked with the numbers 0-9, so it is suitable for both complete beginners and significantly
advanced players. At lower difficulties, the computer moves almost immediately, at higher ones it thinks longer before each countermove, so at the highest difficulty its reaction to the player's move can follow in 15 or more minutes, but the countermove is also much more thought out.
