Next, the structure of the electronic circuit provided in the case body I will be explained with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes a key input unit constituted by the keyboard 3, and signals to the keys are sent to a control unit 22. This control section 22
The panel display section 2. Setting stone position storage unit 23. Okiishi data storage section 24. The thinking section 250 and the win/loss determining section 26 are connected.

Further, the control section 22 is provided with a successive key determination section 22a that determines whether the read key 13 is operated. The placement position storage unit 23 includes a row storage area 23a for storing all specified row and column positions, a 1-column storage area 23b, and a type storage area for storing whether the stone struck is a black stone or a white stone. 23c is provided. Further, a sound alarm section 2 is connected to the control section 22, and the buzzer 22 is driven by the sound alarm section 22.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. To start the game, the start key 11 is operated. When the start key 11 is operated,
A control signal is sent from the control section 22 to the board display section 2, and the board surface section 4 is set to the initial state, that is, two black stones and two white stones are placed in the center.
Displayed one by one. FIG. 41 shows the display state of the board display section 2 during the game.

In FIG. 4, the hand number display electrode 5 and the black stone display electrode 2 are driven to display, indicating that the primary turn is the user and the black stone. At this time, the placement position storage section 23 holds position data for the previous move made by the computer.

For example, if the computer places a white stone in row B and column 6, data of 1B6 white is held in the placement position storage unit 23. In this state, if the user specifies money in row C, column 4, as shown in FIG. 4, using the row key 9 and column key 10, and operates the set key 12f, the control unit 22 goes to step S1 in FIG. As shown in the figure, the key placement process for human power is performed. In other words, the control unit 22 causes the stone data storage unit 24 to store the stone data for the black stone in row 0 and column 4, and also stores the white stone in row D and column 4, which is sandwiched between the black stone in row 0 and column 4, in the stone data storage. section 24 (l/) to invert the result and display the result on the keyboard display section 2. In this case, the location memory F!
In 1B23, the data "B6 white" for the white stone of the @ time is held as is. This completes the process for the user's key power, and the control unit 22 moves to step S in FIG. 3! Then, an operation command is given to the win/lose determining unit 26, and the CPU 20 refers to the stored contents of the stone data storage unit 24 to determine whether or not the win/lose has been determined. If the winner is not determined,
Proceeding to step Ss, the control section 22 gives an operation command to the thinking section 25, and drives the early number display electrode 8 to display in place of the previous turn display electrode 5 and the black stone display electrode 2, so that the first turn is displayed on the computer. Display something. When the upper Yumi thinking unit 25 is given an operation command from the control unit 22, it operates according to a predetermined program, and the Okiishi data storage unit 24
Think about Shiraishi's next move by referring to the memory data. Then, based on the thought result, as shown in FIG.
Kuroishi D5. Flip B4 to white stone. after that.

The control unit 22 performs B'r as shown in step S4 in FIG.
An operation command is sent to the j/lose determining unit 26 to determine 1 win/lose and to determine whether or not it is 7ζ. If the winner or loser has not been determined, proceed to step S, and rewrite '4' in the weight position memory section 23 to the white hand "F3 white" that the computer just played, and also display the 1st move display electrode 6 and the white stone display electrode 8. Instead, the number display electrode 5 and the black stone display electrode 2 are driven for display. However,
If the user wants to check the move that the computer has just made, he operates the read key 13 in the above state. When the read key 13 is operated, the successive key operation determination unit 22a
determines this, and stores the memory content “Fa
The control section 22 outputs a blinking signal to the panel display section 2, causing all of the display electrodes F and 3 to blink, and also causes the white stone displayed at the F3 position to blink.

The above blinking display continues while the successive key operation determination unit 22a determines that the read key 13 is pressed.
When the read key 13 is released, the display returns to the static display state as shown in FIG. 4. Thereafter, as the user manually inputs the next move of the black stone, the processes of steps 81' to S in FIG. 3 are repeated, and the game progresses.

If it is determined in step S2 or step 8 that the winner is determined, the process proceeds to step S6, and the winner is displayed according to the determination result. For example, in the embodiment of A% 1 above, in which the winner is displayed by playing a specific melody, or by displaying a flashing display on the move number display electrode 5.6, the readout key 13 is used to immediately display the opponent's previous move. This is very convenient in case you miss one display.
