Beginning a new game

 

Selecting New Game from the Game menu will put the initial chess setup on the board. The chess brain is stopped if necessary. The clocks are reset for the current level of play and the opening book is to reflect the first move.

 

If there still was a not-saved game on the board ChessPartner asks you whether or not you wish to keep that game before erasing it forever. This confirmation protects you from accidental loss.
