JAHANGIR KHAN - PROFILE



The Sportsman



Jahangir Khan is one of the world's most successful sportsmen. World Squash Champion

six times, and winner of nine successive British open squash titles, he continues to

break world records with his achievements.



Born in Karachi, Pakistan in December 1963, he learned to play squash at the age of

seven, a very natural step for the son of a former British Champion, his father Rossan

Khan, who won the title in 1957.



At fifteen he won the World Amateur Squash Championships, and at seventeen became

the youngest ever professional World Champion. Since then he has won every squash title

in the world, and over a six year span played in over 500 international matches without

a defeat - an achievement unique in world sport.





INTRODUCTION



This is the latest in a fine line of quality sport simulations from Krisalis Software,

and offers a wealth of game features and options around an immensely playable, faithful

and addictive squash simulation.



Squash is a simple game to understand and is regularly played by hundreds of thousands

of enthusiasts around the world. Although it is an easy sport to get into, it can take

years to attain the levels of fitness and expertise to become a world ranking player.





RULES



The Court A squash court is rectangular in shape with the back floor divided into

two halves and a service box at the front of each of these halves. The

distant wall is marked with a horizontal service line (the "Cut"), and

another parallel line just above the floor (the "Board") with the "Tin"

below this.



Service All serves are taken from within the appropriate service box and must

bounce off the distant wall, above the Cut, before landing in the

opponent's half of the court. However, the ball can be returned before

touching the ground. There is an option to allow for a second service

("Old Rules").



Rallies The ball can bounce any number of times off any walls, before or after

hitting the end wall. It may then bounce once only on the ground before

it must be returned, or it may be volleyed.



Scoring A rally is won if the ball bounces more than once on the ground before

your opponent can return it, or they fail to hit the end wall in the

required area. Service is then transferred to the rally winner, or if

they already have service, then they will be awarded a point. The winner

is the first player to 9 points, if the score gets to 8 all, the receiving

player has the option to play up to 9 ("No Set") or 10 ("Set Two").

Arcade Section



To serve If your opponent is standing in the left hand back quarter waiting to

receive a service, move the joystick left and forward to make a power

shot, left and back to make a lob shot. Holding the joystick in this

way and pressing fire will start the game. (The ball must hit the

front wall and bounce in your opponent's back quarter to be a successful

serve, unless your opponent returns your service before it hits the back

quarter) - for a right hand serve reverse the procedure.



Rallies After a successful service has been made, use your joystick to move your

player to the position you estimate the ball will land - at this point

hold down the fire button and move the joystick. Left makes a standard

left bias shot, left and up to make a left bias power shot, left and down

to make a left bias drop shot. Right makes a standard right bias shot,

right and up to make a right bias power shot, right and down to make

a right bias drop shot. Up makes a straight power shot, down makes a

straight drop shot, with joystick centered makes a standard shot.



If you have selected the easy option you will only have to move your player to the correct

positon and the return shot is automatic but the shot bias will be in the direction of the

current joystick position.



You start off in the bottom rung of your Club League and you must work your way up the

ladder to become Club Champion (it is advisable to become proficient at Club level before

playing in the World Championships).



Good Luck!
