Anyone know of a good free chess program to download? One where you play against the computer and not another person?

Depends on the meaning of "good". ; )

Good in being "adjustable" to the specific user or good in the complexity and sophistication of the programming? Pawn's a good starter engine.

Pawn

Pawn"


Just what I was looking for! Now that I have found how to lower the skill level, it is a lot of fun. Thanks. By "good" I meant stable and not a resource hog. Now I need to figure out how to (I think they call it) castle. I see the opposing side switch the king and castle around, but I can't seem to be able to do it.

Maybe Fritz has that option. I'm gonna keep an eye out for it.
