Welcome...
to my selection of the best free chess software and other downloads on the net. There is very little that you can do with the latest commercial software that you can't do equally well (and sometimes even better) for free. If you want to play a game against your computer, replay a game from a grandmaster database, analyze a position, learn an opening, or play against someone on the internet, the software on this site is a good place to start!
A big thank you goes to the companies and individuals who have made their software freely available: without them this site wouldn't be possible.
If you enjoy this site, or have any suggestions as to programs I should include, I'd be glad to hear from you. Please leave a message in the Guestbook.
Kind regards
Zarkon Fischer
P.S. The best book I have ever read is The Easy Way To Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. Reviews here.
