Dear Zarkon,

I plan to develop a free web-based chess tutor program for small children in Hungary.
I am looking for a free chess application, which I can use in it.

What I might need is not mainly to play with the computer, rather show the board and moves (forward - back) from an input figure.

Would you help me where can I find usable free source code for that (e.g. Java)?

Thank you for your help in advance,

Best Regards,
Janos Pallagi

Wow! It's been awhile since I've surfed the online chess world. I really appreciate this site Zarkon! Do you have a personal e-mail? Well I'm sure you do, but would you have a personal e-mail address for me?

In the past I have played e-mail chess, like IECG. What would be the best "FREE" chess software for an e-mail chess player like me who needs basicity? I found that word in dictionary.com. Seriously though, what would be a good simple, easy to use program for someone who suffers from computer illiterate?

Thanks for putting in so much free labor for your fellow chess players Zarkon!

I pray the Lord Jesus blesses you abundantly according to His Riches in Glory!

Re limitations of CBlight 2007:

Strange then that it allows you to edit your database, delete, sort etc.

I hadn't noticed the read-only limitation, as I used Fritz to create the databases, and allow most of the functionality not in CB Light 2007.

Very, very nice site. Despite being experienced free software user, I found a lot of things I hadn't known before.
As one of the ChessX developers, I would like to ask you to consider adding link to our free chess database for Windows, Mac and Linux. It was heavily inspired by Scid, but we wanted to use more modern user interface. Of course, a lot of features is missing yet, but we hope for more feedback from users.

Maybe you can replace the link to Scid by the link to ChessDB or add a new link to it.

In addition I recommend my own site with chess lessons ;-)

Would you mind adding a link to http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/ which is for ChessDB, a free chess database, based on Scid. It is basically Scid with some bug fixes and enhancements. Note you say in your page about Scid that it has no UCI support. It (and ChessDB) work with UCI engines if you user Polyglot as an inerface. I use Toga II inside Scid (and now ChessDB of couse) with no problems.

Zarkon,
I am really glad I have found your web page, so I can be updated about all the new engines that pops up on the market. Thanks to it, I have discovered and added Toga II on my personal engine match (that counts with Fritz 9, Rybka 1.0 and 2.0 Demo, Fruit 2.1, Ruffin 1.0.1, and Spike 1.2).
Unfortunely, my Chessbase program (Fritz 9) is facing some difficulties to create the Pro Deo uci engine into a playable engine. I go to "Engine->Create UCI Engine->Browse->Rebeluci" but it appears an error window "Rebeluci: Error starting the game".
Does it happen to you aswell? Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for your attention
and, again, for you awesome site

It would be nice to have a small portable database program, in order to be able just to have a look at that pgn or even cbh file from a pen drive, or to tip you own game. Ever heard of something similar?

One more suggestion: why not to add a section on pairing and tournament management software? Here I do have my personal pick:
