Hello guys.
Do anybody has a good chess game to suggest?
I used to play Chessmaster many years ago, and I’m looking for something similar, in particular:
Good AI, especially at low and medium levels
lessons divided per chapters/subjects
propedeutic exercises
small but complete opening and famous plays database
I tried to have a look on Stem, but there are tons of titles…

I haven’t played a chess game in the last few years, but Fritz Chess was always recommended by others to me:

Ah, I miss Battle Chess…
But it had an awful AI.

GNU Chess is very strong. It is free and open source software since 1984

You seem right. That looks as the best chess game around. But… WTF…?! Windows only???

Well, I can play it on Win only on my desktop… I have a MacBook as a laptop… well, I think I’ll buy it anyway…
Thank you!

News: after checking out several games, I stumbled upon chess.com .
I’m having a lot of fun, there. I’ll subscribe a premium account later, but first I want to fully explore the free features. it may take a while, it’s huge! Very nice…
Is anyone here interested in Go ?
Me! It’s the mother of all board games!

Not needed
The Amiga version has far superior sound. That goes for almost any game at the time.
That changed when games started to support Soundblaster and MT-32, but that alone did cost more than a complete Amiga.
