On this page, I will have the links to ALL the chess software that is FREE that is out there.
'Chess Corner' has a nice list of chess links for tons of software. Plus all the software is reviewed for you. Many of the software is free. ("Freeware," or "shareware.") This is a definite page for you to check out if you are searching for free chess-playing software for your computer.
(Click HERE to go there now.)
ChessBase - These are the guys who make some of the world's most highly regarded chess-related software. (Games and database manager like: ChessBase 8.0. Plus many of the world's TOP chess-playing programs like: Nimzo8, Fritz6, Junior6, HiArcs 7.32, etc.) The company is based in Germany. They have a player database, lots of photo's, news, and some reports on various chess-news items. They also have a FREE interactive, searchable 1.8 million games database! And best of all they offer a FREE program called ChessBase Lite!

SCID - Avoid the name brands. This program works with both WINDOWS AND LINUX-based platforms. Read and/or write in PGN OR Scid format. Use the super-strong "Crafty" program to analyze your chess games. Click HERE to go there now and start downloading!!
Chess
Lab - Apparently Chess-Lab has offered this program by Mark van
der Leek. Its called, "Chess
Pad." ( Click HERE
to go the page/home-page where you can download "Chess
Pad." Make sure you download
the PATCH too. ) Its free, easy to use, and no hassles. It reads
AND writes in the PGN format. It understands English and Dutch. And the BEST
PART? You can copy a TEXT file into the program, and it will AUTOMATICALLY
convert it into a chess file.
(Then save it as a PGN file.) NO MORE (laborious) MANUAL INPUT!!!

Mike Keatings's chess site: (www.mychess.com) A web-site with a lot of stuff ... and also an excellent viewer. VERY nice. Probably the nicest (java-script) chess board - for viewing games - that is available on the Internet. This is definitely a MUST-SEE if you are planning to build your own chess web site, or show chess games on-line.
Frank's Chess Page - This is a nice website all about chess. There is a lot to see and do here. You can also download a copy of WINBOARD from this site. (Many people prefer this interface for chess playing.)
(An excerpt from a reader's mail.)
<< Your archive links are the VERY best I've found as well. Here is a MUST HAVE:
