What is the best Chess game on PC ?


Recommended Posts

@Switchblade, too many square :no: :p

I use Chess Titans because it's part of Vista :laugh:, I don't think I'd pay for a chess game for the PC.

Here's a screenshot of the white king being a pimp:

Chessmaster 10 is ok. If you want a good chess program, choose one of the following: Shredder 10, Fritz 9, Hiarcs 10, Zap!Chess, Junior 9, ChessTiger 15, Fruit.

That depends on what you define "best" as.

Best interface? Best analysis? Best training? Best online?

How serious of a Chess player are you?

For a reasonably good interface, training and library of games for casual players, Chessmaster 10 is ok.

For more professional quality of play, online features with pro players and a extensive library (with a mediocre interface), try Fritz 9:

If you just want to download a quick client for some fun games with some online capability, then try Chess Rally:

And there is always the free (if you ignore the ads) Yahoo online games at:

Hope that helps!

thanks for replies

I want the smartest one of them

that you feel it is impossible to be beaten

You're welcome.

Impossible is a difficult word in this context. Personally, I don't feel that any program is impossible to beat. Unbelievably difficult, yes. Impossible? No.

If you have a multiprocessor machine (dual core too), then try one of these:

Deep Junior 9

Deep Shredder 10

Keep in mind that unless you are playing at a Grandmaster level, most Chess programs will challenge you at their highest settings. I used to enter tournaments, and Fritz 9 gives me a challenge any day of the week.
