Price: feel free to try the trial, 25.00$

This is a great software for it’s time. It teaches you lots of basic logical moves and when to employ them. It can be handy for both novices and a bit experienced players. The trial is nearly as same the full except in the full you get some lessons from a few grandmaster games. I suggest you get this if you have windows 98,95 other then that it isn’t anything special.

I will describe this program very fast and very clearly.

Online Chess matches vs players around the world by the net.

Chess matches versus the built-in AI.

A good chess database,  a database of every chess player ever.

A very user friendly programmer, that will be nice for the newer players.

If the settings aren’t  to your likening easily tweet them.

Not much else could be said about this program, easy to install and uninstall. Every beginner should start with something light like this.

Pawn, simple, clean and easy. Those would the three words that I would use to describe this program. The program itself and it’s options are easy to navigate. It is what it is, a program simply for new players ( who know the rules) to hone their skills. With alot of features to make the program to your delight. It still won’t be a program for the good players. It isn’t that the program’s ai aren’t tough but that a true chess player will want to load engines and have the program use it’s computer’s power to the max. Have tournaments between engines, learn from them etc..

Still a good program for those who are new but with the knowledge of the rules. And plus it’s free.
