What chess software is recommended?
Chessmaster offers more per dollar in one program than its competition. For example, it offers extensive audio and text tutorials and exercises for beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes. It also has an online site for internet play. Its chess engine recently outplayed Grandmaster Larry Christensen. ChessBase offers great chess programs in Fritz and Junior. Although some justify buying two or three chess playing engines, the difference between an engine rated 2600 and 2800 is insignificant even for the advanced player.
