You should be able to spend $60 and buy Fritz...if it works for Fritz, it should for all of them. The engines are different, but the interface is the same. As for Winboard, it's very easy...won't take you long to get up to speed at all. And once you get the CD put together, the authors will be sending YOU their latest updates to keep it current. I really hope you do this. Raj
