So far I found http://www.freechess.org/. Thanks for >all the help so far. Almost everything you will need is in Leo Dijksman's site: http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/. Crafty was the strongest free engine for many years and I think it is still very popular. Crafty Classic 2004 has many different personalities and levels of play and in my opinion is good for a start. I also like Yace, because of its playing style and its good annotate feature. If you are looking for the strongest free engines, look at the rating lists. There is much debate about this, but I think that ProDeo, Aristarch and Ruffian are the strongest free WinBoard engines (approximately of the same strength), and also List (which is a UCI engine and you will have to follow some procedure before you can make it run under WinBoard).
