Probably either Crafty or Little Goliath is the strongest free program.  Yace
0.99 may be equally strong, but I don't have nearly as much data on the new Yace
as on the other two.

Why not get a bunch of them?  It's more fun that way.

AnMon is very strong.  Phalanx is very strong.  The Crazy Bishop is very strong.
 Get your own stable of thoroughbred ponies for the price of a download.

For that matter, why not buy some professional programs.  Chess programs are a
real bargain in the software world.  Considering the enormous effort that goes
into them, you can get high level programs for about $100 which is a tremendous
bargain.

Titanic masters who will slave for you at your beck and call, whenever you like.

I am very fond of Rebel, Chess Tiger, and I think Shredder is a real eye-popper
too.  I don't have any of the chessbase programs because I use Chess Assistant.
I don't think the chessbase engines will work in that environment.
