What would you recommend? Thanks for the help. I suggest you try before you buy: Rebel: http://www.rebel.nl/edindex.htm Great program, full demo that is full strength on fridays and 200 points reduced the rest of the time. Opening books and other downloads at the site and lots of support. I highly recommend Rebel. :) Chessbase/Fritz: http://chessbase.com/ Limited program and 23 move limit on demo, but a very nice program. Winboard/Crafty: http://www.tim-mann.org/chess.html Strong free program and graphical interface. These two programs are a great addition and provide a very strong opponent and study partners. I highly recommend Crafty and Winboard and they are free! :) When you are ready to buy, buy from ICD, great prices and support! Best Regards, Chris Carson
