If don't mind DOS, then Rebel Decade is a very strong, and useful program, that has most of your requested features. Also, check www.gambit-soft.com - I think there is a link on this page for downloadable freeware from all over. Pay a little money, and you have many choices most of the comercial programs are available from, www.icdchess.com - My favorite is Fritz6 www.chessbase.com (or Junior, or Tiger, or whatever engine in the Fritz Gui), because it has a ton of features, including 303,056 games, the entertaining talk feature, and even auto-saves your games for you. Rebel-Tiger - www.rebel.nl/edindex.htm is the best bet, if you want to connect to an Internet chess server, and the roar of the Lion is not to be missed:). If you have a lot of extra money, and you can find it anywhere, than the T.A.S.C. R-30 with the SB-30 (smart-board 30), is the best chess studying set-up there is! I love having those L.E.D.s flashing the programs move, and studying chess with the beautiful wooden chess pieces, on a very nicely designed board. Maybe the DGT board is as good in many ways, but then you have to listen to the program moves on the computer's speakers (no L.E.D.s), to here the moves the software is making, or look often at the computer monitor. On the other hand, you can plug this board into most of the top software programs being sold today. With Smart-board, your limited by the driver's to Chessica, and maybe 2 or 3 other older programs.
