It comes with a couple GNU Chess programs, and it will also allow you to use many more powerfull and interesting Chess engines. If you need any help setting Winboard up to use other engines, see this forum http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/ The Winboard Forum. It'll save games into pgn files, and of course you'll be able to open them and play them back with VCR like buttons or with your keyboard, you'll also be able to download and use tons of pgn databases of games by your favorite players or events, etc... You definately don't have to buy anything to do what you're asking the program to do. Spend your money on books or a nice Chess set instead. Pete
