Read this first. It is a nice explanation of how to set things up under
Winboard, along with other useful amateur chess engine information:

You may want to get at least some tablebase files. You can find them here:
{must have}:
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/three/
{Ought to have}:
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/four/
{nice to have}:
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/five/
{glutton for punishment?}:
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/six/
Here is how to get Winboard:

Maybe Arena will be easier for you to use:
http://www.playwitharena.com/
Or you can use Chess Assistant
http://store.convekta.com/shop_model.asp?sView=Catalog&gid=62#product585
Or you can use ChessMaster
http://chessmaster.ubi.com/
Or you can use SCID
http://scid.sourceforge.net/
I think you can probably use ChessBase.
Lots of helpful links here:
