Best value? Most aggressive? Highest calculated ELO? My favorites: 1. Crafty + Winboard [Least expensive and most fun FOR A PROGRAMMER -- non-programmers or the terribly non-technical will find it frustrating] 2. CM5500 [quite inexpensive commercial product -- CM6000 is probably even better, but I have not tried that one]. 3. CS-Tal [agressive and interesting games] I am sure that you will find plenty of Fritz and Rebel fans. Also Hirarcs, etc. All the commercial programs are pretty good. I recommend that you read KK's reviews. They are especially appropriate to a product end-user who just wants to play chess with computers and get the most features possible. You can find KK's reviews at Gambitsoft. [Maybe ICC should carry them too -- hint, hint].
