Have you ever looked at any of the commercial programs for example Fritz 5 Junior 5, Rebel 10? Actually look at Comet which is free. It has most of the features one would want. I hesitate to suggest advanced features until you get the basic features in. Ex: better looking pieces, When the computer is thinking, it's clock running time should show, score evaluation,player player mode with on screen engine analysis.....etc. The commercial program Chess Partner 4 has the features that you should strive for. -- Komputer Korner
