   That Chess Tutor with Chessica is good training not just for beginners, but
 also for people of some strength. Spend some time going through it, it will
 tend to sharpen your tactical vision.
   Chessica made a splash about 10 or so years back. It is still plenty strong,
especially on today's hardware. But let's face it, there is a flood of strong
software chess programs out there. We are spoilt.
