What program could you advise me ? In advance thank you. Patrick I think the closest thing to those requirements is CM6000. The biggest bugaboo is internet playing, and CM does have some sort of chess play room. There was a big storm about it being unavailable for a long time. I have CM5500 but I don't play it on the net so I do not know if it is operational now. There are no commercial programs that I am aware of that are Winboard compatible. 3-d chess boards are all ugly and hard to play. [IMO-YMMV] I would suggest (if you are computer saavy) to try CDB+Winboard+Crafty for free. Also, read the reviews on the other arm of the CCC. Most important, find a reputable dealer of the software. If you are in doubt, why not try them out first?
