If you really want a chess engine with all the databases features then get Chess
Assistant 5, it has the chess tiger engine built in, and it will play chess also
!!!
Of course it is much expansive than a stand alone chess program. The price is
about US $155.00 for CA5 while a chess engine would cost about US $55.00.  If
you cannot afford CA5, the next best choice is Fritz 6 or Junior 6.
