I am just coming back to chess after a few decades. I have a new desk top computer but running WIN 7 which I like.
Would like to purchase a chess software program. Yes I Know any of them will beat me to a pulp but I want a good chess program with many options.
I am looking at Chess King 4 with Hudini 4 which is on eBay ($49.95) and Amazon ($59.97) both at a resonable price. It looks up to date and seems to be the latest. Also this company (Chess Queen/Chess King puts out many traning videos which I was hoping would be built into the orginal software but maybe hoping for too much.
Is this about the best I can buy for my $$$ and are their training videos very good? Was rated 1446 30 years ago and probably much weaker now. I do enjoy the game and chess collecting of old chess literature.
If youre just loooking for a chess engine, it doesnt really matter which one you get (Just my opinion) They are all rated over 3000, so i dont see what more any human will get out of a chess engine rated 3100 versus 3000?
I have chess king 4. Its really good, i think youll be happy with it.
if you want a cyberpartner, schredder classic will be very interesting (human like and thrilling to play at 1600 elo, i think it is the only one who can do that, not hiarcs or chesstiger or worst houdini can reaaly reduce his way to play)
if you want to analyse your game fritz 5.32 is better than all the other engine, because you can understand the answer of fritz 5.32 (and it is free).
if you want a db soft, scid vs pc.
