Chess Software Stack - What do you use?

Chess Position Trainer - Great product for free!

Chess Mentor III - Excellent tool

ChessMaster 10 - Nice tool

Fritz 5.32 - Free and fabulous!

I use Scid, with Robolito. (I like free stuff)

I have Fritz, but also dont like the interface, and it hangs my pretty old PC. Making different bases in Scid is just much easier for me. I download game collections here:

For mate in x puzzles, there is a really cool little program (the free version is highly functional) called problemiste.

If you are into composing, this is a must to check your efforts forr cooks and flaws.

For diagrams, I use EPD2DIAG

Cool stuff, and it didn't cost me a penny.

Anyone know some software which will allow to connect to the server of chess.com, I tried with Arena, but I could not connect. Perhaps not well entered the path on the server, thanks!

Opening Study:

Good old chess books and opening videos (mainly chess24). I want to try chessable though.

Chess Database Software:

I never really got used to anything other than ChessBase

Chess Games Collections:
ChessBase and 22chessdb (since KingBase is no longer maintained).
