what's a good chess engine that can analyze games and tell the best move and tell me like the percentage of winning for each side? similar to the one used on the instantchess.com

doesnt have to be free

As long as you don't plan on cheating, google Fritz (free) or Rybka (not free).

Rybka is better, but both are solid and play at GM level (I think)

Fritz 5.32 is free, and it plays at around 2500 (GM) strength. If you want top of the line, then go with Rybka, whose latest version plays at 3200 strength! Better than any human player ever, though I believe Bobby Fischer once had a performance rating around 3000 for his 1970's Candidate match where he beat both Taimanov and Larsen 6-0 - unheard of in chess - and then handily beat one of the best ever, Tigran Petrosian and won the WCC a year (?) or so later.

Crafty is ok, but Fritz 5.32 is still the best. It allows more than one line to be calculated by the engine (so the player can see what the 2nd and 3rd best moves were, not just the 1st). It also allows the input of variations which Crafty does not allow. Not to mention, it is stronger as well.

Jose Chess is one good tool for game analysis. The great thing is that you cn plug a wide variety of engines, including Fritz and Crafty. It aldo has a big database from GM games.
