Looking for simple chess software

I'm looking for chess software for my aunt. She is a beginner player and playing online is too stressful for her. Ideally if she could just click on a desktop icon after she turns her computer on. Simplicity is crucial.

So far I've found this: Chess Titans and free version of filiphofer.com .  But I want to give her couple more options and let her pick. Any thoughts, alternatives?

EDIT: added pics for visibility

Alright, after some consideration I have decided to download both of the programs and try them out. If anyone is looking for other recommendations, I've found this

Lucas Chess has a chess engine called Ufim 8.02 that can be set to play at a low ELO. It also has some easy to play childrens' levels I think with animal names. If your aunt is a Grandmaster, she can use Lucas Chess to play at an higher ELO.

I will definitely add it to the mix. I think my aunt would appreciate the beginner levels, although I don't know if animal names are for her haha. Thank you for your input!
