Congratulations. I'm sorry about your difficulties but glad you're recovering. You sound like a very nice person.

Databases are everywhere for free:  Chessbase, chessgames.com, ChessLab, to name 3 populars one.

Chess-playing computer programs themselves seem to me to be rather poor learning tools.

Electronically, that leaves some program designed specifially toward chess improvement.

Personally, I prefer books and problems. 

A BIG THANK YOU TO  ALL FORUM  MEMBERS  WHO  GAVE ME SUGGESTIONS AND  MADE  COMMENTS,  I  APPRECIATE ALL OF THEM  AND  WILL CALL ON YOU  IF I NEED H3ELP  IN  SOMETHING ON  CHESS.
