    Could someone please advise a good Chess game program, I have been looking at ChessMaster 9000 (Ubi Soft). I would prefer maybe something like animated Chess where the pieces battle. Any links to online chess, game demos, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

    Apparently, both Deep Blue and Deep Fritz are good ;P Vagif Abilov MCP (Visual C++) Oslo, Norway Hex is for sissies. Real men use binary. And the most hardcore types use only zeros - uppercase zeros and lowercase zeros. Tomasz Sowinski

      You mean Archon? I know there have been several different versions over the past several years. The first time I played it was on my Commodore 64, back in 1986. In CGA graphics, no less ;) -Sean

        I guess Fritz is the best commercially available one. www.kasparov.com[^] www.pogo.com[^] On both sites you can play with other people. On kasparov.com, you can play with computers also.

              It's a bit older, but Battle Chess 4000, was supposed to be pretty good. BW "I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit." - Mel Brooks.

                  For a beginner ;P, which you obviously seem to be I would recommend yahoo chess -http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=ch I just think it is more user friendly and there are many more online players here than elsewhere. I think that anyone who is interested in 'pieces fighting' has to be a beginner!:laugh: Yahoo also does chess ladders which was really cool when it was free (I got to the top 30).

                          Y'know, if that were implemented well, you could have a popular game on your hands! Instead of grabbing weapons, you could pick up "movement styles". Of course, strategy would probably change immensely with 16 players per team, and real-time action... ;P John
