Here are a couple good FTP sites for chess programs: ftp://ftp.pitt.edu/group/chess/PROG/ and ftp://chess.onenet.net If you want a good strong game, you can get Bob Hyatt's "Crafty", from ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt Bob was one of the authors of the famed Cray Blitz program which dominated computer chess in the early to mid 80's, and Crafty is widely considered the "son" of Cray Blitz. Version 11.15 should be available by now, but I do know 11.14 is there. If you're into programming, the full source code is also there (yes, Bob releases his source code as well). The only thing is Crafty is a text interface program, but there is an interface for Win 95 called WinBoard that will give Crafty a graphical interface.
