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.
