I have had a lot of success using
ChessMaster which was made for windows.
Other chess games seem to take too long to move.
Although, even ChessMaster gets lost on occasion.
I guess what I am saying is that there are no great chess games
out there.  This is probably because the pc does not have the power to play
complex positions yet.
