"Not sure if its the best idea."
Version: 100% Free Chess 7.42
Pros
no idea. not been able to start it up yet.
Cons
not been able to get it to work yet in win7. installation puts in 7 toolbar, downloader, internet backup program, Advertisement program, and invisible updater. some can be opted out during install.
Summary
look for other chess programs 1st. unless your are willing to buy the full install version. I suspect it may only install the program and let you opt the other installations. AS i have not been able to get it to work yet my opinion may be a bit biased.

"Too many features only available in paid version."
Version: 100% Free Chess 7.42
Pros
Easily beaten on lower levels which is good for beginners.
Cons
Can't access higher levels unless you buy it.
Some annoying features can only be changed in paid version.Summary
A trial of the full version would make it's evaluation easier. I don't think it is suitable as a free program since too many features can only be used in the paid version. Many features in the free version are annoying to an experienced chess player.

"Loads too much does too little"
Version: 100% Free Chess 7.42
Pros
You can play chess with it.
Cons
There is far too much bloatware associated with the title. It asks for too much info about me before it works, it doesn't work without internet connectivity, which tells me that it is sharing stuff I don't want it to share.
Summary
This is not worth the download.

"Easy to use and install"
Version: 100% Free Chess 7.42
Pros
As a diversion it is OK. The free ware version is limited in choice of opponents but particularly for beginners , it is good.
Cons
The opponents in the intermediate range, which is all that is available, make too many stupid moves, thus making the game too easy.
Summary
Overall, a good choice, but will probably need the upgrade for tough competition.

"it's free and it's great!"
Version: 100% Free Chess 7.42
Pros
great for beginners/novices (my g-kids for instance, 6 & 7)
has tutorial
you can set level of play
during play you can request a 'hint'/recommendation
very forgiving (you can undo a move when needed)Cons
none (hey, the silly thing is free!)
Summary
i bought my g-kids a chessboard and a couple of books for them to learn and so we could play once a week once they've learned but they were dragging their feet having to read and try to play, etc. with the 100% free chess game it's a piece of cake --they quickly picked up on the moves per type, etc, and after an afternoon playing with it they're ready to begin to play and beat grandpa ... and it's freakin' free! later they can upgrade once they're ready...

"Basic game only"
Version: 100% Free Chess 7.42
Pros
Good for beginners
Cons
Will only give you minimum level of difficulty
Summary
You would have to pay for the whole program to find out how good it was windows 7 has a stronger chess game

"The free download is only to lure you into buying."
Version: 100% Free Chess 7.42
Pros
Nice graphics. Hints and legal moves display.
Cons
Suicidal sacrifices by the computer opponent ruin the game. (Same with Chess Titans regrettably.)
Summary
I won't actually uninstall it just yet, not until I find something better anyway. Back in the 1980's Borland's Turbo Chess beat the heck out of this version... sigh.
