"very good program"

on March 28, 2009

Pros: It has most of the things one would hope for in a chess playing program.

"Great chess game"

by Dinochess on September 30, 2008

Pros: This demo allows players to play against Chess Genius on "instant mode". It is a strong chess game to play for free and is a very light download. Could be compared with Chess Titans on Windows Vista.

Cons: No cons found.
