Version: Mayura Chess Board 1.7

"Best freeware chess program."

by jfame on May 14, 2006

Pros: This is probably the best free chess program available.

Cons: During setup this program asks you to download Microsoft .NET Framework from microsoft.com, which is fine if you have fast internet connection, but be forewarned that this file can take over an hour to download over a modem.
