Pros
The software is easy to use...the set-up and play is <p>very much intuitive. It takes little drive space, and there is no fussing with chess engines or choices of graphic presentations.
Cons
Aside from the plain-jane format (which contributes to its efficiency,) I see no cause for complaint from anyone who wants a simple, quick program to play against.
Summary
FREE & GOOD
