A methodical and cerebral chess program that feels like a serious, quiet training session for dedicated players.

What players say
Players are split: the engine is strong and it works as a learning tool with deep options, but the Steam edition cuts features from the full version, notably the analysis tab and direct Playchess login. The interface is dated and unintuitive, and some report it requires an internet connection to function.
