looking for chess software recommendations
Hello there, the last time I bought chess software, it was still Fritz 6 lol
Looking for new software now, probably on pre-Windows-10 machine.
I really don't need it to play super strongly, as I'm only around 1900 lol
I'll use it for capturing games, annotating them, blunder-checking, etc.
I guess it would also be handy to have regularly updated opening theory?
Anything have a feature where I can practice recalling my opening lines?
So that's it, looking for any recommendations. And I do have a CD-drive.
Thanks and regards, arismarghetis at rogers dot com
getting the most out of chess software
Aris, there is the whole question of getting the most out of whatever software you do decide to get. John Nunn had his book, Secrets of Practical Chess, republished in 2008 and is a good place to start. He goes into how to use software for an opening game database, as well as a whole chapter on Using a Computer for chess generally.
That book was published 10 years ago. Whatever his advice then, things have progressed since.
