Re: PC Chess game
You could always try WinChess which has been around a while and is free as far as I know. How strong it is, I couldn't really say.

The trouble I normally have is either the game is too easy or if you put the level up it takes too long for the computer to make a move - but I'm quite impressed with chess mater 10th edition.
I also have an ongoing game at the moment with the person on the other shift to me...
I'm loosing

Re: PC Chess game
Also http://www.redhotpawn.com is a good chess site for correspondence chess or http://www.uchess.com for blitz. I play on both. Uchess is a sister site.
