Where to play vs. computer on line?

Can anyone recommend any sites for playing against non-human opponents on line, preferably with varying difficulty levels? Thanks.
(Yes, I'm too lazy and cheap to find and buy a game!)

no choices of difficulty im afraid but this is a rather novel one:

I think the Think Machine 4 is too slow.
Try:

http://www.math.duke.edu/~blake/chess.html

If you are really having troubles, try to Google it.

Hilarious!

Doesnt FICS (http://www.freechess.org/) let you play against chess engines? There are also some online sites for computer opponents listed at http://www.chessopolis.com/online.htm

Plus if you are too cheap to buy a game, why not download winboard and some of the free winboard chess engines like spike or gnuchess? Though perhaps the "lazy" part of "too lazy and cheap" rules that out 😛

That's a great site. Thanks, Deece.

Try going to www.shredderchess.com You can play there against one of the best computers in the world. Plus, you can download the program for 30 days for free.
