Iv been looking for a program to drop my RHP pgns into. I can use fritz, but it has the most annoying habit of setting the clocks going and trying to make the other persons move after iv moved. Does anyone know of a simple board program that lets me move the pieces to my hearts delight without ever bugging me and saves databases, id prefer something with a 3d board option, but 2d is fine.

I use winboard,it's free.
You could also set fritz on infinite analyses,then it won't move unless you force it.

Greyeyesofsorrow, why don't you set fritz to infinite analysis, then you can just move the pieces around and it'll give you the analysis score and not move any pieces by itself? Hope this helps.

I tell everyone to get that tool, it is great compared to the RHP analize board... since you can back up and move forward.
