For reasons beyond my control, I'm stuck with Gnuchess and the free Chess Assistant. I might toss chess assistant in the bin but I discovered I can only score one win out of 5 versus Gnuchess. How many of you can beat Gnuchess and what is your rating OTB and here in RHP?

Is chessmaster free? I don't have the bandwidth to download something that is only a trial.

It is only 20 bucks; you can’t be that much of a cheap wad.

Hey guys don't offer me software via IM please. If I really want chess software all I have to do is popin to the London Chess shop and get some real stuff - so no warez please.

It should perhaps be added to RHP's termas and conditions not to offer copyrighted software. Using RHP to do so may present legal problems for RHP.

GNUCHESS is rather human-like in playing for draws when the position is "untasty". Here is a draw I've just battled with GNUCHEss 5.
