I don't have any chess software. That's why I was asking for an online source.

This is Winboard or Xboard or whatever you need. I hear some users use 'Chesspad'. I don't, but perhaps someone will talk you into it.
Alt+V to paste a game
Alt+C to copy back out if you like.
F2 flips the board.
Use your arrows left and right to move forward, and you can even type moves like Nxf4
etc... Cool tool.
Hey, I downloaded Chessbaselight, pasted in the game, and played it out! This is probably old hat to you veterans of computer chess land, but it's a first for me. Thanks for all your help.

Now create a database of all your games that you store in CB Light. You can also gather the games of your opponents (this process is quite laborious at RHP--one of a few things that other correspondence sites do much better), and you can create databases of master players and selected openings.
The 8000 game limit per database in CB Light will limit its utility when you get into serious research, but as you learn to use it, you'll begin to understand why folks happily shell out $150 USD for ChessBase 9.

Well, what are some "decent ones," and which one is "the easiest way to play it out"?

OK, I've got Chessbaselight, but it's way over my head. Their are a gazillion buttons and what not. It seems to have all sorts of capabilities -- how do I learn how to use this thing? Thanks.

Crafty is an excellent free Winboard engine, get it here: http://cito.atspace.com/crafty.html You can use Arena or Winboard as your interface, they are both good.
