Advice on computer chess apps - 06/20/14 01:11 AM
What are the best chess programs for a 9 year old to play against and analyse scenarios with based on you or your children's experience?
We have both OS-X and MS Windows based machines here but it does seem at first blush as though the OS-X platform has a dearth of good offerings from what I see.
I have read a little about this and the choices of Fritz, Rybka, Deep Rybka, Shredder and Houdini are just bewildering. DD will have a conflict this Autumn between Chess and Soccer. We are going to give priority to Soccer but the compromise would be a good chess analysis and opponent program...
Any and all help appreciated. TIA,
