Download the New For Windows Chess Online Multiplayer

If you're considering purchasing a chess engine, you may want to reconsider - powerful free engines are available for download. These engines are primarily designed for training and can be used in various ways, including playing against them, analyzing chess positions, and pitting them against each other. They are ideal for those who seriously want to study the game.

Among the highly ranked engines is Komodo, although you'll need to pay for a subscription to access the latest version (Komodo 9 is free). Houdini also costs €40 for the standard edition. However, I recommend exploring the free and open-source Stockfish engine or its derivatives.

If you're looking for a powerful, customizable computer opponent to aid in your chess studies, a chess engine is the way to go. Stockfish Chess Engine offers online play with a separate account and comes with a good computer opponent built-in. Although it's not as polished as Chess Ultra, and I experienced some crashes during my testing, this free option is worth considering.

For an alternative that won't cost you anything, try Simply Chess - a free-to-play chess game that allows you to play against a powerful AI opponent.
