is there a chess software/program where I can play both black and white so i can analyze it?

Question

thx, oh and if the program called Arena does it, can u please tell me how to? thanks

Answer 1

Yes, you can try programs such as:
Chessmaster 9, Chessmaster 10
Hiarcs/Fritz 8
Nimzo 8

They all allow you to turn off the engine for you to play out a game, or play the game between yourself and let the program analyze the best moves, threats, etc.

Answer 2

Most chess programs have an option for two player play. That would seem to fit the bill for what you want to do.

Answer 3

I usually set up a traditional board and pieces and analyze that way.

It builds up the mind more than letting a computer figure it all out for you.

And you can also claim credit for the annotations ;)
