If you are a beginner, I would recommend ChessMaster 10.
It has "computer personalities" of different strengths, so you can always set the computer to play at the level that is suitable for you. It also has an "academy" with very good lectures on chess playing tactics, strategies, quizzes and diagnostic tests. There is also a database of some of the great games, some of them annotated.
If you are not an absolute beginner, Fritz might be a better bet, with its "friend mode" and "sparring mode".

Chesmayne Chess Dictionary: as usual - the best is FREE!
http://homepage.eircom.net/~reidr1/index...
Question: which is the best PC game.
Answer: please see the 'COMPUTER' section above - just click on the link?
PRINT any chess set & board in the world in under two minutes! Why not try playing on an 8 x 10 chess board instead of the usual 8 x 8?
50+ orthodox chess sets are now available - Western, Chinese, Korean, Burmese, Thai, Mongolian, Cambodian, Shatranj, Tori-Shogi 7x7, Shogi 9x9, Draughts/Checkers etc. You can also make/create your own chess board if you like? Go-to the 'Forum' for examples?
Many types of 8 x 8 board - colour coded for easy identification - including blockers! Why not try using an 8x8 board where the pawns promote on the 2nd and 7th ranks - squares are colour coded in purple for easy recognition?
A 'BLANK GHOST CHESS SET' is also available in the FORUM: allows you to invent your own chess pieces! All pieces are large/small triangles and useable on any board! Each piece is simply identified by a monogram and number ie, PA1, PA2, PA3, QU1, BS1, KT1, RO1 etc - simple and easy! Play Chinese & Japanese chess - no more hieroglyphics to deal with - become a global chess player?
TOOLS REQUIRED: a sharp scissors, a glue stick and small coins to act as weights.
Extensive global chess dictionary.

Just about all PC chess games have a learner mode, or at least a "help" button that will suggest moves. If you can get your hands on any version of Battle chess or National Lampoon's "Chess Maniacs 5 Million and 1" buy both of them! Both of these games are so much fun with so many variations that you want to keep playing!
