I am not a big chess player, but I will ocassionally play a game
on my Amiga. I am using Chessmaster 2000. Its a full-featured
implementation -- fast, with timers, 2-D or 3-D board, various
setup options, game storage, etc. They even went to the trouble
of adding a "special" feature -- you can quickly display a dummy
spreadsheet screen on your terminal, just in case you need to fool
the wife into thinking that you aren't really ignoring her for a game
of chess!
