PLAY CHESS AGAINST A COMPUTER
We have five computer programs for you to play against on this site.
There are three Java Chess Programs, Little Chess Partner and Java Chess (both strong) and JESTER (very strong and impressive).
There are also two much weaker JavaScript programs suitable for beginners (although they both have bugs at present).
