anyone know of any FREE chess games?

Here's a good one;
www.freewareppc.com/games/chess.shtml
I have it on my X5 and it works great, not as many cool features as the ones you buy though.

There is a certain time and place for spontaneity.

Here's another one I forgot at first;

I gotta learn how to transfer links without having to type them out.

Which one?

Valentin Iliescu Chess 2.0, thats exactly what i wanted, just to play some chess while i wait or traveling

They are both the same chess game. Same developer, version, etc.

  

Great chess game. Now to find a freeware chess game I can play against someone over a network or with bluetooth. And a clock. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Thanks again from a new member.

I used to think Valentin Iliescu Chess was good until I found CEBoard

For multiplayer, try http://www.olmichess.com/ (free) You'll need to register for FICS at www www.freechess.org

If the link doesn't work you can just search google for it. If you (or anyone else) is interested in purchasing a chess game, I'd recommend ChessGenius - it's brilliant. IntelliChess, on the other hand, looked great on the screenshots but I found it far too slow!
