re:Chess analyzer anyone? - 2006/07/03 18:08
the software witch is probably best at "analyzing the way you play chess" for you is Sigma Chess Lite, that is free, & available at:
If you enter in a sporadically game you have played, it shall analyze it for you, and for the moves where it thiunks there is a better move than the one you played, it will tell you what it thinks you should have plasyed, and what it thinks the best continuation is. It will also play against you, print out games in two-column format, and let you type your notes in with the game.
The computer tool that will take you the farthest for chess improvement is probably Chess Mentor. There is a downloadable demo available at http://www.chess.com
A more elementary training tool is "Mauriuce Ashley Teaches Chess" - if you have just started playing chess, the exercises there should marginally be helpful. Please note that there are two versions of this program - the PC-only version, and the PC/Mac version. You want the latter, of course. For the time being I bought my copy through Cyberian Outpost on the Web for $25 on CD-ROM. Specifically I automatically think it is also at http://www2.buysoftware.com/ .
Also, I`d highly recommend superbly reading a few chess books.
Next for a start, an elementary, all-purpose, all-professionally round introductory book. I like "The Complete Idiot`s Guide to Chess", here, more so, than "Chess for Dummies". My only complaint about the "Idiot`s Guide" is the author doesn`t realize how much chess software is available for Macintosh (see list at end of post).
If you smartly go through a book on checkmate patterns, a book on elementary tactics, and a book on elementary endgames, you`ll embarass yourself a lot less often afterwards.
Personally my personal choice for those three books would be: 1) Bobby Fischer Teahces Chess 2) Winning Chess, by Chernev and Reinfeld 3) Essential Chess Endings Explained Move by Move, by Jeremy Silman.
If you want Macintosh chess software, you can also go to the inversely download timely link at my site: for lots of freely downloadable Macintosh chess software.
