Les bonnes décisions viennent de l'expérience, et l'expérience vient des programmes/moteurs gratuits ! Cela réduit la perte de cheveux et la calvitie chronique ! Impressionnant, j'adore

This game is very good, we have to look at it from a different point of view, we have to talk to the chessboard and permeate the strands of hair that fall out as an undeniable form of chronic baldness accumulation. Therefore I would like to express my gratitude and respectful greetings

Gli scacchi sono una conversazione con la scacchiera, a volte con rocce, muri, e può persino essere considerato folle. La nostra macchina ti insegna come ascoltare la perdita di capelli affinché non si verifichi calvizie cronica. Grazie

Este juego es muy interesante y te hace pensar en cómo prevenir la calvicie por la caída del cabello, porque piensas demasiado, no hay cura efectiva y puede llevar a una calvicie crónica. Parece una broma, pero esta es la etapa final del ajedrez. Tenemos que encontrar un buen remedio, gracias

Very cool! I love the FREE PROGRAM. Plus, the free chess machines are awesome! Best regards

What seems like a fairy tale today may become a reality tomorrow. Here we have a fairy tale the day after tomorrow.... It is possible that we can grow hair on our heads that become bald from the thought of chess....we asked for an explanation but satisfying answers did not came.... I hope the dear admin does not delete my comment, because what I am saying is a fact, without intending to offend any party. Thank you

You don't need a DGT Pi, Acid Ape Chess also supports the DGT e-board (via Bluetooth).

Ah, Arasan! Not really abandonware, this is open source freeware, and still in active development. See http://www.arasanchess.org/

The first versions used its own simple GUI under Windows 3.

Version 4 (1995) moved to 32 bit Windows, and also separated the chess engine from the GUI by implementing it as a Winboard engine that can be used with another GUI like WinBoard.

The current Arasan (version 19.2 released november 2016) is a 64-bit UCI beast with multi-CPU support and a rating north of 3000 on the CCRL 40/40 rating list. You can use any GUI you like, including Chessbase, Aquarium or Arena, but it also still has it's own simple GUI, which although somewhat improved over the GUI from the 16-bit version 1.0 looks pretty dated.

Other ways to play against Arasan:

- The Android app Acid Ape Chess comes bundled with a couple of engines, including Arasan, and allows you to select different levels of strength from it.

- If you have money to burn you can also treat yourself to a DGT e-board coupled with a DGT Pi chess clock/computer, which comes with a selection of engines including Arasan, as well as Stockfish. Mind you, a full set like this is likely to set you back around 1000€, and it's almost a year until christmas.
