I'm with you on the confusion thing. 
I use Valentin Ilescu Chess from http://www.valil.com/chess2/index.html as it's free and I don't feel I'm good enough at the game to warrant paying for something that I'll never win anyway.

I agree with the post above. Also this costs $14.95. It seem a lot for what it is.

Though not for PPC...
Battle Chess for PC is a fun way to learn how to play chess. :mrgreen:
Original Win 3.1 version (fits on a floppy!)... is free at Underdogs:

I guess I will give this one a try since I own almost every other chess program for the PPC out there. I have to say that I would love Battle Chess for the PPC.

I had to reply when I say the mention of BattleChess. That's how I learned to play YEARS ago. I thing it was on an 8088 or whatever came next. I remember it was commodore type graphics with only about 16 colors on the monitor.
Now I need to go look for an updated version. Highly recommended. I hope they didnt ruin it by going over the top with gameplay.

If you buy a new iPaq in Europe then you can get it for free with the points inside the box :0)

Oh lord the memories that brings back! My first chess game ever! A distant relative taught me to play and Dad bought this for my birthday. I didn't know you could run this on XP. I have my original floppy.
