Chess is an exciting game played by many. Aside from being the world’s most popular board game, chess tests one’s mental concentration and confidence. In the game, you are the supreme commander of your own army. If you did mistakes, there’s nothing to blame but yourself. Every move has an important role to play in winning the game. A wrong move can easily change the flow of the game even the previous moves were excellent. These days, the traditional on board chess game has lost its demand due to certain changes in technology. Since then, players opt to play chess using computers and electronic devices.

Today, more and more people are playing their favorite board game on the online community. Because of the unstoppable enhancements, versions of chess games can come up with different interfaces. Some versions feature two dimensional graphics and some are using the latest 3D technology. More often, game sites offer computer chess freeware which can easily download and install to computers. Actually there are two ways to install chess games on PC. One is by purchasing game installer on the high store or in the retail store. But since it is easier to access on the internet, it’s always advisable to download it directly from the web. Besides, there’s no need to buy such installer simply because it is absolutely and completely for FREE.

One of the popular computer chess freeware is the Real Chess. This game features 3D game interface. It can be connected via LAN or via Internet. This game is perfect for players of different skill level, for beginners and advanced players. Real Chess also features tutorials and game analysis. Aside from real chess there are many other chess freeware to choose from like Battle chess, Blitz chess, Grandmaster chess, Bullet chess, Fritz chess and Space chess. There are also chess versions for kids. These include Disney’s Aladdin Adventures chess and Lord of Chess.

On the other side, there are chess game sites that offer game servers to connect and play with other players from different parts of the world. Most game servers charge a small amount and require membership. But then, there are also chess servers that offer services for free. These include chessgames and FICS (Free Internet Chess Server). As expected the player is allowed to have a conversation with his or her opponent. Some game servers are Java enabled wherein the player is required to download game interface first before getting an access to the game. But since issues of cheating and bad manners of some player are from most Java interface sites, it is not advisable to use these for playing. Besides, downloading additional interface can only consume most of the time.

Playing chess is not that difficult nowadays. Only then, it requires computer and internet connection for a player to play such games. Another problem is searching for game sites to download game. Not all sites are reliable. That’s why it is always advised to play on genuine sites. For freeware, Gametop, flyordie and playsite are some of the popular. But for game servers, FICS, chessmaniac and ICC are some of the hybrid sites to play with.
