WinBoard

WinBoard is a pretty basic chess game that is mainly intended to play games online, using different chess engines. Created by Tim-mann

Free
Windows
Linux

Winboard works more as a graphic front-end for several different chess engines included with the game, as well as for several chess game modes. These include not only player vs player or human vs computer competitions, but also games played online and even by email. WinBoard also lets you save games at any moment and resume them exactly at the same point where you left them, and review previous games as a way to remember good movements or learn new techniques.
