Question
I would like to play chess against a computer. I try to download what seems to be a good chess program, and my McAfee AntiVirus tells me it's not safe! I'm not sure what to do. Can you give me the name of a good safe program?
Hi John - You can find some good chess playing programs here:

Also, programs like Fritz and Chessmaster should work okay.
