Note: Graphical interfaces for chess servers are only listed on the Online Chess page, unless they have additional off-line features. Software for e-mail chess is on the Correspondence page.

Diagram Utilities & Chess Fonts

EPD2Diag - Popular diagram utility from the Rebel people, with lots of features. There is a simplified online version in javascript here if you just need a quick diagram (must have a chess font installed).


PGN / Chessfile -- Viewers/Editors

WinBoard / XBoard - Tim Mann's great freeware program works as a PGN viewer/editor, a graphical interface to chess engines like Crafty, and as an online interface for the chess servers. A must! Check out Ed Collins' Winboard Tribute Page. [Windows, UNIX]
