I've just got myself an Amiga 500 computer and am looking for a good chess game for it. I'm a so-so player, so I need one that can play both below me and beat me so that I can learn and move up. Also, I would like it to be able to multi-task on the amiga so I can run other programs while the computer thinks about its move. I'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions. -- Mark E.

I think it may have a later version than the one I have but I bought mine three years ago. The only problem that I found was that I couldn't get back to the other screens i.e. running a terminal program whatever. To overcome this I started using Machii which provides a LEFT-AMIGA-M key which cycles screens. Chessmaster has a number of levels which should cater for most players.
