Free chess programs links collected by Pete Galati. This information was formerly found at http://users.nbci.com/avochess until the wizards at NBCi summarily pulled the site. Thanks to Pete for passing along the links. Links were tested Saturday, December 29, 2012 and 404s removed. Please report broken links.
Update: Pete passed away March 23, 2008. He was a good friend I never met in person, and I'll miss him.
