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 12/24/2004 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.
