I use it as the opponent in solving chess puzzles. It works for that purpose but I have yet to figure out fully what the analysis means. The free chesslab.com/positionsearch.html is online and is much more user friendly and intuitive. That analyzer clearly shows the best move for each side after you select the move you want for either side. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A very challenging chess opponent, and a very good chess teacher. *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2015* Chess King 2 is a very good all-around computer chess program that I discovered a couple of years ago during my search for an affordable, easy to use, and comprehensive modern chess software package. At the time, it fulfilled my desire to improve my distinctly average chess-playing skills better than any program I had ever used before. Here is a chess app that contains the Houdini 2 chess engine - still considered one of the better engines on the market today - and a host of other features that make learning and playing computer chess easier and more fun than ever before.Chess King 2 is easy to learn and use, a very challenging chess opponent, and a very good chess teacher. It allows me to play "rated" games against the Houdini 2 chess engine. Games can be set at varying difficulty levels ranging from USCF rating of 800 (beginner) to approximately 2,800 (grandmaster). To date, I have never won a game against the Houdini chess engine. Chess King 2 can also be played in what's termed "fun mode," where the Houdini chess engine is not active. In this mode, I've actually managed to win a few games, although only with some difficulty.Chess King 2 contains a large variety of chess puzzles that I have found very enjoyable and helpful to me in improving my game. Puzzles range in difficulty level from beginning to grandmaster.When I first purchased Chess King 2, I was running an older laptop computer with a single core processor, running Windows 7. The program worked flawlessly on this computer, and continued to do so when I installed it on a new laptop with a quad-core processor running Windows 8.1. Although Chess King 2 does tend to run somewhat slower on my new machine, it shows no compatibility issues with the Windows 8.1 operating system.I have two (very minor) gripes with Chess King 2:1.) I wish they had made the chess board and pieces a bit larger. Even on my 15.6-inch laptop display, the board and pieces seem a bit small, cramped, and difficult for me to see. UPDATE: I recently discovered an option that solves this problem: checking the “Hide Engine” box on the Analysis page hides the engine and user profile panels, causing the chessboard to expand to a much larger and easier to see size.2.) It would be nice if Chess King 2 had provided even a basic user's guide or help files with the installation disc. UPDATE: In 2015, Chess King published an outstanding 339-page user’s manual that was written noted by chess writer Steve Lopez. This book can be downloaded in .pdf format for free at the Chess King web site.Since I purchased Chess King 2, my interest in chess has been greatly renewed. I like this program so much that I eventually upgraded it on my new laptop to Chess King 4 Deep, with its expanded chess database and multi-core processor capabilities. Chess King 2 is still going strong on my older laptop, however, where it continues giving me hours of challenging fun, all the while helping me improve my game.
