Chessmaster Challenge

I can't pan it, but I don't much care for it.

Pros: Solid, basic tutorials for the beginner. The interface is clean. Hints, blunder alerts, undos are nice for the beginning player - as is the "chess coach" that highlights legal moves, danger zones, and so forth.

Cons: Time controls are extremly limited, and expect to play very slow games against the stronger computer opponents. It doesn't remember preferences or who you last played (so if you are playing a particular opponent, you have to scroll through a list to find them over and over). Not much fun for the intermediate to advanced player.

IrfanView

Version: 3.97

In my toolbox for years!

Pros: I'm a graphic designer ... that is, I live and breathe Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, Maya, etc -- I've been using Irfanview since 1996; I rarely use it's editing features, but for a simple and speedy image (and media) browser it can't be beat. So long as it remains in development, it will remain in my toolkit.

Cons: I would love to see even stronger video support.
