Do you have a computer? Then you can throw away your radio and listen to a myriad of online radio stations. You can also throw away your TV and watch TV online – or by fitting your computer with a TV card. You can even through away your old chess board and play chess on your computer.

You will need one other thing apart from a computer to play chess. You are going to need a specialized piece of software, like the Lokasoft-developed application ChessPartner. Novice or experienced, every user out there can get ChessPartner and enjoy a nice game of chess.

- In Teacher mode, click a piece on the chess board and all legal moves are displayed

- Support for the Nalimov endgame table bases
- Read, write and update PGN files
- Game histogram that offers a graphical overview of the scores in the game, making it easy to identify where you made a mistake.
- ChessPartner can speak out the moves it plays.
