There are so many chess playing programs/apps out there that ye canna see the wood for the trees so I'd be grateful for any recommendations for one to assist with chess problems. I don't want a solver (that's just lazy!) I do want to be able to set up a position and then play against the AI from that point. Ideally it would be possible to restore the position at the flick of a switch but that's not essential. Windows 10 compatible preferably but I don't mind running something else on a VM if necessary.

Thanks. I wasn't really looking to buy anything as it literally is just going to be used for a weekly puzzle but ... you know ... it is only 128 days to Christmas!

IIRC it was probably Festive Ale[^], but you were on the right track.

Can't use DosBox cos it's the Windows version so I had to set up an XP VM to look at it. Wow, does XP seem primitive to me now!

A few of my favourites:
SrcChess[^]. Open source, here on CP, plays reasonably well.
SharpChess[^]. Open-source on GitHub[^]. Slightly stronger than SrcChess.
If you're looking for a very strong AI opponent, try the archaic Winboard[^] GUI with the Rybka[^] engine.
