Hi Swami,
There is "PAX" (the author is Len Dorfman), it comes also with it's own GUI (rather weak program). It can be found here
There are a lot more, but I don't have links for them and I didn't google:
Mephisto Meisterschach (a Nimzo version) Mephisto Schachmeister (i don't have it but I think it was an early Shredder version) "Schach dem Schweinehund" (a Nimzo version with funny cartoon dog) USCF Chess (included a Windows version of the Tasc Tutor) Power Chess (built around a Wchess engine, with talking queen) Chessica (a Fritz/Quest version, I think for Win 3.1)
Well there is also SMIRF for 8x8 Chess and Chess960. But there are 10x8 Capablanca Chess board aware chessprograms, too: SMIRF, ChessV and Gothic Vortex. SMIRF and ChessV are supporting several Chess variants.

All these are commercial programs, and stand-alone.
BTW,Kasparov's Gambit chess engine is....Ruffian
_No one can hit as hard as life.But it ain’t about how hard you can hit.It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.How much you can take and keep moving forward….
You are well informed! But you mean Kasparov Chessmate (c) Hexacto, 2003. Kasparov's Gambit is (c) Electronic Arts, 1993. It was similar to Socrates, also by Don Dailey and Larry Kaufman. The working title was "Titan."
(Kasparov has lent his name to at least one more chess program but I forgot it's name.)

I had a Kasparov dedicated chess computer many years ago (stolen from me in a burglary). I can't remember any details or the name of the company.
