There are so many good computer chess programs, test suites, engines, opening books, and utilities out there. Finding them is sometimes hard. Links are frequently dead-ends or the program is so old, the link is no longer valid. I've uploaded some of the common or hard-to-find programs, test suites, etc., to my chess club's public download section, which will not be disappearing any time soon. Message me (or post it here) if you think something belongs up there. I'd hate for us to lose access to a good program, just because it didn't have a home.
Cheers,

Thanks!
In Engines section, I would include Laser 1.7
In Apps section, Cutechess GUI and Winboard should be included.
In Opening Books, I would include Sedat's Top50, Top100, etc.

Good suggestions. I've added CuteChess and Winboard. Are Sedat's "Top50, Top 100, etc." books different than his Balsa Top 50, etc., (which have already been uploaded to this repository)?

I can't find these suites on his website. I share them, in case you want to check them out:
