I have never tried JOSE. How are the engine operations inferior?Dann Corbit wrote:For online play: Winboard/Xboardmercury wrote:Which free GUI do you prefer and why?

For engine/engine contests and Epd analysis: Arena
For openings study and game preparation: Scid
I also like Jose, but it is not as good at database operations as Scid and the engine operations are inferior to both. However, I think it has the best *looking* GUI. So maybe it wins the beauty award.
I think I would probably like ChessAssistant Light best of all:

Except that I already have the full-on commercial version so I don't use the light version.
