I am STILL living without a chess browser and unable to download chess engines and use them.
Still after all this time. I have never been succesful in getting a fully workable, user friendly chess engine up and working on my computer.
Maybe since i have had it repaired, it will work better now?
What i want is the best carrier and to know how to insert a chess engine into it, and to be able to use all functions (infinite, set up etc), easily. And that i should not be told in the middle of a game that it's time out and i may not continue playing.
Then i would like to put into it the best version of SF or asmfish.
Please can someone post me best link to best chess browser..

Which OS are you using? Windows? Mac? Linux? And how much RAM & processor? And what are your specific means? Need a database? An engine? A PGN browser? A mix of the 3 ?

You could use WinBoard (Windows) / XBoard (Linux, Mac):

From the description he gave of what he wants it to do I gathered he meant a GUI.

If I were you, I would try to get some help from someone with a mind for such things (computers, chess programs). Even if that would be frowned upon a bit in your community, surely there must be someone? Maybe the women are more practical than the men...
I would recommend Shredder, but it is not cheap. If you can't get it to work I don't know anymore...
From a recent thread in this forum:
There is ChessGUI from Matthias Gemuh although it is no longer in active development.
Arasan from Jon Dart has its own GUI http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... ght=arasan At the end of 2016 Sirius Chess GUI is planned http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... torder=asc

From a recent thread in this forum:
You would have thirty days to try this out. It does not have the new Deep Shredder 13 which is rather expensive unfortunately, but a little bit less strong Shredder, and that uses only a single thread (as far as I know):smk wrote:I have just added some more infos to shredderchess.com. Please see here:Krzysztof Grzelak wrote:What's the difference between Shredder Classic 4 a Shredder Classic 5.

There are links to the new features and some screenies.

Of course, in contrast to Shredder, Winboard is totally free. A probably incomplete overview of more GUIs to try, from recent postings: Arena is free. The new CuteChess GUI is an exciting development too: http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... echess+guiThomas Lagershausen wrote:Mr Szots is talking nonsense too.SzG wrote:They have told you everything there was to know.Krzysztof Grzelak wrote:Michael B and Robert Maddox please write about and do not write nonsense.
On this side people can download a 30days trial of the Classic 5 gui:

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Sometimes you must do what is required. So get Arena GUI @ http://www.playwitharena.com/?Download:Arena_3.5.1S.Taylor wrote:I am STILL living without a chess browser and unable to download chess engines and use them.
Still after all this time. I have never been succesful in getting a fully workable, user friendly chess engine up and working on my computer.
Maybe since i have had it repaired, it will work better now?
What i want is the best carrier and to know how to insert a chess engine into it, and to be able to use all functions (infinite, set up etc), easily. And that i should not be told in the middle of a game that it's time out and i may not continue playing.
Then i would like to put into it the best version of SF or asmfish.

After downloading Arena you can download SF from above link and install it in any of the Arena verisons you have downloaded.
