Delfi is a software suite composed of three programs to help your training in chess.
The current version is 5.4, dual core processors are now supported.
Delfi Trainer is a chess engine for Fritz, Shredder, Arena and Winboard. Its main feature is to emulate an amateur human player, in the range 1000..2300 ELO. The level is independent on the CPU speed.
Chess on a PC monitor? I always considered it a problem. 2D diagrams are fine of course, by the way when I return to the real chessboard i get confused. 3D views are useless for me, the perspective disturbs instead of helping. For this reason I have developed a "2.5D" chessboard. Screenshots.
This program trains you on test positions like combinations, opening lines and endgame studies. It supports the PGN and EPD standards, so you may use it with your favourite positions and games. Screenshots.
