Here are some links I've found useful.  Please do let me know if you know of other interesting sites.

 

Here are some web sites on chess in general - how to play, where to play:

 

FIDE, the World Chess Federation

The United States Chess Federation

Chess.com, where you can play other people from around the world online for free

Bruno's chess problem of the day

132 chess puzzles

 

Good sites on computer chess programs and utilities

 

Arena, a UCI engine GUI interface

Superchessengine, where you can download over a hundred UCI chess engines to try out

Some of the best rated UCI engines

The Computer-Chess wiki has hundreds of UCI engines to try out

WBEC-Ridderkerk, a great computer chess ranking web site, with engine downloads, rating lists and more.

CCRL (Computer Chess Rating Lists) website. Another great computer chess engine ranking web site.

 

Unfortunately, Ziggurat 0.18 ended up on the bottom of the CCRL rating list.  I hope V 0.20 will improve that ranking, and future versions will continue that improvement.

 

 

Good sites on chess programming:

 

Dr. Robert Hyatt's (computer chess guru) home page
