Reviewed by: CNET staff on October 14, 2009

Beware, after playing just one game of Moraff's "MahJongg 2009," you'll find yourself eager to come back and play more. We just wish the trial period lasted longer.

The user interface is colorful, easy to navigate, and offers users a few extra features. Prominent menu buttons reside at the top of the window, and allow you to choose from different game designs, and apply game settings, such as the number of matches, and tile-set displays. There also are buttons to undo and redo moves. In terms of extras, you'll find a radio that plays soothing music to get you in the mood to play mah-jongg, and almost the entire user interface, down to the cursor, is customizable. The game tiles are bright and colorful without being too busy. If you're new to the game of mah-jongg, an extensive Help menu will have you up and playing in no time. We jumped right in, clicking the tiles to make matches, and we liked the score and ranking information that appeared after the game was over.

The one downside to the program is its 14-use trial, which is pretty stingy. But it's still plenty of time for experienced and novice users alike to become highly addicted to this well-designed version of mah-jongg.

Options let you select different layouts, get hints, undo wrong moves, play timed games, and track statistics. Digital sound effects and soothing background music add to the fun.

Reviewed by: CNET staff on October 12, 2009

100% Free Chess Board Game for Windows provides users with challenging chess matches and also works as a teacher. This program's helpful tutorials and easy game play will make users of all skill levels happy.

We had an easy time navigating through the program's cartoonish interface, thanks to its well-labeled command buttons and onscreen instruction. The Help file comes to users as an excellent text-based tutorial, which explains rules and strategy. We liked the program's cast of opponents, whose skill level is noted next to their animated image, because each proved to offer different strategies and ability on the chessboard. There is an opponent for every user's skill level. Users click and drag their pieces across the chessboard with the help of a guide that highlights all possible moves. This characteristic allowed us to quickly make decisions and know each piece's limitations. When we needed more strategic guidance, the program's coaching feature came to the rescue. The Hint button provided us with advice on our next move and the logic behind it, which is a great way to develop a firm understanding of chess.

100% Free Chess is a freeware program. It bundles applications upon installation without asking permission. With its simple play and multiple skill levels, we recommend it for all chess enthusiasts.
