user8683: I'm looking for a good chess program with the following features. The game should

Randomly select whether I take white/black
Allow me to have a handicap against the computer
Have different difficulty levels

Any suggestions?

user-1: Ubisoft's Chessmaster:  Grandmaster Edition fits the bill:
1) Randomisation
This is available as an option in ranked play:

2) Handicaps
Are dealt with in the setup position mode (but unfortunately there isn't a randomised colour option in this part of the software. I would suggest rolling a dice)

3) Difficulty levels
Elo ranges from 0 to 2928 with a range of personalities (attackers, defenders etc.)
