Penguin is a PGN viewer / reader / editor and desktop board software for the review and analysis of games of Chess.

It is a freeware program for Windows, and can be downloaded from this web page.

Penguin can interface with UCI chess engines to analyse game positions. It also contains a database of opening positions from the world's premier tournaments to enable you to explore the most popular lines of opening play.

Use Penguin to

• Store and replay your games and the games of the professionals.
• Launch a quick chess board from your desktop.
• Analyse game positions with the help of a UCI game engine and identify the best sequence of moves.

My objective was to create a compact, non-commercial product that could stand alongside the existing editors and offer some original functionality. I hope that you will find it an enjoyable and useful product and that it will help you improve your skill at Chess.

Download Penguin v17.3 ( portable )

Under Windows 11 you might get an error message that says that CTL3D32.DLL is not correct or cannot be found.

For many years CTL3D32.DLL has been a Windows system file. But a recent update for Windows 11 removed this DLL. Microsoft announced some time ago that this file would be deprecated. Now Windows 11 will display a 'missing CTL3D32.DLL' whenever you try to run an application that relies on this DLL.

The DLL will need to be restored, back into directory C:\Windows\SysWOW64. A copy of the DLL might possibly be found in a directory of the form C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-ctl3d32_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. If it is there ( or somewhere else in the C:\Windows subdirectories ) copy it to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and see if that works. If that doesn't work then you might need a different CTL3D32.DLL file. You will need to search and find one online. If that one still doesn't work contact me and I will try to help.

Penguin can interface with chess engines that support the Universal Chess Interface ( UCI ) protocol.

Chess engines are stand alone executables that form the computational core of a chess playing program. They can analyse game positions and suggest best moves. If an engine supports multi best line analysis then the relative strengths of different moves can also be obtained.

64 Bit Engines.  Many chess engines come in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, but only 64-bit engines will work on a 64-bit computer.

No UCI engine comes packaged with Penguin. Users will need to download their own. There are many UCI engines available for download and most will require no special configuration or setup. Penguin is not a chess playing tool ( i.e. human vs. computer ) but a tool for game analysis, so not all engines will be suitable for use with Penguin.

The following UCI chess engines ( all 32-bit ) work well and require no configuration. Try these first.

• Critter 1.2
• Fruit 2.3.1
• Gambit Fruit 1.0 Beta 4bx
• Houdini 1.5a w32
• Rybka 2.3.2a mp 32-bit
• Stockfish 2.1.1 JA
• Toga II 2.0 SE
