Chess Engines

You probably want Fruit 2.1.
This is a very good engine that beats commercial engines like fritz 8 or
junior on many occasions and is second best to only shredder in many tests.

The strongest free engines are Fruit 2.1 and Toga II 1.0. Bothe are
available for free download from
http://www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/uci-engines.html.

As you can see from the replies, there's many strong free engines.
