Go Programs
A fun free program is IGO. This is a 9x9 version of the "Many Faces of Go" commercial program. As you win or lose games against it, it keeps a rough estimate of your grade at the top right of the window.
Another interesting program is GoDo!, a DOS program by Ivan Filippenko of about 250K (that's 250 Kbytes, not 250 kyu!), to download.
