Windows 8 Start-menu alternative / Search / Nav
Instantly find your files, apps, and do system things like control panel/reboot/etc which are a big pain in Windows 8.
The Prompt can even be called on top of the full-screen Windows 8 Metro apps that are hard to switch between and nav out of

Chess!

Download either the 'Arena' or 'Tarrasch' GUI.
(Most chess engines do not come with an interface.)
Arena is infinitely configurable, and thus a minor PITA to get started with. Tarrasch has significantly fewer options to hunt down.

http://www.playwitharena.com/


Now find and install an engine.

Grab Stockfish, a longtime resident in the World Top 5 list. (#2 at the moment, I believe.)
https://stockfishchess.org/
or
An older version of Komodo, V7 at the moment.
https://komodochess.com/

Other strong freeware engines include Fire, Gull, Equinox, and others as seen here.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gullchess/files/
etc.

And another Planetarium app.

Cartes Ciel
https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/start

Slow, with a less-than-intuitive interface, but it has gobs of features and is extremely flexible.
