Best pinball and chess games?

For chess I just use the game that came with vista.

I am a HUGE pinball fan and will give you the link to two sites for the most amazing simulators you have ever seen and both are FREE!

My favourite:

futurepinball.com

Also:

vpforums.com

Future Pinball is easily the best pinball simulator around allowing you to build your own tables and has around 300 recreations of real life tables and tons of amazing original creations. The tables are mostly older though due to the lack of ROM support.

Visual Pinball has almost every new table and plenty of recreations of older tables.

You must try both.
