PairFX is a chess pairing program specialized for youth tournaments in schools and chess clubs . No installation required! Just Unzip it and go! I created a free online/mobile version as well : https://oks.myvcc.be/pairfx-live/ (You can run any kind of tournament with it actually but it was written for chess in schools) It supports the organization of a so-called 'run through' tournament and round robin (everybody against everybody) tournaments Swiss pairings are not (yet) possible. Are you a chess teacher at school, or organize a separate tournament at the club? Try PairFX! The run through pairing system makes it possible for player to come and go whenever they want and also to keep players playing all the time. It is not round based , so not everybody has to be finished to allow new pairings to be made. This is really great when players play at different speed and works very well in the club or at school.

Program to train against gambit play (*) with the computer, with a strength adjustable chess engine (Danasah, currently set at approx 1400 EL0 when playing against it). Also included now are two options to watch an engine e.g. the 'aggressive' Patricia5 (with gambits) play against another engine (eg IM level). The engine gambit books are made in such a way that 1) real lousy gambits are not played, and 2) the book is choosing a gambit line as often as possible, so for Black it might go for e.g. a Benko gambit or so and if you let it play with White, a lot of 1.e4 gambits can be played. Thereby, if you try a gambit yourself, the program might try to a counter-gambit (or sometimes an unconventional line). It will play weak against other engines, and it not meant as to play very strong/perfectly, but for human opponents, the gambit lines will most often result in entertaining -not boring- games, and require quite some concentration to avoid tactical mistakes.
