CM9k is still under development apparently.. http://www.feralinteractive.com/?game=chessmaster9k&language=english§ion= They have such good timing-- let's wait until 10th edition is released before we do 9k for the mac and wonder why no one buys it. ANYWAY, Mac chess software: Commercial: Ruffian 2.1 is available as an unsupported "bonus"-- it is an xboard engine SigmaChess has a nice carbon interface Vecktor 3 has a very nice interface; I believe they are using crafty internally BigBangChess which is more a kid's interface.. the engine is really weak. Free: Xboard, if you have X11 installed-- with this, you get every engine that you care to port (and a lot of them will compile with no hassles) Engines that I currently have running on my machine are crafty, fruit, tscp, GES, ruffian and probably some other ones that I have forgot about. For playing online: Chessic 2.0 (ICC, FICS) Fixation 2.1 (ICC, FICS) Jin (ICC, FICS) Ignatius (ICC (I am the author)) On September 02, 2004 at 22:59:00, Roy Brunjes wrote: >I have a friend who wants to play chess against his PowerBook G4 Macintosh >running OS X.3 (Panther).
