Go up one level in this thread


Since Hiarcs 6 for the Mac is out and if VC 2 for the Mac gets produced,
Mac owners will have access to two of the strongest chess programs on
the market as well as free programs like Crafty and MacChess 4.0 So I
don't see what you have to complain about considering the relative size
of the 2 markets. Bookup for the Mac exists and there are Mac chess
databases as well.
