One suspects they did not feel they were making enough money to justify the effort of maintaining it. Given the advertising budget of the competition ( Chessmaster 6000 ) and the sales of HIARCS Mac mainly through specialist stores like ICD and GambitSoft, there were definite challenges to getting sales.
