In the about box of the Chess.app on Panther:

© 2003 Apple Computer, Inc
© 2000 Gian-Carlo Pascutto
© 2002 R. Ancell & M. Duelli


There is also a link to Download Sourcecode in the about Box. When doing this
you get a directory sjeng in the Chess2.0 sources:

"This is the source code for Apple's Chess.app Version 2.0, as shipped
in MacOS X 10.3 "Panther". This project consists of two components:
The Chess engine, "sjeng", and the graphical frontend.

"sjeng", contained in the "sjeng" subdirectory, is distributed under the
terms of the GNU General Public License. See sjeng/COPYING for
details."

The version of Sjeng included is 11.2.
