It will probably be very basic compared to Arena. I'll probably release the source code under the GPL in the (probably vain) hope that somebody else will contribute code for more advanced features. >- a hole should be filled as historically, there has never been enough Mac chess >software (at the moment, there is just about one of everything which works). Yes. For me, this is the only major problem with MacOS. MacOS does everything else I want to do as well or better than all other platforms, but I really miss all the chess software available for Windows. I hope that more engine authors will port their engines to OSX if/when there is a nice GUI available. >I would like to buy an iBook some day :) The latest iBooks are quite cool machines. I'll probably buy one myself in a year or two, when my PowerBook G4 550MHz begins to feel unbearably slow. Tord
