It stopped working properly when Mac OSX went up to 10.2 and still doesn't work properly under 10.3. (Virtual disk errors - either virtual errors on the disk or errors on the virtual disk, who knows?) Even if it does work you are looking at the chess performance of approximately a Pentium 200MHz. I am sure that Hiarcs on my Palm T3 is better than this. Forget it. Plead and beg Mark Uniacke and Christophe Theron to port Hiarcs and Tiger to OSX to join Crafty, Ruffian and Deep Sjeng. Oh, and there's Gothmog.
