There is a downloadable demo linked at the first URL above, but as far as the commercial version, the only place Virtual Chess Mac seems to currently be on sale is in France. The U.S. office claims it will be selling in the U.S. by March 1, but I'll believe that when I see it. > My main concern is not strength : any program will beat me ! >My interest is more on features.

It's a bit pokey on that Mac at the moment, but other than that, it's really aimed at helping you to improve. There's a downloadable Mac demo, too. http://www.chess.com > > Thanks for your ideas. > > Gaetan
