  Probably HIARCS, mainly because it and Rebel Decade are the only

  Well, that depends on what I'm doing. I have over a dozen Mac chess-playing
  programs. The three I use most are:

    - HIARCS Mac
          - because it is by far the strongest Mac chess program
          - because it will display three variations in "monitor mode"
          - because it will display its opening book
          - because I can copy the PV to the clipboard with "Text Capture"
    - Mac Chess 5.01
          - because I can copy/paste EPD/PGN to/from it
          - because it launches very quickly
          - because it displays it's PV nicely
          - because I can easily copy the PV from it
    - Sigma Chess 4.02 Lite
          - because it is really good at finding all the mates in a position
          - because the interface is gorgeous

   Only chess program I played came with the system - not very memorable.
