Glad to hear it. I hope that other computer-chess savvy members of this
board are similarly helpful to their Mac owning relatives and friends.

If you want to see more of MacChess (without having a Mac)
check out this site, if you haven't:

MacChess:     http://members.aol.com/macchess/

Also, I think your brother-in-law would enjoy Sigma Chess Lite (freeware),
and that the site below will give you every opportunity to check it out -
it has screenshots of both 2D and 3D boards, menus, the documentation
online as HTML, and the always important download link:

Sigma Chess:  http://users.cybercity.dk/~bst10651/

For screenshots of programs that run on your PC, the page:
http://www.internetchess.com/software.shtml

has quite a few.
