Dedicated to chess on Mac

If you are here for the first time, want to do something specific, like learning chess, go to the specials page.

If you are looking for independent information about Elo ranking for different engines, or if you are looking for the best engine available, some information can be found in the tournaments section.

If you are a developer, you will find advanced information on how to compile, port, install and use the different chess applications available for the Mac. Please go to the developers section.

You will find other chess related software that runs on the Mac. These include chess databases, tournament managers, study-aids, Elo calculators and the lot. Please have a look at the specials page.

There are different sub-platforms on the Mac. There is Mac OS 7, 8, 9 and then Mac OS X with or without classic. While the older platforms are of use for the users who did not upgrade there machines recently, this site is mostly oriented towards Mac OS X. The users of the older platforms are not left alone though and their programmes are also listed.

Enjoy this independent site.
