Chess (chess client)
|
Template:Infobox Software Chess is a chess client for Mac OS X, featuring a very high quality graphical display and support for chess variants such as crazyhouse and suicide chess. It is shipped free with OS X, and source code (http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/misc) is available from Apple's web site.
The Apple Chess front end is a Cocoa application whose drawing code is based on the glChess (http://glchess.sourceforge.net) OpenGL chess client. It communicates with the Sjeng (http://sjeng.org/indexold.html) chess engine which runs in a separate process.
