At least if the aim is just to play chess). Its much cheaper and effective buy a commercial chess program for mac. ( i dont consider buy a windows licence an option. when released you could buy just this gui and add any free engine you want ( mac users lack gui, but not engines)Īrena3.0 + houdini: the 32 bit for windows work quite fine using wine ( i used winebottler), so no "unlicensed windows os" is needed to run on virtualbox.

Try itĬhess explorer: soon to be released, will be the first native gui for mac built by hiarcs ( arguably the strongest engine existing now). Shredderchess: Very good, its commercial (30$) but you can install a free demo that works for 30 days.
