MacChess is a solid Classic Mac OS chess program written by Wim van Beusekom and first released in 1996. Distributed as shareware in both English and Dutch language editions, it became a popular choice on 68k and early PowerPC Macintoshes for casual and serious chess play alike.
Engine and Play
MacChess provides a complete chess implementation with adjustable difficulty, suitable for practice as well as full matches against the computer.
Localization
The program ships in parallel English and Dutch builds, reflecting van Beusekom's roots in the Dutch Macintosh community and broadening its appeal across European users.
