Chess database, analysis and game playing program

Visit

The program provides a full‑featured chess environment for macOS, combining a graphical interface with a built‑in chess engine and extensive game databases. Users can manage PGN collections, search and explore opening trees, and access bundled opening books and statistical data for over one hundred thousand games. Integrated analysis tools include blunder detection, Elo rating estimation, and endgame tablebase lookup, while the engine offers adjustable playing strength from beginner to world‑champion levels.

It supports external hardware such as Millennium electronic boards and ChessLink, and can run additional UCI‑compatible engines alongside the included single‑core HIARCS 14 engine. The interface is available in multiple languages, and the package includes a detailed manual and instructional videos.

The software targets players of all skill levels—from novices seeking coaching advice to advanced competitors preparing preparation—by offering a combination of database management, analysis features, and human‑like opponent play within a macOS‑native application.
