Or perhaps get GNU Chess 3.0 ported over.  COME ON YOU C HACKERS, get it
up! :-).

Seriously, GNU Chess is pretty portable C.  I did talk to (someone) who
did a port of 1.xx, and found it pretty easy, BUT didn't have the time
to do either a 'mac-like' user interface or do 3.0.

SO, someone who's got time, a C compiler, and energy: WE'D LOVE IT!

	thanks,
