Well, after one heck of a search of local BBS systems, I finally
found something which may pacify all of you who have been looking
for a "non-commercial" chess game for the Mac.

It's called NetChess, and while it's primarily for AppleTalk network
use, it comes with a special configuration file which supposedly
lets you play the game without a network hookup.

Two warnings:

1.  It's shareware, not freeware.  Sorry, this was all I could find.
    (I am still looking.)

2.  Since I don't know the game of chess, I can't say how well the
    game works overall.  (I got it only because others have asked
    for it.)

In about two minutes I'm going to shuttle a copy off to the sumex/
INFO-MAC archives, so you'll all be able to get it.

Hope this helps,
