Hello Stefano,

There is an Xboard for the Mac with a bewildering array of features for engine tournaments, settings etc.

With the refinements and features implemented in Winboard/Xboard it hardly matters which protocol your engine eventually suppports as Xboard handles both - Xboard protocol natively and UCI through Polyglot.

The Polyglot handling is transparent to the user so the engine settings etc are done in the gui without the user seeming to interact with Polyglot at all.

Try Xboard for the Mac. You will not regret it.

Later.


Nice marketing speech Smile
But yes, there's not much else one can recommend for Mac OS than Winboard. I think it's the only free GUI that handles tournaments, and both major communication protocols.

With that said, Cute Chess is shaping up to be pretty nice on a Mac:


Once I get tournament support and some GUI polish finished it's going to be good enough for those who like to tinker with bleeding edge stuff.
