Download and install the wine 2.0 pgk-file from https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html
While installation check the box for experimental 64 bit support. Start the wine app. To activate the 64 support, type in the opened terminal
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg
and follow the configuration process. For testing, download and extract Stockfish for Windows. Move to the stockfish directory and type in the terminal "wine stockfish_8_x64.exe bench"
You can add the wine path for convenience to your .profile. In my case (installed wine just for me and renamed the app to Wine_Devel.app) "export PATH=/Users/max/Applications/Wine_Devel.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin:$PATH"
