Can anyone point me at a URL for a Mac OS X front-end chess-board handler to put in front of lc0?

xBoard - it works great.
You can get a preconfigured app bundle or compile yourself.

Hi.
I've installed the Xboard dmg disk image and it is running.
What are the methods for setting it to run lc0?
I set the lc0 directory and executable and played e2e4 but leela/lc0 never plays a move as black.
There is some kind of setting I am missing in xboard?

Paste your lc0 engine settings ( the xboard settings) here and paste a UCI engine setting that is working ( try Stockfish). It may be as simple as needing the -fUCI flag,
Here's my lc0 setting
"/Users/*********/cluster.mfb/lc0" -fd "/Users/*********/cluster.mfb" -fUCI
and I always keep the weights file in the same folder as lc0
