GnuChessMac 4.0 is a free chess game for the Macintosh derived from
GNU Chess 4.0 available on other platforms. It is distributed under
a GNU Public License.

Version 4.0 was ported by Dan Oetting (oetting@gldfs.cr.usgs.gov)
assisted by Tom Gerardy (tomg@whacked.com) and Erich Oetting
(erich_oetting@stortek.com). Dan started with GNU Chess 4.0 but made
many changes to the search routines, openings and transposition table.
The Mac interface is based on the version 3.0 Mac port done by Airy Andre.

The version released by Dan Oetting was identified as 4.0b5. This
release (4.0) is by Rolf Exner (r.exner@trl.oz.au) and adds Apple Event
support, move output in standard algebraic notation, and minor tweaks to
the window sizes and positions and the command keys. The Apple Event
support allows GnuChessMac to be used as a chess engine by programs
such as ExaChess and ExaChess Lite.
