Excellent program - Version: 1.0, 12/31/2007 11:18AM PST

This is an awesome program. It is small, fast and free. This is the cleanest, uncluttered, modern implemenation of Chess for Mac OS X Leopard I have seen.
Big Bang Chess has an awesome interface and iChat support but it plays TERRIBLE. This program on the other side plays very well for its size and speed. It is possible to train 5 minute matches, it answers as fast as a human (at 5 minute matches), or maybe faster and does not raise my Intel Mac CPU cycles to the roof like SigmaChess, GNUChess, BigBangChess master level or any old emulated program.
So far, amazing. It reminds me MacChess and Sargon III, although it is cleaner and simpler. Very Mac. I hope the author keeps it hard work, although the site looks like a startup. I still cannot believe there are so many Chess programs that are slower on my Mac Book Pro than Sargon II (on the Apple II) and play worst, at least this program plays fast and fair.
I would love to be able to resize the window dynamically, fullscreen mode, more colors, custom engine, and an opening book, etc. but not at the expense of speed. For a first release this is an excellent work and it is the only 5-minutes-matches trainer I find fun.
