I have recently been trying to improve my chess game. There is no tutorial chess software for os X that is any good. Chessmaster 9000 I heard is being ported, but when?
I have been trying chess mentor on windows and like it, but they say no port will be done.
Any way of influencing them?

The built-in chess game is INSANELY good. I'm a decent player, but I've never beat it either.

To the best of my knowledge there is no "professional" chess software available for OS X at the moment.

Have a look at Vector3.

It rocks.
