[comp.sys.mac] Mac Chess programs/tutors

I am planning on buying a Mac chess game soon (EXTREMELY soon, if possible)
for my wife, who is trapped at home recuperating from some surgery.  She
doesn't know much about playing chess beyond the basics.  I would like
to know two things:

1)  What is the best Mac chess program (not from the playing point of view,
since we're not that good, but graphics/interface/able to be beaten by a
novice)?

2)  Do any Mac chess programs come with a built-in tutor, not merely to help
with how pieces move, but to help the user learn how to play chess better?

I'd appreciate any answers.  Please reply; I'll summarize the replies for the
net.
