[comp.sys.mac.apps] What chess games work on an LC?

pollak@ac.dal.ca (04/23/91)

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I need to
buy someone a gift this week.

Which chess game is the best or will work on an LC?
I've heard that Sargon IV bombs the LC.  What about Chessmaster?

Thanks for any help.

I've used Chessmaster on an SE.  It is one of the buggiest pieces of 
commercial software I've laid eyes on.  One menu item (load custom chess set) 
causes an immediate crash.  Others have had similar problems, so it's not just
me.

Avoid, avoid.
