I don't get to play these days, so I've not experimented further. We've run into bugs too. If you undo too many moves (cheating, sure) things can get pretty messed up.<BR/><BR/>There are a lot of things in OS X that aren't really documented, much documenting the updates.<BR/><BR/>It is a nice freebie though.

I miss the old, unbeatable, Panther chess. And, yes, there seem to be some bugs in the Tiger version. (I have trouble coaxing the machine to make a move, at times. Clicking on the strength pref slider, either stronger or weaker, forces the move but...)<BR/><BR/>This is just about the only discussion of Tiger chess I can find via google. It's weird that they changed the program without any documentation.<BR/><BR/>At first, I thought it was learning but after playing a dozen games or so, I'm pretty sure it's not.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, please do post again if you learn more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
