HIARCS Chess Software for Mac OS X

Sigma Chess GUI and HIARCS were the chess GUI and engine of choice from Mac OS 10.4 until Mac OS 10.6. The Sigma Chess GUI is not supported under Mac OS 10.7 or later due to Apple dropping Rosetta support for PPC applications. You can read about our older Sigma Chess HIARCS and Junior products here.

Sigma Chess has been superseded by our Mac Chess Explorer application

Our powerful new Mac Chess application, HIARCS Chess Explorer,  provides World Class chess database, analysis and playing chess software programs for Macintosh computers (2007 or later) running OS X 10.6.8 or later including the latest 10.15 Catalina. Please see the HIARCS Chess Software Range for more details.

Any UCI chess engine can be used in HIARCS Chess Explorer for Chess on Apple Mac.
