What's the best open source GUI for it?


Arena and Lucas chess are good. I like Lucas for it's simplicity though. And it is fun for my kid to play with. It comes with a tutor option also.

Edit: Not sure if all of these are Open source though. But they are free.


Try 'Scid vs PC' or ChessX. You'll get a good-looking GUI, plus some cool database features.

http://chessx.sourceforge.net/

A cool feature people may not know about - many of these GUIs allow you to play two engines against each other. It's fun to watch two strong programs slug it out. :)


As far as I was able to tell, when I was interested in chess a few months ago, there is no acceptable Mac GUI for Stockfish.


It also works with GNOME Chess.


Google "Scid vs Mac"
