About Stockfish for Mac
Stockfish for Mac puts the Stockfish engine behind a graphical chessboard. Play over-the-board games between two people, or let the engine evaluate any position with best-move arrows and multiple principal variations.
It opens and saves multi-game PGN files, accepts pasted FEN positions, and can drive other UCI engines. The app is distributed free through the Mac App Store; the GitHub repository holds its GPL-licensed source.
