Mac Gamer Gear: Like Chess? Get Jin.

By C.K. Sample, III

The program is a little un-OS X like in its Java-forged interface, but Jin is one of the better chess programs for OS X compatible with both the Internet Chess Club and the Free Internet Chess Server. A new version was released over the weekend, so go grab yourself a copy and get online.

The Free Internet Chess Server is a good place to play games on the cheap, but unfortunately, it is often sparsely populated. If you spend the $50 for a year membership with the Internet Chess Club, you will always find someone willing to play, and if you see cks3 in the list of players seeking a game, I'll be happy to destroy you with my 1337 chess skills. ;-)
