Title says it all, really. I'm after a good chess app for my Mac. One I can play games against and analyse how badly I played :)

Cheers,

Mark

What I use is Hiarcs 12.1 lite with the Sigma Chess 6.1 interface or whatever. Definitely plays better than me, and there's a feature that allows it to analyze the game for a certain amount of time/move...really helps me find my mistakes.

Shredder is also worth a look. It also analyses your games, and graphically shows you where and too what degree your moves were "wrong". It also sugests good alternatives.
