Alternatives to Chessbase on OSX

Hello everyone!

 

I am going to purchasing a DVD by GM Nigel Davies on playing the Accelerated Dragon. 

 

However, according to the system requirements, the ChessBase software is a must. This is a brick wall to my daydream as I use Mac OS.

 

Is anyone aware of an alternative software that is similar to ChessBase and compatible with Mac OS that could possibly run the DVD in question and function similarly to CB? I have encountered programs such as SCID, but will they run the DVD? Is it possible to run the same on maybe ChessBase installed on Android?

 

Thank you very much!

Rahkeid,

 

Your best best to either use https://www.parallels.com/ or use https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads to run Windows with ChessBase.

Joey,

 

Thank you for the suggestion. Mostly, I won't be installing the engines that come with it so hopefully it won't wreck my system too much!

 

Cheers and have a nice day,

Your best bet is to buy a second-hand cheap Windows laptop off Craigslsit and use it for Chessbase.
