Opening practice

I would like to work on openings. I have a Mac computer and have not been able to find a good computer program to work on this. Any good suggestions?

 haha, that's funny... I love the smell of jealousy in the morning... :)

well macs are garbage, so i'm not sure what you can do.

i'd try google if no one here can help you.

I dont have a mac, yet atleast, but found this one with google:

I have also planned to purchase a mac laptop, so I am very interested in knowing if this program is any good?

 You will probably need to use something like Parallels or VMware Fusion. But I suggest Chess Position Trainer.

there are a lot of cheap cd's you can get from chess fedration under $30.00 that can get you started, then as you progress you might try the local library.

I use chess.com, books, and a chessboard to work on my openings.

Yes. Chess position trainer is well reported on and a freebie to boot!

I think that the Mac vs PC debate should be kept off this site. In my opinion, Macs are just fine...

Besides, the built in chess program in Mac OS X beats the built in chess program in Windows Vista!

Thanks to all. I will keep you posted on the sigma chess program....

who gives a f.... what computer you have.  We all play chess at the end of the day.  Peace out

Laura, yo uso libros de ajedrez; que aunque son muy aburridos el cequir las instrucciones, cuando los leo mi juego tiende a mejorar.  No sé como se usa el entrenadoer virtual aqui todavia.

Hmm my roommate has mac too, I thought he uses scid?
