Hello chamath27,

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are having an issue with using an app on your MacBook Pro. You can figure out if unexpected behavior is related to a user file or setting by trying to reproduce the issue from another user account. This process includes creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.

Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

Next, see the info in this Apple resource to determine if the app or something else is causing this issue:

Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures

Cheers!

Use apppolice.app and adjust the resources your chess engine uses,, problem solved..
