Chess is stuck on the most difficult setting after Big Sur update

My Chess is stuck on the most difficult setting; moving the slider makes no difference.

The game also uses the entire computer to play; it gets warm and everything else slows down.

Perhaps playing the game against a computer looking over 250 movers ahead is interesting for a Master, but it's unusable for me.


Just a thought: Apple actually TESTS their updates AND FIXES THE BUGS before issuing the updates.


With Xi's permission, of course.

I'm going to guess since I'm not in BS at the moment, that this file is locked or corrupt...


~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Chess/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Chess.plist


~ tilde indicates hidden Local Library

Apple hid the Users' Library folders...


Method 1:

  1. From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.
  2. In the window that opens, enter ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Chess/Data/Library/Preferences, and click Go.
