Hi there - in-line with some of the other threads, I've noticed that the Chess programme on Apple Mac seems to be starting from a much higher baseline since 'Big Sur' was introduced. Not really suitable for a beginning anymore even at the baseline setting. Does a legacy version exist at all?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Yours is not the first complaint I have heard about the Chess.app
There is no stand alone Chess.app to download, since it comes baked into the macOS as a package.
You can revert to your previous macOS if it suits you better.

Not that runs in Big Sur.
Thanks dialabrain (noted above my OS has been picked up at 10.15, but I have 11.4 listed under 'about this Mac' - not sure if linked)
Thanks Leroydouglas - probably a step too far for the one application, but useful to know
Are there issues with Chess on Mac OS Big Sur?
