Chess App

The chess app (preinstalled) can't load for whatever reason. I have tried force quitting it, restarting, closing all windows, just freezes, loads and dissapears

I would be very helpful if this issue was fixed.

1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

3 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.

4 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then this appears to be a System Wide issue.

Then, please report back if it is still not working as expected.
