why isnt chess working macos

Ive been using chess for long time and just recently it’s stopped working all it does when I open the application is immediately go to full screen, wait approx 3 seconds while showing the rainbow wheel then quitting and giving me a notification that it has unexpectedly crashed/quit.


I tried shutting down and restarting but it hasn’t worked

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.4

Select then copy the following line…

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

then, while in the Finder press command shift G

Paste into the window that opens then press return

Delete the com.apple.Chess.plist file


See if Chess opens normally.
