Chess 3D
Chess 3D is a chess-playing application that presents the classic board game in a three-dimensional visual environment. It allows users to play chess against the computer at varying difficulty levels or with other human players. The app provides a 3D-rendered chessboard with piece animations and a graphical interface for selecting moves. It is intended for casual chess players and enthusiasts who enjoy the aesthetic appeal of 3D-rendered chess gameplay alongside standard rule enforcement.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about Chess 3D's native Apple Silicon status. The bundle ID suggests this is an indie or smaller publisher game. To determine whether a native build exists or is planned, contact the developer directly — particularly important given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), when Intel-only apps will stop launching entirely. If the developer indicates no native build is planned, consider moving to one of the many actively maintained chess apps that run natively on Apple Silicon, such as Chess.com (available on the Mac App Store), Lichess (free, web-based), or Chess.app from Apple itself (included with macOS). For a similar 3D chess experience with confirmed native support, look at Chess Ultra on the Mac App Store, which delivers comparable graphics and gameplay with full Apple Silicon compatibility.
