1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about iChess in our search results, so it is unclear whether the developer is still actively maintaining this app or whether a native Apple Silicon build has been released. Given that you are using it today, the most reliable way to confirm its status is to contact the developer directly — ask whether they ship a native build for Apple Silicon Macs and whether they plan to do so before macOS 28 arrives in September 2028. If the developer is no longer supporting iChess, be aware that the Intel-only build will stop launching entirely once Apple removes Rosetta 2 on that date. In the meantime, as alternative chess apps with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider Chess.com (available on the Mac App Store), Lichess (free, open-source, available on the App Store and at lichess.org), or Chessmaster (if you can find a recent native version). All of these are actively maintained and run natively on M-series Macs.
