For System 6.x - Mac OS 9

Emulation
This game works with: SheepShaver, Basilisk II, Mini vMac

A very well know chess program for the early Macintosh, Psion Chess sports stunning monochrome 3D graphics (also playable in 2D), animated sliding pieces, and an informative help system, as well as several customizable options. Some have said that Psion Chess was the most difficult computer chess game in its day. This is a must-have for any serious chess player. Once installed, you may never go back to Chessmaster!

Psion Chess won the World Microcomputer Chess Championship in both 1984 and 1987. It is also available for MS-DOS.

Good idea to dig this one out! I recall having been playing the game in the System2 days.
The menue can be set to 6? different languages including German. Psion Chess must have been among the very first games for Macintosh.
