The program has it's share of bugs. I wrote to them many months go by filling out the request form on their website - no reply. I tried another tac - I wrote directly to them via email - no response. A few days ago, I again filled out a form on their website with a tech question - no response. I tried again in a couple of days - no response. AVOID THESE PEOPLE AND BUY A PROGRAM THAT IS NOT ONLY MUCH SUPERIOR, BUT IS PRODUCED BY PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS! ### ⭐⭐ Won't work on my Mac at all, even with ... *by C***N on February 3, 2018* Won't work on my Mac at all, even with the CD in place. On my computer, I have 4Gb RAM, ! Tb computer memory, 2.5 Tb on my RAID system. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointed. *by D***L on May 10, 2016* The software is ok. But it was not what I expected. And it is not in the same class as a Chessmaster 9000 or better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3325019-chess-king-4-with-houdini-4-chess-software-for-mac](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3325019-chess-king-4-with-houdini-4-chess-software-for-mac) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
