Did you download in binary mode?  If you did, and expanded it correctly
(un-binhexed it, then un-compacted it) you should have seen a "README"
file, and 3 directories: "DOCUMENTATION", "Gnu Chess for the Mac", and
"Gnu Chess Source".

The executable is in "Gnu Chess for the Mac".  You may also compile this
yourself with the (included) source code, using ThinkC.

It's an old and buggy port- the GNU Project doesn't support Apple and
they had nothing to do with it..  But that's another story.  Your
alternatives appear to be as follows:

1) Buy a weak commercial program (ChessMaster3000, Zarkov, etc.)  The
strongest commercial programs are only out for PC.
2) Wait for the (forthcoming) port of linux and compile the latest
version on that.

Yes, there are a few other options..  But..  Hope this helps.
