macOS Chess ported to Windows
Claude Pro was used to reverse engineer the macOS Chess app from its Mach-O binary and port it, with its Sjeng engine, to a Windows exe.

The full story
The maker ported Apple's built-in Chess app to Windows with Claude Pro. A reverse engineering tool was used on the Mach-O binary, along with some of the source Apple published on GitHub. The maker admits they realised halfway through that the published source could have been used fully.
The port uses the same assets as the original, such as textures and models, and the Sjeng chess engine, which also had to be ported to Windows. It is available as a compiled 64-bit Windows exe, with source code.
