According to the article, the name of the program is "Mac Hack." But the name of the article is "MacHack (chess)", with no space in "MacHack." Are both versions of the name correct? Is so, this should be stated; if not, the article or its title should be corrected. KarlBunker 14:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Does Image:ChessSet2.jpg have anything to do with MacHack at all? κаллэмакс 17:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Seeing as it has now been established that this, the chess program, is Mac Hack with a space and the conference is MacHack without a space, neither needs parenthetical disambiguators (is that even a word?) I propose that this article is moved to Mac Hack, the conference is moved to MacHack, and redundancy is decreased all around. Furthermore, the move was cutandpaste, which is a bad thing, because it destroys article history. I'll go make a request at WP:RM for everything to be straightened out.

Isn't the program called MACHACK VI? All the sources I know of (Britannica, Computerhistory.org, David Levy's How Computers Play Chess) refer to it as MACHACK VI. Shouldn't the article's name be MACHACK VI then? Budding Journalist 02:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
MacHack may be notable as the oldest chess program still runnable under emulation. Any hints on how to run MacHack under PDP-10 emulation? Was it included in any standard OS distributions like TOPS-10? What 6.3 filename was it typically given? -- IanOsgood ( talk) 16:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
I've just found out that three MacHack v Fischer games are online at the chessgames.com database.
From the available scores Fischer 3, MacHack 0. Other details are hinted at in the comments section. Further research may be useful. Graham1973 ( talk) 16:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
