Is there anything comparable to Fritz for the Mac?

I guess I could run Fritz via Parallels (although I would prefer to run
a native Mac program), assuming it will work okay like that. Any Mac
users out there who have tried this? Otherwise, what are you using?

I use Gambit. It's not perfect (it's a 1.0 release. I know the developer
is working on improving it, but hasn't had the time) but it does the
following things quite well:

1) Serves as a simple interface to play against Crafty.
2) Handles PGN databases intuitively and simply.
3) Allows easy manipulation of multiple variations, as well as easy
integration of Crafty's analysis.

It's a great little program, if still a little raw around the edges (for
example, it doesn't handle setting up a position very elegantly, and it
doesn't organize variations as clearly as Chessbase). It was developed
by Tim Kokesh, who some of you may remember as a regular on r.g.chess.

Plus, it's cheap. I think it's like $20 or so.
