  I have recently moved to a Mac. Immediately I've installed Scid (looks very nice on the Mac) but I couldn't find a way to use my Houdini as a chess engine.
  
  Supposedly, it should run with Wine, but I don't know how to do it. I understand that you have done so, so could you give me some guidance?

  Most UCI engines won't work on Windows, but the two major ones that work on Mac or [Stockfish](http://stockfishchess.org/download/) and [Critter](http://www.vlasak.biz/critter/). Both can be easily loaded into SCID.
