How to Scroll and Click Using the Trackpad on a Mac Laptop
Open your System Preferences by clicking on the Apple icon on the far left side of the menu bar at the top of your screen and selecting 'System Preferences' from the drop-down menu.
Select 'Keyboard & Mouse' from the System Preferences screen.
Make sure that 'Trackpad' is selected in the bar at the top of the Keyboard and Mouse screen.
Locate the 'Trackpad Gestures' section and check the box next to 'Use two fingers to scroll,' which will allow you to scroll through a webpage or document by placing two fingers on your trackpad and moving both, or moving one while holding the other still, in the direction you want to scroll.
Use the sliding arrow under 'Scrolling Speed' to change the speed at which the finger-scrolling option reacts to your movements. Find a speed you are comfortable with.
Check the box next to 'Allow horizontal scrolling' if you would like to be able to scroll the page from left to right using the trackpad as well as from top to bottom.
Check the box next to 'Clicking' so that you can click using your trackpad by tapping it with your finger. To double-click you tap the trackpad twice. You can also check the box next to 'Dragging' (right below the 'Clicking' box) to enable dragging of objects and windows on your computer screen using only your trackpad. To drag using your trackpad you tap it twice with your finger when the cursor is over the object you would like to drag, and on the second tap don't lift your finger; instead, move it to where you would like to drag the object you have selected. Tap the trackpad once more to release the object.

How to Play Chess on Mac OS Tiger
Click the 'Go' menu tab from the Finder.
Scroll to and click the 'Applications' menu option. This will bring up the list of common applications that are currently stored on your Mac.
Double click the 'Chess' icon to play chess. If the icon is not immediately visible then simply scroll up or down until it appears in the window.
Notice that by default the computer will start a game with the human playing as white and the computer playing as black.
Begin play simply by moving your pieces and progressing through the game until either you or the computer is victorious.
Click 'Game' followed by 'New Game' to change the current players or the difficulty. You can change the game from Computer vs. Human to Computer vs. Computer or Human vs. Human.
Take advantage of the Move menu. The Move menu offer you a chance to take back moves after the fact, as well as see the last move the computer performed.
Choose a variant form of chess when you start a new game. Crazyhouse, for example, allows you to replace pieces to the board that are duplicates of your opponents (if you capture an opponent's white rook, you will receive a black rook of your own, even if you already have 2 on the board).
Enable Speech in chess. With speech enabled (and a compatible microphone) you will be able to instruct the computer where and how to move your pieces without ever having to touch the keyboard.
