Mac Chess Game Center

Unlimited access to
100+ ad-free games.
All in one subscription.

When you launch Chess from within Game Center it will load into the Player vs Computer mode you described. Instead, once you have a Game Center account and are logged in, open Chess separately and use its 'New Game' option in the File menu to choose Game Center Match where you can invite and accept challenges from friends.

The Mac includes several variants, with 'regular' (a normal chess game) selected by default. 'Players' is where you pick the sort of game you want. The only thing worth mentioning here is that if you choose Game Center Match, you will get to invite any friends you have in Apple's Game Center to play.
