Chesser is a Bitboard chess engine based on Stef Luijten's Winglet Chess Engine. This program came into existence because I saw a huge room for improvement in Winglet.

Chesster is a java chess engine, interfaced to XBoard/WinBoard, has it's own interface too.

Yet another chess engine.

C2hess stands for Chinese chess, a well-known board game. C2Chess provides both chess engine and GUI but the focus is on chess tree search algorithms.

Not so strong UCI chess engine programmed for fun. - IID, negascout, QS, SEE - bitboards, magics - null move pruning - hash (QS too), pawn hash - killers, history - time management, singular reply in root - staged generation - soft control - fast mobility - (undone) learning

Eia v0.3 - is a open source classical chess engine written just for fun. It plays in strenght around 1900 Elo and may be useful for sparring. Note that it is just an engine - you need to load engine into any available chess GUI (Graphical User Interface).

Java Program of a machine which plays chess: it recognizes the chessboard, the position, the move of the opponent, and asks an external Chess Engine to reply to the opponent move. it is connected to a real robot which has an arm to manipulate the pieces.

An interface for javascript chess engines to the UCI (universal chess interface) protocol. This allows javascript chess engines to be launched in most chess guis. The progam is based on the Google V8 Javascript Engine. This program expects the path to the .js file of the engine in the first parameter. A wrapper for the open source Javascript Engine p4wn by Douglas Bagnall is provided as an example. A successful and very complete implementation is the Javascript Chess Engine Lozza by Colin Jenkins. The webpage also includes a simple step-by-step guide setting up jsuci with Lozza. http://op12no2.me/toys/lozza/ You may also want to try connecting this javascript translation of the chess engine Stockfish 5 to jsuci: https://github.com/exoticorn/stockfish-js

KCChess -- yet another xboard-compatible chess engine.

KMT Chess is a chess engine. It supports Winboard Chess Engine Protocol and can be used in combination with Winboard or Arena user interfaces. KMTWinboard package includes WinboardX interface and a opening book, providing a much better user experience.

Kenny ClassIQ (read Kenny Classic) is something like my dream project. It is a chess engine with pure object oriented programming with close-to-real-world representation of the game inside the program using OOPS. Initially I thought of doing a similar thing in C++, but after trying to develop my other chess engine Kenny in this route, I found out that it is a difficult task, and switched to using Java for the programming instead. To learn how to do it, I created a similar, many-times-lesser-in-complexity project KenTacToe. Having completed it successfully, I've gained the confidence to proceed with Kenny ClassIQ, named so because it is more class-oriented than Kenny, and because I want it to be intelligent. (A play with words landed me Kenny ClassIQ.) Also, I used this name so that people searching for my other chess engine Kenny can also find this more advanced chess engine (okay, yes, I wanted to name my chess engine Kenny, so).

Manado Chess - XBoard and UCI compatible chess engine

Markovian is a chess engine which plays with the xboard interface.

"Mentally Challenged" is an XBoard/WinBoard compatible chess engine written in Java.

The Minerva Chess Engine is an artificial chess opponent. It learns as it plays and can be distributed across multiple computers for increased power.

MinkoChess is a multiplatform chess engine written in C++.

Neophyte is a Winboard and UCI compatible chess engine designed to play with a human style. Strong play comes second to the goal of playing like a human.

This project works to match a simple chess engine with an intuitive GUI. The ideal end result can be deployed on decrepit PCs and teach chess wordlessly, through "doing", as it were. With any luck, OpenGambit will reach that point.

This chess engine is the result of the project work 2013 at the University of Applied Sciences, study programme Applied Informatics. The target was to write an engine that is able to play chess with the official FIDE rules. At the moment, the engine chooses the first-found valid move instead of the best move. Other java classes should be fine. - shout-out to Mediocre Chess

You are given a chess graphical interface, with drag and drop functionnalities (or other interaction mode), board flipping, and some pieces/cells sets given. Then, you have some callbacks methods in order to validate moves from your chess engine and to update them to your chess engine.
