    ChessNovice

    A weak open source java chess engine

    Another open source java chess engine. The project is in a very early stage. Winboard compliance is partial. Does not support undo of moves or time controls. Right now it makes a move every 45 seconds. If you are a beginner-intermediate player you might find this a good sparring partner.I have tested this only with Arena3.0. I plan to make this stronger gradually. In the the end an array of ChessNovices with varying playing strenths should be available.

    Kenny ClassIQ

    A java-based, purely object-oriented chess engine.

    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).

    Paltry Chess

    HTW Saar - PIB Projektarbeit 2013

    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

    PluggableChessGraphism

    Take the chess graphism, and use it with a chess engine.

    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.
