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.
