Yes, but see below.

The situation isn't good, that is, the project is stalled. There are some 
problems with design, mostly that some core classes were probably too 
ambitious, but biggest problem is there are no active developers.

I am willing to do some coding, assuming that there will be one or two more 
persons determined to work on it.

If you really are sure you want to start similar project, we may work 
together. I think the most important point is to provide a good plan with a 
time schedule, assuring that key features will be implemented in reasonable 
time.

Of course, we may reuse as much ChessX code as necessary.
