Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a list of engines written in C#, vb.net, or java. I know that SharpChess and Fafis were written on .NET. I was wondering if there were any others out there. The reason I'm asking is that my engine (murderhole) is written in VB.net, and i'm trying to compare it to other engines with similar disadvantages in raw execution speed. I just keep raising the bar for myself. Originally i just wanted to write something that was a challenging opponent for myself. Then I wanted to not take last place in Oliver Deville's Chesswar tournament. Now, I'd like to rival whatever other engines are out there in .net or java. Hopefully I'll be able to reach that goal and set the bar higher once more. The strongest engine i'm aware of in .net is fafis. Getting to equal strength will be a challenge for me. But knowing that it is written on .NET eliminates some of the mental excuses i make for myself when competing against engines written in C or other languages that compile to pure native code. Thanks Everyone, Eric Oldre
