C# is not more or less the same as java. They share a similar syntax, but there
are major differences in the implementation. C# as a I understand it provides
the option of native compilation, so that there is no VM layer. Even natively
compiled it won't be as fast as C or even C++, but should be measurably faster
than java. Whether it will be suitable to chess applications, its still to early
to say.
