Chess.NET

Chess.NET is a modern chess application game in C# / .NET 10, built completely from scratch.
It includes (almost) full game rules, a WPF-based GUI, custom bot logic, and even the ability to play against Stockfish via UCI.

⚠️ ATTENTION This game isn't finished yet and it's still very rudimental!
