WoodPusher

WoodPusher is an impressive chess application that has been developed with C# for the Mono framework. The application is in its early developmental stages, but has the potential to become a full-featured chess application. The developers have set their sights on introducing a range of features to enhance the user’s experience. Some of these features include the ability to connect to useful online resources like Internet Chess Servers, play against engines such as Crafty, Phalanx and gnuchess, and lookup positions in move databases.

Initially, the developers have prioritised polishing the ICS client aspect of WoodPusher. The developers encourage anyone interested in C# and Gtk# to get involved with this project as it provides an excellent opportunity to work on something exciting.

To utilise WoodPusher, a few requirements must be fulfilled: GNOME libraries, Mono Beta 2 or later, and gtk-sharp beta 2 or later. In Version 0.1.1, a primary focus of this release is to fix bugs and create a stable environment for developers. Overall, this application is worth the try for chess enthusiasts looking for a new challenge.
