MinimalChessEngine
After watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix I got interested in chess. I played a bit against computer programs and it made me curious about writing my own chess engine. This repository and a series of small videos I upload to Youtube after each milestone are documenting my progress. (by lithander)

Any weaker UCI engines?
The weakest published version if my engine starts with 1000 Elo: https://github.com/lithander/MinimalChessEngine/releases/tag/v0.2

I made a new C# engine, it’s slow but it was fun to make!
The Problem I had is that a lot of low-rated engines are low rated because they lose on bugs and have other issues. So it's not easy to find good sparring partners. To best of my knowledge my engine works correctly under all time controls and I've played ten thousand games without an issue. So if you want a sparring partner maybe give MinimalChess a try! ;)

An awesome introduction to (minimax-based) Chess AI by Sebastian Lage
I gutted my own C# chess engine, then copied the chess playing code from Sebastians Unity project over, changed what needed changing to make it compile again. So now you can play against Sebastians Chess-AI in your favorite chess GUIs.

I'm developing a hive agent
For anyone interested, I'm planning on making an agent that uses the Mzinga viewer as a frontend so that folks can play a decent game against an AI for training purposes instead of consistently getting embarrassed by strong players >_>. It's going to be completely open source, so if anyone wants to use it or base an application on it, they'll be more than welcome to :)

Minimal web version of Hive
I spent a few months writing a hive AI called nokamute but never added much of a UI. It uses the text protocol UHP and can be used from Mzinga.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing MinimalChessEngine and Mzinga you can also consider the following projects:
VkChess.net - 3D Stockfish Chess client powered by Vulkan
nokamute - Hive AI engine focused on speed.
xiphos - UCI chess engine
Lynx - Chess Engine, written in C#
Binbo - Chess representation written in Erlang using Bitboards, ready for use on game servers
weasel - 【小狼毫】Rime for Windows
DgtAngel - 'The Ultimate Focus Mode'. Play online with your DGT Board, mismatch detection, voice alerts (for moves and time remaining) and a 'virtual' clock.
StockNemo - A C# Chess Engine Finding Good Moves.
SebLagueChessEngine - Sebastian Lague's Chess AI with added UCI support
XPVTraffic - A library and GUI to create virtual traffic in X-Plane 11. Interacts with the LiveTraffic plugin. Acts as 'RealTraffic' data provider
