Garbochess, an UCI compliant open source chess engine by Gary Linscott. Starting with a 0x88 board representation in C#, which later evolved to the JavaScript version Garbochess-JS aka Ajax chess,  and was also incorporated in Silverlight Chess for the Microsoft Silverlight framework, Version 2 was a complete rewrite in C++ using bitboards.
