ChessMaps,
a research chess playing program by Kieran Greer, written in C#. It is testbed for dynamic move ordering heuristics such as the Chessmaps Heuristic [1]
[2].
The program requires the .NET Framework and has an own Windows GUI. The ChessMaps manual credits Beowulf for providing the opening book.

Quotes
Kieran Greer's more recent research on Tree Pruning for New Search Techniques in Computer Games with move chains has been carried out using Chessmaps [4]:
The Chessmaps program is still only a prototype program and is missing modules or functions that would be included in a complete program. There is no real knowledge of endgame play, for example, where the program will tend to play more aimlessly and be happy to concede a draw by repetition, in a clearly winning position. On the other hand, in certain middlegame positions where its positional evaluator should work well, it does play strongly. It is still a bit buggy and can produce errors, but the testing and results have been performed under reliable circumstances. So a rough evaluation of playing strength might be a strong club player, although, this is not particularly strong for computer chess programs these days.
