Java-Chess 06_30_03

Java-Chess project is a standalone Java chess program.

Java-Chess is a fully-featured chess program that uses using Java 1.2 (including Swing) and 64-bit computing where possible.

The goal of the Java-Chess project is to develop an OpenSource chess application written in Java. We want to demonstrate that Java can be tuned to a point, where it is almost up to the performance of an application, that was directly compiled to native code.

Even clean object-oriented design does not necessarily generate an overhead, that makes high-performance computing virtually impossible.
