I have released version 3.0 of my C# chess engine, MadChess. This is a complete rewrite of the engine using bitboards. I estimate its playing strength at about 2600 ELO at blitz time control.
It supports UCI_LimitStrength and UCI_Elo, so you may configure MadChess for a more enjoyable game. I have not done stringent testing of the limit strength feature so I'm uncertain how well calibrated it is to human playing strength. If you play a game against MadChess using this feature, let me know what you think. Does it play reasonably? Or does it play too weak or too strong?
More details available on my MadChess 3.0 Released blog post.

Re: MadChess 3.0 Released
Is Madchess the strongest dotnet engine now? (besides the SF clone)
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Re: MadChess 3.0 Released
I think so. It's either MadChess or NoraGrace, a C# engine from a few years ago.
