Source code, published until OS X 10.9: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/TextE...

And Chess source code is also still published: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/Chess (Despite what the readme says, the code seems to be for the version shipping on Mac OS 26).

The engine that Chess.app uses is GPLv2

Yes, but the engine is running in a separate process, and communicates over a generic engine protocol, so that is no reason that would force open sourcing the GUI.

Wonder if it can be still compiled for modern Apple Silicon MacOS given Cocoa have been pretty much removed

I had to change some .strings file encoding settings and set the build target to macOS 14, but other than that and a few deprecation warnings, it built just fine in Xcode 27.2 on Tahoe 26.7.2.

Carbon was removed, not Cocoa

Cocoa hasn't been removed.
