This is interesting - it's a chess program that shows you graphically what it's thinking. Don't know how strong it is as I'm only 3 moves in but I always lose to computers anyway. I would like to hear how other players get on.

You play by clicking and dragging, like uChess.

Edit: it seems a bit queen-happy!

This was posted way way back (don't blame you for not knowing that). It's pretty rubbish but interesting sort of.

When I played it it refused to let me make any move it didn't like......so yeah, rubbish!
Plus, half the time you forget what shape is what.

Well I did, anyway.

I'm just coming to the end of a game with it and it hasn't stopped me from doing anything. But I am going to win, so.... yeah, rubbish!

It made me feel sick (after 8 pints of lager) and it drew lines between squares that are impossible, illegal moves.

The lines are as the crow flies I think.

I think I broke it. After 5 minutes, it looked like this -

Then, it said "the program has performed an illegal operation and will now shut down". My uber crappiness broked a thinkerizing machine.
