Thinking Machine Plays Chess (and shows its thought processes to you) 

If you like chess, or just cool websites, here is one for ya.

 

From the website:

Thinking Machine 4 explores the invisible, elusive nature of thought. Play chess against a transparent intelligence, its evolving thought process visible on the board before you.

The artwork is an artificial intelligence program, ready to play chess with the viewer. If the viewer confronts the program, the computer's thought process is sketched on screen as it plays. A map is created from the traces of literally thousands of possible futures as the program tries to decide its best move. Those traces become a key to the invisible lines of force in the game as well as a window into the spirit of a thinking machine.

Check this out whether you fancy yourself a proficient chess player or not. It's really cool!

Shame it takes so long to make a move, however it is very amazing to watch it play out every move that could be made and predict the rest of the game, only to then move the castle forward one square.

Still fun if you like a really hard game!

As part of my ongoing mission to find the absolute best tools to make money, this is without a doubt at the top of my list. I am really satisfied with my play chess. I would gladly pay over $600 for play chess.
