Totally awesome! Thanks for sharing that link.

I think of like, 2, 3 moves a second.

:-)  Me too... but usually only for about one second. 

I'm starting to like the "ripples" of piece power now almost as much as the abstract art that comes out of Black's thinking process.

I agree, DeepGreene. Also, I find the minimalist icons used to depict pawns and pieces quite intriguing.

Really Cool ^^

Apparently, they are working on a physical "thinking table" that uses similar-looking actual pieces...

(Right now, I think these images are just conceptual.)

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so new

also please could someone get one of the major chess programs licence the program

I would love to review grand master games with this

gerard

yeah this is really gorgeous.  and easy to beat lol.

I would hope so. It uses algorithms from the 50's :p

has anyone played that computer yet? its not very good...............first game draw second game i killed it

Yeah like the others I smashed it apart, but I found its moves very human-like. It was actually kind of freaky.

But what struck me is the pure artistry.  The minimalist pieces, the humanlike playing style, the radiating power, the computer analysis lines.  All so beautiful, and it really gives you insight into the depth of chess.

minatonamikaze7> Has anyone played that computer yet?

hehe, no not exactly the strongest engine

That's pretty cool. Even my meager chess skills were enough to beat it though lol

Its pretty sweet.

I love it! Just give it a better engin and I'd pay for it.

its ok but it thinks too long during the end games and the only promotion is queen, it could be a it stronger as well.

Really cool.  The physical table would be amazing (but very expensive, I would imagine).
