The Thinking Machine, version four, is a chess-playing javascript that shows you all the moves the computer is considering, often several steps ahead, with colored lines that represent each player and the perceived outcome of each line of play (darker is better for black, the computer, and lighter is better for white, the human). It's not Big Blue -- the programming is such that experts will easily whallop the machine and beginners will be smacked down hard -- but it's an interesting look into the thought process involved in becoming adequate at chess. Plus, it's darn pretty, with all those radiating waves of influence coming off each piece, the simplified use of shapes to denote the pieces, and the light saber color scheme.
