34 - chess visual :: to show the vast size of the game trees considered
35 by computers, show two people playing chess in a
36 void. They are floating in space, and there is a
37 simple chess board between them. Then, as they play,
38 the game tree's they are considering are drawn
39 behind him. The root of the tree starts centered in
40 their heads or whatever they use to think, and the
41 tree grows out from behind, never crossing the
42 dividing plane between the two players. Each
43 player's tree is a different color. As they grow,
44 there are animations for pruning, etc. Eventually,
45 they look like the hemispheres of a brain, wings,
46 etc. A human's tree might occasionally have a long
47 chain, while the computer tree would be more
48 uniform. You could compare deep blue and a modern
49 laptop. Use actual data when fighting two computers!
