#2I love the idea. Not sure if it is the best visual. What does a strong line mean versus a thin line? Does it mean you are thinking real hard about that route? I know it would be much more effort but it would be interesting to read what it is thinking. Which piece is it trying to get in the short term. What is the long-term rational.

What bugs me the most is that it doesn't use anything even resembling standard iconography for the pieces.

Yeah, I'm likely not going to be able to keep track of the pieces after a few moves.

#6Would be more interesting if it actually played chess. I mated it, it captured my queen with its king, I captured its king with a pawn, and then it declared a draw.

People should polish a little more before releasing these things. Who knows what the visualization means if the rules are this broken.

#7That's cute. It's running in the browser as ordinary JavaScript, not on a remote server. Unfortunately, Firefox 46 crashed about 20 moves into a game.

#8I really liked this. Understanding what the AI is doing is usually something that comes with experience and a bit of analysis, but a good visualization can act as a shortcut to intuition.
And this one in particular was nicely designed.

#9I feel like the AI is particularly intelligent in its use of lines to distract me. Fun visualization otherwise, even though it's a little hard to really understand what's going on. At least I can tell which moves are not considered.

That sounds a lot like playing any game with a young child. The difference is you can't correct a game-playing AI when it doesn't follow the rules.
So in a way it's a lot like playing a game with a young child after you've stopped caring about the rules.
