A functional game of chess with a brute force algorithm from the creator of the Build engine, Ken Silverman. He open sourced it on his projects page in 2005. Some nice smooth animations, no sound to speak of (though Ken says there are funny sounds), full mouse support, and an AI that vaguely knows what it's doing. Lawnie throws a few pawns about the place in his bizarre opening, and then calls it a day. Decent stuff.
