I 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.

funny how in the quest to make the icons "simple," they lost all meaning, making them insanely complicated.
