  I thought you might like to know that there is a really cool 3D 
interactive chess board at the SGI website. It was created using VRML 
(virtual reality modeling language).  The traditional pieces can be moved 
by drag and drop, the board can be rotated to view from any angle, and 
the viewer can navigate closer or farther from the board, all by using a 
VRML browser.

Go to:

http://vrml.sgi.com

When the homepage loads, click on the VRML gallery on the left hand 
toolbar, go to the bottom and click on MORE. VRML Chess is second from 
the top.

It is one of many entries in a contest to win a SGI O2 (high end graphics 
workstation).  BTW, vote for your choice and get a chance to win an O2.  
The winner of the contest gets one, and a random voter gets one.

Regards,
