  • Twenty Sided » Blog Archive » Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review
    I found this gem via the Jay Barnson. It calls itself a review of the Phantom Menace, but it’s more like a complete deconstruction of the characters, plot, and cinematography.

When the machine (Black) is thinking, a network of curves is overlaid on the board; see image at right. The curves show potential moves–often several turns in the future–considered by the computer. Orange curves are moves by black; green curves are ones by white. The brighter curves are thought by the program to be better for white. What were Thinking Machines 1,2, and 3? No. 1, built in 2002, was an exploratory version that was similar in concept to No. 4 but was completely different graphically and technically.
