Hi,

Well I've been thinking about giving something like that a try in my Neurosis-
interface.  I'm currently working on another 3d-game and not spending so much
time on neurosis, but this game should be finished somewhere in August, and
then I'll work on Neurosis again. (Currently I've just added a 2D-board
option to Neurosis-3D, since otherwise no one seems to want to use my
interface.)  And "something like that" in my case would be a table and chairs
and room, and someone sitting across, but he/she probably won't look much like
GM's. But I will try to let it move around and it'll move the pieces by hand
and hit the chessclock and so. Also to move around uncomfortably when it's
getting into trouble, (Crossing arms, arm to his head, head in his hands) or
sitting more comfortably when it's winning and "wonder" when you play a
different move then it expected and so.
Anyway, for me it's a challenge to do software-rendering, so no breathtaking
graphics from me. (But it will on any system.)

It'll be free. Hopefully it'll have that in a month, or two.

Stan
