Subject: computer aided chess

I'm a computer programmer but a total chess ignoramus so please forgive my
bumbling...

I would like to learn what is the state of the art for computer aided chess, so
I'm hoping folks here can point me to any kind of resources, activities, etc. I
gather that Kasparov has initiated "Advanced Chess" which might be exactly what
I am interested in. What I have in mind is (person + computer) playing against
another (person + computer). I also have in mind that each person can use
whatever software they want. I.e. part of the fun is to beat your opponent
simply by having better software, or maybe by having software better adapted to
the person, or the person better adapted to the software, etc.

I've been dreaming for years about ways that a computer chess program could
provide a person with a short list of the best three or four moves, and explain
the strengths and weaknesses of each. Then the person gets to make the final
choice. Seems like that could be lots of fun, both for beginners and for
experts. I expect by now something like this probably already exists????

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jim
