See http://www.antchess.hu/.

Extract from the original description: (with my poor english translation :))

"... AntChess functions differently: the pieces have internal motivations,
showing personalities with different but relatively simple behavioural patterns,
they are separate personalities. They react always the current position,
reasoning the best move for them. The program chooses the best move ideal for
the whole team, taking the characteristics of the members into account. .... The
machine does not think forward, only at most the following move ... thus, often
it does not recognize shortcoming mates. ... the program tries to demonstrate
that the global strategy can be substituted with local tactics."
