CCC members will enjoy Laird A. Breyer's completely serious, moderately successful, and highly entertaining project to train an email spam filter to play chess: <BLOCKQUOTE> This experiment will test a real spam filter, not a specially designed chess program. It won't aim to beat Deep Thought (I wouldn't know where to start, and I have a feeling this could be difficult anyway ;-), but it will aim to show signs of "intelligence", or we won't claim success. Finally, since dry tables and graphs are no fun, a theoretical proof of concept is not enough: the spam filter must really play chess in a way that everyone can see, and try out at home. </BLOCKQUOTE> http://dbacl.sourceforge.net/spam_chess-1.html Breyer's writeup is complete enough that you can try it yourself, from the command line, with only moderate unix skills.
