For example you can take a golf swing, and get the program to analyse the swing to see if any improvement is some aspect of the golf swing is required. They have this in swimming also. They just take video footage of the movements, and then give them to a computer to analyse. Air Force fighter pilots have been using this type of technology to record their plane flying tactics and to improve upon their dog fighting skills. It would only be a matter of time before someone bothers to put the effort into creating some type of AI for Chess.
