I embedded a chess engine in SVG image of a chess board (https://github.com/jnykopp/svg-embedded-chess) so that the engine moved the pieces automatically and played against itself, just by viewing the SVG.

This was done for a friend of mine who made an art installation that projected like some 50x20 (can’t remember exactly) of these images in a grid on a wall, for perpetual chess madness.

The number of chess SVGs a laptop’s browser was able to run simultaneously did feel suprisingly low, but luckily it was enough for that particular piece of art.
