Nice. Now It would be interesting to see different levels of gray filtered out (not necessarily in a linear way). As I barely know chess, I'd say there is a lot of trivial information overshadowing the rest: bottom are white, top black, both building initial defense structure using knights and white uses them to attack as well, both use Bishop to (counter-) attack, and of course there is the pawns pushing the front line forwards, plus what seems could be the moves of the towers along the last defensive line of King. It also shows the focus of both sides on the center. I wonder what an experienced chess player may see and if that could be shown on such a trace plot.
