Would a chess program that has a table of all the lines on the board that keeps track of whether they are empty or not and that uses that table as part of its move choosing algorithm qualify? If not, I think we might be into qualia territory when it comes to making sense of how exactly a human is recognizing the emptiness of a line and that program isn't.

Yup. I strongly suspect that Taube was in fact "into qualia territory", or something along those lines, when he wrote that.
