This AI is very stupid. Here's our game, I played white:

> 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4

It's well known that the correct move here is 3...d6.

> 4.Qe2 d5 5.d3 Bb4+

Black could still limit its material losses to just a pawn with 5...Qe7.

> 6.c3 Bd6 7.Nf3 0-0 8.dxe4 dxe4 9.Nd4 Nd7 10.Nd2 f5

Completely inexplicable.

> 11.Ne6 Qh4 12.g3 Qe7 13.Nxf8 Kxf8

My pieces are still a little stuck, but I'm a full rook up! To my surprise, black was very happy to exchange pieces. The main thing that delayed the final result was my own imprecision.

I think they wanted you to notice the design and the thinking lines. They didn't set out to invent the world's best chess player.

In practice, I didn't notice the thinking lines, and I didn't even see the board itself. The author should've displayed the thinking lines on a separate, perhaps smaller, board on the side.
