and why, in your vast non curmudgeon experience, should a game with an engine much simpler than chess talk to a web server for single player games?
It's a web game that you play in a web page. It'd be mighty impressive if it functioned without talking to a web server.

Further, it doesn't even have user accounts. What exactly is there to be curmudgeony about?

from the screenshots I assumed it was an app. my bad
How is that in any way related to anything here?
