It's a scam (it doesn't even use the best version of stockfish, so much for "the best chess engine available").

Moreover, it infringe GPL. I would love if a country started enforcing GPL with huge fines. Company-destroying fines.

The only people who can enforce the GPL are the people who own the copyright of the code infringed. They may be able to win huge fines, but (with some infamous exceptions) generally aim more for compliance than punishment.

Have you used the internet or turned on a Tv in the last 20 years? Do you really think Dodge has "The Best Truck in the world" or that Verizon really has the "fastest 5g in America". This is marketing 101 for any business in the US.
