There is a full-on chess game in this page .. I wonder if it created a mini engine on its own or if it used one of the available open source solutions. Very impressive.

I beat it, so I don't think it's any good (I'm terrible).

But it also wasn't just random or anything, it played like a beginner.

I suspect it's just random. I tried feeding one of its pawns my Queen and it completely ignored it, choosing to move a knight nearby instead that didn't take the Queen.
It's clearly not random, it will mostly take pieces if they're available. It puts you in check on purpose, etc.
