Yeh, if the computer knew how to checkmate, that would be good. Sorry if it matters that much to you.
When i programmed it, it was meant to be beaten. it's for begginers, and most begginners i've seen play it, get hammered pretty early on. but they get the chance to comeback. it's kind'a like playing agaist your dad when your 6 - he'll hit you hard and then let you win.
So for that reason, it will only try to "stale-mate" you. it's there for fun, not to beat bigblue.
As for the the idea of "purpose" in the 5k competition... well what about design and beauty? i still think a well designed HTML site thats pleasing to the eye, and easy to read and navigate, is FAR better then a novelty chess game.
