This cite is in hebrew but you do not need to understand hebrew to play
but only move the pieces with the mouse.

The program that play is deterministic
I can always beat it by
1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 g5 3.Bc4 a5 4.Qxf7#

I can also draw by repetition against the thing by
1.a3 e5 2.b3 f5 3.c3 a5 4.d3 b5 5.e3 c5 6.f3 Qh4+ 7.g3 Qh5 8.h3 d5 9.Ra2 g5
10.Ra1 h6 11.Ra2 Qg6 12.Ra1 h5 13.Ra2 Qh6 14.Ra1 Qg6 15.Ra2 Qh6 16.Ra1 Qg6
17.Ra2 Qh6 18.Ra1 Qg6....

but unfortunately the thing does not know not about repetition and not about the
50 move rule and there is no way to offer or claim a draw.

If I try to lose I can also lose by 1.f3 e5 2.g4 Qh4# so it is possible to write
weaker program but I doubt if there is a public weaker chess program.
