All you taught the child was the rules of the game. The program probably has chess knowledge in it's eval that took years to figure out. It would only be fair to cut away some of the chess knowledge of the engine too. Give it a material only eval function. And to be really fair, only give it a value of 1 for each piece, since the child doesn't understand the relative values of the pieces. If you did all that, you might have a interesting game to watch.
