if someone's wondering how he displays chess symbols that's how :

ps : also it's better to beautifier the code to (try to) understand it :

I'm getting empty character boxes instead of chess symbols, even if I force UTF-8 in Chrome or IE. Any ideas?

Maybe some font problem? How do you see chess symbols in Wikipedia page?
It's possible to have missing or corrupted Unicode font (once my Arial got broken and I had to get it somewhere from the web).

Have you patched your uxtheme.dll and are using a custom .msstyle? I'm guessing the default font of your theme may have an impact.

Extra points for the function call:

for(B=i=y=u=b=i=5-5, [...]
Is there a point in saying 5-5 instead of 0, other than wasting two characters for the fun of it?

Probably because he wanted to keep 1-letter variable names, and 1024 is more interesting than 1022.

It's 1014, though.

Okay, then it was to pad the js file to 1024 bytes, because 1024 bytes is more interesting than 1014 bytes.

It seems the author likes to use variable names to encode messages:
- "Biyubi" looks like his nickname (on his chess site [1] contact mail is "[email protected]")
- there is also "o, S, C, A, R, T, G" which are his first name and surname initials
- and already mentioned "X(c, h, e, s)"

Good catch, although that would be easier to discount as an oversight.

would you mind re-pasting the beautified code from the locally saved source? there are characters missing in the pasted blob (notice the italics.)
