You can also tell it's made by programmers because of the en passant "feature", which clearly only exists due to the programmers' incomplete implementation of the 2-square first move.

Your post and air quotes for “feature” are hella snide. In chess code, en passant is an edge case that takes a lot of code to cover, and not just some bug due to incompleteness.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself. And yes, check pun intended.
