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.

  Also setting i twice, I'm not sure why.

    Good catch, although that would be easier to discount as an oversight. [Edit: sibling post explains it.]

    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 "biyubi@gmail.com") - 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)" [1] http://nanochess.110mb.com/author.html http://nanochess.110mb.com/author.html
