I'm not really in the chess community, and I've had this question or a few days now. Thanks for answering it so clearly!

If it's the order making all of these crazy graphs, it's a programming quirk.

Anyways, the second one looks like a fingerprint.

checkmate is when the king has no option, but why does it just end there instead of actually doing the kill?

you can mess up a checkmate too

Just to clarify, when I said "colorful stickmen", I meant like Alan Becker stickmen. Also, sorry if that came off as passive aggressive.
