Can you believe I made a test that can play Chess?

I have been experimenting a lot with the Endtest platform lately, since I'm helping them out with my testing expertise.

Trying to find extreme scenarios that cannot be automated, I ended up trying to automate some tests for a Chess game.

Needless to say, it went pretty well.

As you can see, my test played a decent game.

The assertions are checking if my movements were registered correctly.

What made it easy is the fact that all the pieces and squares are actual HTML elements.

If I was dealing with a HTML5 Canvas element, I would have needed to use the Click with Offset action.

I talked to them and sent them the video, ended up being posted on their YouTube channel.

Can you think of any site or scenario that is impossible to automate?

Would love to get some fresh ideas.
