B is more ambitious on paper (a competent hand-rolled engine with castling/en-passant/SAN and quiescence search) but the shipped artifact is visually broken: B.png shows flat dark tiles with no recognizable 3D pieces standing on the board, so the core \"3D chess\" deliverable does not render.

B's underlying from-scratch engine (alpha-beta + quiescence, full legal-move gen, draw detection) is genuinely strong, but the artifact does not visually work, and the brief's headline requirement is the 3D rendering.

B's animation core is also markedly more maintainable: one rAF delta-time tick loop driving a declarative CSS state machine via data-* attributes, versus A's imperative timeout/interval juggling where the timeouts array mixes raw IDs and {clear} objects and clearTimeouts() (A/index.html:558) only handles one shape, risking leaked intervals on some reset paths. A is solid and clean (tidy IIFE, no global leakage) but offers fewer steps, no reduced-motion, and a less informative cross-section.

On UX, B's typographic editorial design, always-visible cross-section, countdown timer, and animated step list read as more polished in the screenshot, while A hides the cross-section/tip/step-list entirely on mobile (A index.html:265-267). A is solid and its cumulative-state rebuild is clever, but it carries a real defect: clearTimeouts() (A index.html:558) runs clearTimeout over a mixed array that also holds {clear:fn} interval-wrapper objects, so that path silently fails to cancel intervals (it's only saved because enterStep also calls the correct clearIntervalsTimeouts).
