Almost always.  I know it has an opening book it relies upon, and I think it has a randomizing factor to choose between moves that are of equal value.  By now you're out of the book, of course, and into the midgame.

Weird. Our entire clash, and build up to, for the center was of course obvious. But it countered d4 opening move with e6?

Yup.  I'm looking up the opening now -- Queen's Pawn Opening, Horwitz Defense.  With 4. e3 the game left chess.com's database so you're in uncharted territory.  :)

That's actually pretty cool. I doubt it's the best opening counter, but I'm apparently usually shit at those.
I used to Always start or counter the start by moving one of my Knights into the field, regardless of what my opponent did.
I was once told by someone better than me, but not like an exceptional player, that I played a pretty good defence, but that my opening game was shite.
I've been trying out different plays since.

Droidfish provides some analysis of each move -- I won't track it here because the ongoing change in the analytical position would feed into the psychological side of the game, and that's strictly between you two.  :D

As for me, I genuinely once had a software analysis of one of my moves begin with the word "Yikes!!" so I know chess is not my game.  :D

Now that the opening's done and we're starting to mix it up, this is getting to be great fun! I don't even care (much) whether I win or lose, since even if I lose I may well learn a thing or two.

And who knows? Maybe together we'll create something beautiful!

I'll admit I was hoping you'd make a different move, but this won't be that easy, clear to see now. :)

Ah, you wouldn't want it to be too easy anyway, it's more fun when you have to struggle a bit for the win.
