if it's a well understood fact, then how is it a new treatment?

According to US government, women spend 16 minutes a day, on average, doing laundry, and men spend 4 minutes on average. That's over a 100 hours a year for women, so yes, there is probably a lot of demand for a technology that makes this faster.

I'm guessing it generates the tree (2 levels deep) and then uses an evaluation function to choose the best branch.

Not too far off from a modern algorithm, except that it lacks even basic optimizations like alpha-beta pruning, etc. and an incredibly fine-tuned evaluation function and a huge library of opening and closing moves.

Nooooo!

I was going to start looking at places in Padmapper next month, for my upcoming move!

Is there any other similar service?

I'm surprised someone as skilled as you hasn't been able to find a job. Have you considered moving out of Mozambique to a greener pasture?

They "monetize" it by charging money for use of the service.

It's a video game, not a movie.

Welcome to MIT...

As someone who already has a bachelors in CS, I'm still looking forward to fill in some gaps in my education with these. For example, I never took a Theory of Computation class.
