There is something wrong with the diagram for Desert Pub Chess. When the AI moves, it seems to spuriously remove pieces from the board in unpredictable ways. Furthermore, this bug also affects the desert pieces, causing them to not capture properly when they capture more than once.
Normal Move Bug Replication
Move each pawn forward one at a time, you should see the opponent's pawns add locust squares (the dull red highlights) when moving. Eventually the AI will make a Knight move that removes a friendly pawn.
Desert Piece Bug
Make the following moves manually:
1. e2e4 f2g4 2. Fc8d5
Then open the AI dashboard and move a white piece. You will see some very strange behavior (only one white pawn gets captured and the other is "moved" to a different square).
