I wouldn't say there is anything strange about its absence. You are the first person who has ever said we should have this, and no such AI exists. At best, we have programs and scripts that have been created to play some games. Even Zillions-of-Games, which has more games available for it than any other program of its kind, can only play those games that have been programmed for it. There is no AI that can read rules written in English and play the game against someone. What this site is the home of is Game Courier, which lets you play Chess variants with other people by correspondence. It is as versatile as Zillions-of-Games with respect to the games that can be played with it, but it is only for correspondence games, not for playing against a computer.
