Well, supposing the opposite, which is that the anime staff did it unintentionally, it would be more reasonable since they might not have found the budget to invest in such a short scene, by means of hiring a professional player or using an endgame book. Plus, chess isn't that popular in Japan, compared to Shogi.

Of course, I'm not a chess enthusiast nor do I have any knowledge about it so either way, they are just uneducated guesses. But, this also strengthens the fact that it was meant to be a small scene, showcasing her tactical skill. So maybe, the scene wasn't supposed to target chess players but rather those who are ignorant of the game, like me.
