You are right.
Now looking more carefully at the example critterchess code :
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/critterchess
it is already partly ported for FPC. There is no Lazarus project but
the code has IFDEFs:

{$ifndef FPC}
class operator TRootMove.LessThan(m1, m2: TRootMove): boolean;
{$else}
operator < (m1, m2: TRootMove) LessThan : boolean;
{$endif}

The converter defines Mode Delphi and FPC is already defined. The
result is illegal code.
This is a good example of a strange code variation the converter gets.
It cannot tackle all of them.
