The rock wins at chicken, for any model that accurately describes its behavior. One such model is as an agent with a game-appropriate utility function and zero intelligence. Therefore, an agent with a game-appropriate utility function and zero intelligence wins at chicken (in the case as constructed).
It proves that we can construct a game where the less intelligent player's lack of intelligence is an advantage. OP shows the same, but I find the rock example simpler and clearer--I especially find it illuminates the difficulties with trying to exploit the result.
The verb "to win" strongly implies preferences, not just behavior. A rock doesn't win at chicken, as it doesn't have a payout matrix that can define the utility values of outcomes.
