Artistic okay!

Programmatic, 
you are doing multiple testing, 3 times here, where there is no need, 
example:

function random(){
	holder = Math.random() < 0.5;
	if (holder==true){uplayer="white";} 
    else if (holder==false){uplayer="black";}
}

Why not:

function random(){
	holder = Math.random() < 0.5;
	if (holder)
       uplayer = 'white'
    else 
       uplayer = 'black';
};

Or even more consize:

function random(){
	uplayer = (Math.random() < 0.5)
    ? 'white'
    : 'black';
};

or:

function getRandom(){
	return (Math.random() < 0.5)
    ? 'white'
    : 'black';
};

getRandom() = getRandom();

========

However, I would prefer to use a binary global value:

let uplayerIsWhite = true; // default
...
uplayerIsWhite = Math.random() < 0.5;
