Since those are ordinary CPUs, I guess that it will be expensive and not as fast as on the latest graphics card.
Or does the Amazon cloud have GPUs in it now?

Are you looking into a free account, or do you want to try some splashy thing like spending a few hundred dollars and using a giant bank of cards?

I just want to play some games with it, as a sparring partner for my own improvement and that of my own program.

Why not buy a nice GPU?
Besides playing good chess, you can use them for all kinds of interesting things like protein folding and mersenne prime searching.
