Each LLM is given the same 1000 chess puzzles to solve. See puzzles.csv. Benchmarked on Mar 25, 2024.

Not well, apparently.

I wonder how many of the ones they "solved" were just because they'd seen it discussed somewhere in the data set, considering the puzzles are apparently from a public resource.

Yeah, I don't know why anyone knowledgeable would expect them to be good at chess. LLMs don't generalise, reason or spot patterns, so unless they read a chess book where the problems came from...

Likely close to 100%. If you read the (rather good) article, a little further down they test whether the LLM can play an extremely simplistic "Connect 4" game they devise, as a way of narrowing down on specifically reasoning capabilities.

It cannot.

Chess puzzles, in particular, are frequently shared and discussed in online chess spaces, so the LLM will have a significant amount of material to work with when it tries to predict the best response to give to the prompt.

I didn't figure. I'm sure they could be taught to be much better, but normal computing can already play chess more or less perfectly. There really isn't much any room left to be gained.
