Can #ChatGPT play #chess?

It started as a simple experiment: pit ChatGPT against the #Atari2600’s (from 1977) chess engine (via Stella emulator) and see what happens. I figured it would be a lighthearted stroll down retro memory lane.

ChatGPT got absolutely wrecked on the beginner level.

Despite being given a baseline board layout to identify pieces, ChatGPT confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks, and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were — first blaming the #Atari icons as too abstract to recognize, then faring no better even after switching to standard chess notation. It made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd grade chess club.
