> So we humans are not a general intelligence then?

No, because we can, in fact, generally read the rules of a game and then follow them. It's actually a hobby for many of us.

This misses the point completely.

How many times do you think chess.com prevents illegal moves from being executed? Even Super GM's fall for mate-in-1's occasionally, which is functionally equivalent to missing a pin or a check. This idea that LLMs failing to only ever make legal moves undermines their intelligence doesn't pass the smell test.

Do you play chess ? Do you even know what an illegal move is ?

If you have something to contribute to the discussion, just say it

Chess.com has to accommodate people who haven't learned the rules yet on the low end. On the high end, people are commonly playing fast enough that they're often outlining sequences of multiple "pre-moves" during the opponent's turn in order to avoid losing on time. And no, I would not agree with that functional equivalence.
