There are tons of chess game transcripts online -- next token prediction with attention and rules/strategy discussions should be enough to get moderate skill in the Chess domain. It would be exceptionally unlikely that Bing would wire up a chess engine of all things into their production stack.

Microsoft is making a user-facing "AI" first and foremost, not an LLM. all that matters is how the user perceives the interaction with the service. the underlying LLM is useful only insofar as how it can make the user/computer interaction seem more magical and/or "natural".
