It's interesting because it does demonstrate an understanding of chess, just like othello gpt demonstrated an understanding of othello. It follows the rules of chess and makes legal rules the vast majority of times. Making illegal moves occasionally doesn't mean you don't understand chess. Not if you learned chess in a self supervisory fashion. It's also a vast improvement over the chess performance of cGPT which makes legal moves on basically random chance and flies off the handle quickly. It's also just plain interesting that a language model can pick up how to play these games from training on text in the manner they do. If you don't find the idea that LLMs are universal computation engines interesting then i don't know what to tell you.
