"o3 does not just spit out an answer. It reasons. It struggles. It switches tools. It self-corrects. Sometimes it even cheats, but only after exhausting every other option. That feels very human." I've never met a human player that suddenly says 'OK, I need Python to figure out my next move'. I'm not a good player, usually I just do ten minute matches against the weakest Stockfish settings so as not to be annoying to a human, and I figured this one out in a couple of minutes because there are very few options. Taking with the rook doesn't work, taking with the pawn also doesn't, so it has to be a non-taking move, and the king can't do anything useful so it has to be the rook and typically in these puzzles it's a sacrifice that unlocks the solution. And it was.
