Caught between a rook and a hard place

♟️ Caught between a rook and a hard place: International Master Levy Rozman pitted seven popular AI chatbots against chess engine Stockfish. Spoiler: Stockfish crushed ‘em. ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and X’s Grok are great at chatting, not strategizing. They made hilariously bad moves; like breaking the rules, creating patterns, removing random pieces from the board and generating new ones. Chaotic but entertaining.
