I asked it if it could play chess and it boasted it was around 3000 Elo!
I then setup the Saitek Simultano (1800 Elo, late 1980s chess computer) and took on the current version of ChatGPT 4:
White: Simultano (15 seconds / move)
Black: ChatGPT 4
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. d3 b5 7. Bb3 d6 8. Be3 Na5 9. Nc3 Nxb3 10. axb3 O-O 11. Nxb5 Bg4 12. Na7 Qd7 13. Rxa6 c5 14. Qa1 Rxa7 15. Rxa7 Qxa7 16. Qxa7 Re8 17. Bg5 Bxf3 18. Bxf6 Bxf6 19. gxf3 Ra8 20. Qxa8+ Bd8 21. Qxd8#
Then I tried again with Genini:
White: Simultano (15 seconds / move)

Here black was unable to make a legal move despite many tries.
