> You need to give ChatGPT the full state

If I've been given the full state every move, I will _never_ make an illegal move as a 1400 chess player.

Do you really think that this error would have been made at 1400 Elo? Even in blind chess? This is the 5th move of the game. I can still track the game at this point mentally.

I recognize that you're 1900 and think that all the chess players below you are n00bs, but... come on. 1400 players are stronger than this.



And yet kids who are gaining rating quickly can and do still occasionally (albeit rarely) make illegal moves at 1400. I know because I've played them (and was one, many years ago).
