It seems that, at least for a while, Video Chess on the #Atari 2600 can beat #ChatGPT at #chess.
A slight correction for the article: the 2600's processor has 0 FLOPS. It doesn't do floating point. A game could still manage such computations, but why?

The modern chess bots seem to always want to Castle early. Perhaps because they live in one.

ChatGPT "Absolutely Wrecked" at #Chess by Atari 2600 Console From 1977 https://futurism.com/atari-beats-chatgpt-chess

ChatGPT chancenlos: Atari von 1977 treibt die KI zur Verzweiflung

https://m.winfuture.de/news/151450

> Die Ironie liegt darin, dass ChatGPT durchaus über umfangreiches Schachwissen verfügt. Es kann Eröffnungstheorien erklären, berühmte Partien analysieren und Schachregeln detailliert darlegen. Doch wenn es darum geht, dieses Wissen in einer konkreten Spielsituation anzuwenden, versagt das System offenbar spektakulär.

Ich kenne einige Menschen, die ebenso ticken. Erklären können sie viel, aber wenn es in die Praxis geht...

#introduction I consume too much #coffee and solve too many #crosswords and #chess puzzles. ¶ I do as much #reading as I can: #poetry, #flash, #essays, #books of all sorts (#literary fiction + #scifi, #mysteries, and #espionage. I read what I like, when I like! ¶ I was once an upstanding member of the #writing community---creator of #poetry and short #essays on #words and #etymology, among other things---and am working on my return. ¶ I have two dogs (seen here) and one spouse (not seen here).

Шашки 1/2

Сколько себя помню, всегда любил шахматы и шашки. К сожалению, в моей деревне не было мест, где можно было научиться играть правильно, поэтому учился урывками: то родственники подскажут, то сам. С появлением интернета и онлайн-библиотек дело, конечно, пошло динамичнее. Я даже начал запоминать номера квадратов и решать задачи.

Удивительно, но из двух этих игр я люблю больше русские шашки. Может показаться, что я выбрал лёгкий путь, но при всей своей простоте эта игра значительно сложнее, чем кажется.

Прежде всего, она развивает пошаговое мышление, а точнее — понимание причинно-следственных связей между действиями. Также помогает прокачать комбинаторику, учит не «вспыхивать» и жертвовать шашку ради выигрыша через несколько ходов, видеть неочевидные ходы и ошибки противника в начале партии. Главное — исход зависит только от твоего мастерства: здесь нет «сезонных бафов» или «нерфов».
