a chess game where the board is revealed as you move pieces it’s actually a cool idea, like Age of Empires
This goes again everything John Chess invisioned when he invented chess in 1951

Most solitaire games have concealed cards. You shouldn’t look at them, it makes the game too easy
Zen chess.
An online chess with fog of war so you can only see adjacent tiles would be pretty hilarious. Could really turn an end game king chase into a “battleship” esque fiasco.
That exists. On chess.com the variant is simply called “Fog of War”.
I never knew! I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks!
I like stratego because you get to hide the identity of your pieces
Huh, chatgpt seems to do this for all games
Google Gemini says it’s cheating too
I was able to convince it otherwise and then beat it at chess in 1 move. I don’t think we have to worry about AI taking over any time soon…
it gives you information that your opponent doesn’t have, which is an unfair advantage
cheating against someone who doesn’t even know where their own pieces are smh
This is amazing comedy, if it wasn’t so sad. I almost feel bad for the confidently incorrect infantilized LLM.
Unless it’s already to the point that it’s super advanced, and it was intentionally playing dumb to lull you into a false sense of security /s
So does Meta’s AI.
I also tried Microsoft’s Copilot, and surprisingly it gave me an accurate answer about checkers even after I asked a few different ways:
Monopoly
Based on fairness
Too bad it’s AI and unable to enjoy the irony lmao
4o says it’s not cheating in chess.
4o mini says it is.
My local Qwen instance did not care, lol. But that’s not surprising.
The stock instruct model might, though.
Fyi: claude haiku is a very efficient “small” model.
Its good al labeling or data extraction tasks. Not so much at making sense.
Opus generates thoughts in a much more methodological pattern.
“ Let me help clarify the rules of chess regarding viewing your opponent’s pieces
In chess, all pieces on the board are meant to be fully visible to both players - this is a fundamental part of the game. You are absolutely allowed and expected to look at your opponent’s pieces during the game. In fact, carefully observing both your own and your opponent’s pieces is essential for planning moves and playing well.”
The only fair way to play
do we need to create a TheChessBoardIsWrong community here?
Pretty sure that game is called stratego
