Aidan Cooper writes about experiments testing large language models at chess, including a 2023 completion model that stayed undefeated against frontier chatbots and a new PGN-to-FEN benchmark for LLM state tracking. He also writes about engineering culture, such as how code quality depends on individual senior engineers rather than shared team standards.
