 | I try with Gemma 4 E4B via llama-sever to play chess at https://www.chess.com/play/computer (any platform or site you convenient), result quite unexpected for me. Result: 9 moves before it make cheating move (like try to move a pawn take aside enemy) and brain-dead at 25 moves as it stuck in loop try to switch side, cheat move and create a non-exited piece to win a match.
Enable Reasoning : not help at all.
System Message : Depend, it could be better, but I got it worse even with rule and how each piece move. My though before this test is LLM might be loss as it's quite generic on doing thing, but I never thought it didn't even able to reach the end of a match, at best only half way. [link] [comments] |
How many move your favorite LLM model before it's cheat then brain-dead in chess game ?
