Maybe a future frontier LLM could approach the problem by first building its own stockfish, then applying the subsequent results
Maybe a future LLM after that could approach the problem by first simulating a human brain, then learning from the ‘human’ gameplay.
Just kidding of course
Or maybe an LLM could just tool call stockfish and doesn’t need to have more than a basic understanding of chess. The bitter lesson seems extraordinarily wasteful on the compute side.
