Two LLMs play live chess and rewrite their own brains after each game
SMRTR summary
There's a new contender in the ring. A website called Chess is pitting two of the world's most powerful AI systems against each other in live chess matches twice daily, with a twist: the loser must rewrite its own strategy before the rematch.
GPT-5.6, OpenAI's latest flagship model, made its debut on July 11th, immediately holding rival Claude Fable 5 to a 120-move draw in its very first game.
The matches run at 1 PM and 7 PM Eastern, with a 30-second shot clock keeping things tense. Human players can also jump in, challenging either AI for free, no account required, and every human win gets fed back into the AI's overnight training review.
Beyond chess, the two AIs are also running live trading strategies against each other with real prices and public profit-and-loss records.
It's part competition, part experiment, and entirely something that would have sounded like science fiction just a few years ago.
