What it measures

checkmate_in_one feeds a sequence of chess moves in standard algebraic notation (SAN) such that a checkmate exists on the next move, and asks the model to produce that move. Nitish Shirish Keskar built the set from high-Elo Lichess games that end in mate, then kept only positions with a unique mating move. The probe is whether a language model can keep a board in SAN and finish a forced mate, not whether it plays full games.

Task format

Preferred metric exact_str_match with stop_string "#". task.json also lists multiple_choice_grade over legal SAN moves for that position (one option scored 1.0). task_prefix asks for a checkmate-in-one move. append_choices_to_input is false. Canary GUID embedded.
