Right, at least as of the ~GPT3 model it was just "predict what you would see in a chess game", not "what would be the best move". So (IIRC) users noted that if you made bad move, then the model would also reply with bad moves because it pattern matched to bad games. (I anthropomorphized this as the model saying "oh, we're doing dumb-people-chess now, I can do that too!")
But it also predicts moves where the text says "black won the game, [proceeds to show the game]". To minimize loss on that it would need to from context try and make it so white doesn't make critical mistakes.
