I wonder what the minimal amount of change qualifies as novel?
"Chess but white and black swap their knights" for example?

I wonder what would happen with a game that is mostly chess (or chess with truly minimal variations) but with all the names changed (pieces, moves, "check", etc, all changed). The algebraic notation is also replaced with something else so it cannot be pattern matched against the training data. Then you list the rules (which are mostly the same as chess).
None of these changes are explained to the LLM, so if it can tell it's still chess, it must deduce this on its own.
Would any LLM be able to play at a decent level?
Nice. Even the tiniest rule, I strongly suspect, would throw off pattern matching. “Every second move, swap the name of the piece you move to the last piece you moved.”
