No, because we can, in fact, generally read the rules of a game and then follow them. It's actually a hobby for many of us.

This misses the point completely.

How many times do you think chess.com prevents illegal moves from being executed? Even Super GM's fall for mate-in-1's occasionally, which is functionally equivalent to missing a pin or a check. This idea that LLMs failing to only ever make legal moves undermines their intelligence doesn't pass the smell test.
