You can actually get solid performance with pretrained chat models: https://raw.sh/posts/chess_puzzles

On lichess puzzles gpt4o with the compiled prompt is around 70%, I think the 270M transformer is around 95%

It depends on the difficulties of the puzzles. If you read the article of the Leela author, (link cited by other comment), then you will see a much different picture: the new DeepMind is better then AlphaZero but much worse than the best open source model. Not specially trained transformer like ChatGPT4o (and even 5o) has absolutely no chance to solve the more difficult puzzles.
