Full leaderboard

ChessBench Elo ratings compare LLMs within this benchmark only. They are not equivalent to Chess.com, FIDE, or other chess ratings. Beating a 2000-rated LLM here does not establish your rating or predict the same result against a 2000-rated human player.

How to read this comparison

Each thinking setup has its own rating and completed-game record. Higher thinking settings do not guarantee more wins. The figures above use the same saved data as the leaderboard.

Time includes model requests per accepted move. Cost uses fully priced completed benchmark games. Output includes reported reasoning tokens. Human challenges are separate.
