I don't understand why educated people expect that an LLM would be able to play chess at a decent level.

It has no idea about the quality of it's data. "Act like x" prompts are no substitute for actual reasoning and deterministic computation which clearly chess requires.

You shouldn't but there's lots of things that LLMs can do that educated people shouldn't expect it to be able to do.
