Jev + Chess: Building a Non-Autoregressive Game Decision Engine with Zero Illegal Moves and Sub-2ms Board Evaluation

Generative LLMs frequently hallucinate illegal moves and struggle with move latency when playing chess. By reformulating game evaluation as a single-pass candidate classification problem using Typesafe Jev, developers achieved sub-2ms move selection, 100% legal compliance, and competitive 2450+ blitz ELO ratings without traditional alpha-beta search tree bottlenecks.
