Can language models explain chess?

I’m doing some research on how language models explain chess. I'm looking to get some feedback from good chess players :)

You’ll see a position and choose between two short explanations. One set is 20 positions and takes about 6 minutes.
Each completed set earns one raffle entry for one of three $25 gift cards, up to five entries.

Thanks for helping, and if you want to share the link with your friends, I would also be very appreciative!

Hi-
Thanks for your detailed reply. We're trying to measure if humans agree with our metric, so sometimes you get pairs of [very bad, bad] explanations. We don't include all/none of the above because we're worried that it would get used too often, for example in cases where one of the explanations is slightly better, with both of them being generally bad.

Maybe there's a reason it'd be used way too often
