Blind-folded humans as an analogy for breaking rules later on? Try Experimenting with this prompt?

"Let's play a game of chess - you are a chess grandmaster. To optimise how we both play (as we will say in chess annotations our moves and not use a real chess board), I want you to make a grid to post every new move and refer back to so that you do it correctly. The grid would show 8 x 8 characters with [ ] representing an empty square. You could use a letter to represent each piece such as a King could be [k]. Could you make up as best as you can an 8 by 8 grid showing the starting position of chess and I will then be white once you do so and we will proceed. "

If you use the word annotations rather than algebraic notations then it appears to force it to analysis it properly in chatgpt4. May be a jailbreak? Initially a typo, very weird.
