| """ | |
| Custom Chess Tokenizer for the Chess Challenge. | |
| This tokenizer uses sub-structural tokenization: each move is decomposed into | |
| its components (piece, source square, destination square, suffix) instead of | |
| treating the whole move as a single token. | |
| Example: WPe2e4 -> [P, e2, e4] (color is implicit from move number) | |
| BNg8f6(x) -> [N, g8, f6, (x)] | |
| This approach: | |
| - Reduces vocabulary from ~1200 to ~80 tokens | |
| - Enables generalization across similar moves | |
| - Eliminates [UNK] tokens for rare moves | |
| - Saves parameters in the embedding layer | |
| The dataset format uses: | |
| - W/B prefix for White/Black (ignored - implicit from position) | |
| - Piece letter: P=Pawn, N=Knight, B=Bishop, R=Rook, Q=Queen, K=King | |
| - Source and destination squares (e.g., e2e4) | |
| - Special suffixes: (x)=capture, (+)=check, (+*)=checkmate, (o)/(O)=castling | |
