| Custom Chess Tokenizer for the Chess Challenge. | |
| This tokenizer treats each move as a single token using the extended UCI notation | |
| from the Lichess dataset (e.g., WPe2e4, BNg8f6). | |
| The dataset format uses: | |
| - W/B prefix for White/Black | |
| - 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 | |
