| """ | |
| Custom Chess Tokenizer for the Chess Challenge. | |
| This tokenizer uses a compact hybrid scheme optimized for small models: | |
| - Frequent moves are single tokens (e.g., WPe2e4). | |
| - Rare moves fall back to two tokens: piece+from (e.g., WPe2) and to-square (e.g., e4). | |
| - Promotions add a third token (q/r/b/n). | |
| 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 | |
