"""
Custom Chess Tokenizer for the Chess1MChallenge.
Goal: maximize legal-move rate in the evaluation.
Key idea:
- The evaluator only needs to recover the UCI move (e.g. "e2e4") from the model output.
It extracts squares like [a-h][1-8] and builds a move from the first 2 squares.
- So we normalize dataset tokens like "WPe2e4(x+)" to plain UCI "e2e4" (plus promotion suffix "q/r/b/n").
- We use a FIXED UCI vocabulary so there is (almost) no OOV -> far fewer [UNK] -> higher legal-move rate.
Vocabulary:
- All from-to square pairs: "a1a2", ..., excluding from==to.
- All promotion moves: e7e8[qrbn], a2a1[qrbn], including capture-promotions (still covered by from-to).

Notes:
- Input text may contain "extended UCI" tokens from the Lichess dataset

- We normalize those tokens to plain UCI: "e2e4", "e8g8", "e7e8q", ...
