"""
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
