"""
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).
We normalize moves by stripping special suffixes:
- (x)=capture, (+)=check, (+*)=checkmate, (o)/(O)=castling
Example normalization:
WBb5c6(x) -> WBb5c6
BPd7c6(x) -> BPd7c6
... (x)(+) -> ... (both removed)
