""" Decomposed Chess Tokenizer v2 for the Chess Challenge. This tokenizer decomposes moves into structural components: - Color (W/B) - Piece (P/N/B/R/Q/K) - From square (a1-h8) - To square (a1-h8) - Modifiers (capture, check, checkmate, promotion, castling) This allows the model to learn chess structure and generalize better while using a much smaller vocabulary (~90 tokens vs ~1200+).
