| | Custom Chess Tokenizer for the Chess Challenge. |
| | |
| | This tokenizer uses sub-structural tokenization: each move is decomposed into |
| | its components (piece, source square, destination square, suffix) instead of |
| | treating the whole move as a single token. |
| | |
| | Example: WPe2e4 -> [P, e2, e4] (color is implicit from move number) |
| | BNg8f6(x) -> [N, g8, f6, (x)] |
| | |
| | This approach: |
| | - Reduces vocabulary from ~1200 to ~80 tokens |
| | - Enables generalization across similar moves |
| | - Eliminates [UNK] tokens for rare moves |
| | - Saves parameters in the embedding layer |
| | |
| | The dataset format uses: |
| | - W/B prefix for White/Black (ignored - implicit from position) |
| | - 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 |
