+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).
+
+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
