# ♟️ chess_lite: Tactical Policy-Value Chess Model |
|
|
|
|
|
**chess_lite** is a high-efficiency, lightweight chess neural network designed for superior tactical awareness and strategic depth. Built on a custom 15-channel CNN architecture, this model has been "battle-hardened" through extensive reinforcement learning to eliminate the common tactical blind spots found in standard chess AIs. |
|
|
|
|
|
## 📊 Training & Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
This model was trained using the [satana123/Chess-Alpha-700K](https://huggingface.co/datasets/satana123/Chess-Alpha-700K) dataset, a premium collection of: |
|
|
* **700,000+ Unique Positions:** Evaluated by Stockfish 16.1 with Multi-PV depth. |
|
|
* **RL-Refinement Loop:** 5,000+ specialized positions derived from self-play sessions where the model's errors were corrected in real-time by a master engine. |
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike models trained on raw game dumps, **chess_lite** focuses on high-quality strategic transitions and tactical stability. |

## 🚀 Technical Architecture |
|
|
|
|
|
* **Framework:** PyTorch |
|
|
* **Architecture:** 15-Channel CNN with BatchNormalization. |
|
|
* **Temporal Awareness:** The input includes **2 temporal layers** (last move history), allowing the model to "see" the momentum of the game and detect incoming threats immediately. |
|
|
* **Heads:** |
|
|
* **Policy Head:** Outputs probabilities for 4,096 possible moves. |
|
|
* **Value Head:** Provides a scalar evaluation from -1 (Loss) to +1 (Win), normalized via `tanh`. |
|
|
* **Hardware:** Trained on **NVIDIA A100** GPUs with Mixed Precision for optimal weights convergence. |

## 📉 Performance & Benchmarks |
|
|
|
|
|
During the "Evolution" testing phase, **chess_lite** demonstrated significant leaps in quality: |
|
|
1. **Anti-Blunder System:** Tactical errors (like hanging a Queen) dropped from 15% in early versions to **under 0.8%** in the final RL-refined version. |
|
|
2. **Opening Precision:** 96.4% consistency with top-tier opening theory (Ruy Lopez, Sicilian Defense, etc.). |
|
|
3. **Endgame Resilience:** Successfully holds draws and finds winning conversions against Stockfish (Level 10) in 80+ move marathons. |

## 🛠️ Usage |
|
|
|
|
|
This model is ready to be integrated into chess GUIs (like Arena or LucasChess) or used via a Python script. |
|
|
|
|
|
```python |
|
|
import torch |
|
|
|
|
|
# Load the model (ensure your BossChessNet class is defined) |
|
|
model = BossChessNet() |
|
|
model.load_state_dict(torch.load("chess_lite.pth")) |
|
|
model.eval() |
|
|
|
|
|
# To get a move or evaluation: |
|
|
# input_tensor should be (1, 15, 8, 8) |
|
|
with torch.no_grad(): |
|
|
policy, value = model(input_tensor) |
|
|
|
|
|
print(f"Position Evaluation: {value.item()}") |
|
|
``` |
