Dataset Card for Lichess Puzzles

Dataset Description

A list of Antichess openings.

Dataset Creation

This dataset was compiled by tolius.

Dataset Usage

Using the datasets library:

from datasets import load_dataset

dset = load_dataset("Lichess/antichess-chess-openings", split="train")

Using the pandas library:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/Lichess/antichess-chess-openings/data/train-00000-of-00001.parquet")

Using the polars library:

import polars as pl

df = pl.read_parquet('hf://datasets/Lichess/antichess-chess-openings/data/train-00000-of-00001.parquet')

Dataset Details

Dataset Sample

One row of the dataset looks like this:

{
 'name': 
 'pgn': 
 'uci': 
 'epd':
}

Dataset Fields

Every row of the dataset contains the following fields:

name: string, the name of the opening in English.
pgn: int, the sequence of moves leading to the opening position. If not unique, the moves are the most common ones leading to that opening.
uci: int, the same moves described by the pgn field in UCI notation.
epd: int, the EPD (FEN without move numbers) of the opening position, en passant field only if legal

Dataset Conventions

Title case is used for opening names.
Names are structured like Opening family: Variation, Subvariation, ..., e.g., Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation, English Attack.
The suggested way to classify games is to play moves backwards until a named position is found. To make this work well with common transpositions, multiple entries for a single opening may be added.
However, each name has a unique shortest line. If necessary, a distinguishing move is appended, e.g., King's Gambit Accepted: Schurig Gambit, with Bb5.
