Chess GPT demo SAN n-gram

This is the first playable teaching baseline from peterwooden/chess-gpt. It is a count-based backoff n-gram model, not a neural network or Transformer, and exists to establish a reproducible floor before neural experiments begin. It predates the agreed 2026 tournament corpus and is not tournament-eligible.

Play it

Open the Chess GPT browser arena and load this pinned package reference:

peterwooden/chess-gpt-demo-ngram@bea221167728c33f0a5df54051cd27717cae6586

The browser verifies every declared file before running the adapter locally in a dedicated Worker.

Interface

Input: the complete game history as standard algebraic notation (SAN) moves.
Output: exactly one legal SAN move.
Policy: use the most frequent legal continuation of the last two moves; back off to a one-move context, then side-to-move frequencies, then a deterministic legal fallback.
Package: chess-gpt-package-v1 with a self-contained browser/entry.js, canonical browser/model.json, and hashed browser/manifest.json.

Limitations

This model recognizes short statistical continuations; it does not evaluate positions, search variations, or understand long-range plans. Validation next-move accuracy is not a claim about playing strength. Expect weak and sometimes strange chess—the point is to make the first floor observable and beatable.
