This repository contains a gigantic curated chess dataset meant for machine learning. Currently the dataset contains approximately 700 million positions in PGN format, split across 1000 files. Huge credits to the following main sources:

  • Lumbra's Database (filtered 2600+)
  • Lichess Puzzle Database
  • Computer Chess: TCEC Database, CCRL

Some stats (subject to change):

  • Games per file: 9808/9809
  • Positions per file: ~700,000
  • Total train positions: 636364254
  • Total test positions: 70858107

The supporting dataset code and training platform, known as ChessBot-Battleground, is found at: https://github.com/KeithG33/ChessBot-Battleground/

Note: The dataset requires trust_remote_code=True to parse the pgn data. See the code in ChessBot-Dataset.py if you'd like to verify first
