# 100M Random Chess Boards
This dataset contains 100 million randomly sampled chess board positions. The process to generate each board state is as follows:
1. **Game Simulation**
- 100 million games were played, with each move being randomly determined until the game ended (i.e., until checkmate, stalemate, or draw).
2. **Board Sampling**
- From each game, a single random board state was selected at some point in the game.
Columns other than **fen** represent statistics for the sample. Most boards are sampled only once, however for example, the most common board, the initial board, is sampled 378,310 times. This comprises a single row with each column other than **fen** being 378,310 long.
# Columns
- **fen**: The FEN (Forsyth-Edwards Notation) representing the randomly sampled board position.
- **n_moves**: The number of moves made from the start of the game to reach the sampled FEN position.
- **term_n_moves**: The total number of moves in the random game before it terminated.
- **term_reason**: The reason the game ended. ([Codes](https://python-chess.readthedocs.io/en/latest/core.html#chess.Termination))
- **term_white_wins**: Indicates whether white won the game (true/false). null indicates a tie. Note that all games are complete, but the sampled board position is from an intermediate point.
