Instructions to use EvelienUU/chess-qwen-finetuned-v2 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use EvelienUU/chess-qwen-finetuned-v2 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="EvelienUU/chess-qwen-finetuned-v2")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("EvelienUU/chess-qwen-finetuned-v2")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("EvelienUU/chess-qwen-finetuned-v2")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Model Card for chess-qwen-finetuned-v2

Fine-tuned Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct for chess move prediction. Given a board position in FEN notation and a list of legal moves, the model outputs the best move in UCI format.

Model Description

Developed by: Evelien van Driel
Model type: Causal Language Model (decoder-only)
Language(s) (NLP): English
Finetuned from model: Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct

Direct Use

Chess move prediction as part of INFOMTALC 2026 (Utrecht University). Used inside a TransformerPlayer class that queries the model given a FEN position.

Training Details
