Leela Chess Zero T91 training games, lossless LGS store

All of Leela Chess Zero's test91 (T91) self-play training data, converted once into a compact, lossless columnar store (LGS). Every field of every lc0 V6 training record is kept: search values (root, best, played, original/raw network), moves-left estimates, visit counts, the full policy (as visit counts), the played and best moves, and the game result. Boards are not stored; replaying the played moves from each game's start position reproduces them, and the full V6 records, exactly.

The store is meant as the single source for building Stockfish-style binpacks and for other experiments, without downloading Leela's raw tarballs again.

Layout

  • shards/YYYY-MM/<tarball stem>.lgs: one shard per Leela hourly training tarball (training-run2-test91-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.tar on data.lczero.org). Each shard has a JSON sidecar with its converter summary and checksum.
  • docs/FORMAT.md: the format spec.
  • tools/: a Python reader (lgs.py) and validator.

Side files with extra per-position columns (Stockfish filter flags, relabels) may be added under side/ later; they never change the shards.

What is in a shard

One row per position (one lc0 training record), grouped by game:

Level One row is Holds
Game one self-play game game id, start position (Chess960 index per side; 518 = standard chess), result, how it ended
Position one searched position played and best move (lc0 policy index), visits, root/best/played/orig q and d, moves-left values, policy KLD, flags, raw result, Syzygy-rescored result, Syzygy WDL
Policy one legal move of one position visit count

About 50 bytes per position (zstd 19), versus about 203 in Leela's gzip files. Roughly 4% of T91 games are Chess960 (symmetric start positions); they are included.

Results: result_q is the real game result. tb_result is lc0's rescorer Syzygy-rescored result with deblunder off. Nothing in the store is deblundered.

Reading

import lgs  # tools/lgs.py; needs numpy and zstandard (python-chess for replay)
sh = lgs.Shard("shards/2026-01/training-run2-test91-20260116-1217.lgs")
best_q = sh.column("best_q")            # float32, one per position
for g in sh.games(limit=1):
    rp = g.replay()                      # boards via python-chess
    probs = g.probabilities(rp)          # exact 1858-float policies

A C++ header-only reader is in the converter's source tree (src/trainingdata/lgs_writer.h and the companion reader).

Provenance

  • Source: Leela Chess Zero test91 training data, ODbL.
  • Converter: lc0 rescorer store mode, fork xu-shawn/lc0, branch t91-store (commit recorded in every shard header), 6-piece Syzygy WDL and DTZ tablebases.
  • Each shard was checked on conversion: every record's board, castling, 50-move counter and legal-move set must match the replay. Games that can't be stored losslessly are listed in the shard header's skipped_games.
