Learning the Latent Rules of a Game from Data: A Chess Story
Abstract
We demonstrate that small pretrained foundational generative language models with millions of parameters can learn the latent rules of a process from data associated with the process. Inspired by Stefan Zweig's novella "Schachnovelle," also known as "The Royal Game" in English, we show that 28M and 125M parameter pretrained foundational small language models (SLMs) can be instruction fine-tuned with 1,000-to-1,000,000 examples to learn the rules of chess, propose legal moves, and accurately solve chess problems. We also explore the impact of successive language model fine-tuning epochs on improved outcomes and demonstrate reductions in model hallucinations by increasing the number of instruction fine-tuning examples.

Instruction fine-tuned small language models (SLMs) with 28M and 125M parameters can learn chess rules and solve chess problems using only single-move game play data. Additionally, increasing the number of fine-tuning examples reduces model hallucinations and enhances performance, highlighting the importance of relevant data in customizing GenAI language model pipelines.
