Yeah, I just smashed the input strings into a map, e.g.

        p1poss := map[string]int{
                "A X": 1 + 3, "A Y": 2 + 6, "A Z": 3 + 0,
                "B X": 1 + 0, "B Y": 2 + 3, "B Z": 3 + 6,
                "C X": 1 + 6, "C Y": 2 + 0, "C Z": 3 + 3,
        }

Didn't even have to parse/split the incoming string.

I thought about make a map of possibilities, ended up doing this:

def part2(game: list[str, str]) -> int:
    offset = ord("A")
    score_dict = {
        "X": ((ord(game[0]) - offset - 1) % 3) + 1,
        "Y": ord(game[0]) - offset + 4,
        "Z": ((ord(game[0]) - offset + 1) % 3) + 7,
    }
    return score_dict[game[1]]

Probably less readable overall though
