Chess is one of the world's most popular games; it has been described not only as a game but also as an art and a science. Chess variants are forms of chess where the game is played with a different board, special fairy pieces or different rules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess   (4445 words)      Algebraic chess notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However it has the advantage of clarity, particularly for less skilled players or players learning the game. First, the files (that is, lines running parallel to the direction the players are facing) are labelled with lowercase letters a through h, from the left of the "white" player. Within the SAN (Standard Algebraic Notation) standard, the "x" capture indication is always required while the "e.p." en passant move suffix indication is always forbidden. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_chess_notation   (1128 words)      Chess Rules - Chess Notation - Chess Match Chess notation is used to record and describe a chess game. Portable Game Notation (.PGN) is a computer-processable format for recording chess games, both the moves and related data. Chess is played on a checkered board with 64 alternately colored dark and light squares. http://www.clearleadinc.com/site/chess-rule.html   (809 words)      Chess Notation Every serious chess player should learn how to score (record) a chess game. To notate a piece moving on the chessboard first write the piece identifier and then the square the piece is moving to. To notate a Pawn moving, just write the square it is moving to. http://www.logicalchess.com/hcc/scholastics/tutorials/notation.html   (894 words)      Descriptive chess notation - Free Encyclopedia Algebraic notation has the advantages of representing the same moves with fewer characters (on average), and using the same representation for the same location regardless of player. Thus, moving the King's pawn forward two squares as an initial move would be written as "e4" in algebraic notation, and as "P-K4" in descriptive notation. Note that the name for the same square has a different representation depending on whether the player is Black or White; the square notated as K4 for White is notated as K5 for Black. http://www.wacklepedia.com/d/de/descriptive_chess_notation.html   (444 words)      Descriptive chess notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In comparison, abbreviated algebraic notation represents the same moves with fewer characters, on average, and can avoid confusion since it always represents the same square in the same way. In Spanish descriptive notation the hyphen is not needed, as the rank serves as separator. Each file is given a name corresponding with the piece that occupies the first rank at the start of the game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_chess_notation   (796 words)      Matrix Chess Notation The game of Chess has its origin in the SHATRANJ game. This notation can be viewedas the pieces view of the board (that is the pieces are watching the square of the board in order to occupy them) and or the board view of the pieces (that is the squares of the chessboard are watching the pieces coming to attack, or occupy them.). So, the chess battle between white and black was mainly a pawn battle as pointed by Philidor The Pawns are the soul of the game. http://www.chessvariants.com/misc.dir/notation.html   (3629 words)      Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - Notation English Algebraic notation is based upon assigning numbers to the 8 ranks (rows) and lower case letters to the 8 files (columns) on the board. A move by a piece not involving a capture is noted by using the upper case/capitalized letter assigned to the piece followed by the lower case letter of the file and the number of the rank of the square to which the piece is moved. The first type of noting moves is a straight forward linear notation format across the lines of a page where the number represents the number of the move followed by White's move and then Black's move, in a sequential repeating descending order. http://www.markalowery.net/Chess/Notation/notation.html   (1886 words)      Duif's Place: Chess Notation Chess games can be written down in a simple, easy to read notation, so that you can send games to other people or study your own games later. In algebraic notation, each square has one and only one name (whether you are looking from White's side of the board or Black's). This is a form of algebraic, and also defines how the names of the players, the site location, and other comments will be written. http://www.jaderiver.com/chess/notate.html   (1021 words)      Algebraic Chess Notation - www.indepthinfo.com Thus, the square where the white queen begins the game is a4, not Q1 or Q8 as it would be in descriptive notation (depending on which side of the board you are sitting). Also, to make things quicker, a move can be designated simply by the place it is going to, as generally, there is only one piece of a particular type that can make the specified move. But to make notation quicker and easier, in practice the "P" is left off from pawn moves. http://www.indepthinfo.com/chess-notation/algebraic-notation.shtml   (473 words)      #[]#[] Chess Notation #[]#[] In Algebraic notation, everything is counted from the white's queen's rook's square, which is the lower left corner of the board. Algebraic is much easier to read then the more laborous descriptive notation, and is also much easier to record quickly and accurately while playing. Consider saying, "pawn to King 4" or "rook takes pawn", as opposed to "e4" or "rook takes d6." It makes sense to a child or novice, is easy to visulaize, and is much easier to teach to children. http://www.finitechess.com/notation.htm   (437 words)      Chess Move Record Nearly all good chess players record all the moves of all their serious games. In order to record and communicate chess moves, several written notations are widely used in books and by the players themselves.
