 | | First, the files (that is, lines running perpendicular to the direction the players are facing) are labelled with lowercase letters a through h, from the left of the "white" player. | | | However it has the advantage of clarity, particularly for less skilled players or players learning the game. | | | 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. |

| | Since algebraic notation and coordinate notation are closely related, it was decided to keep it the same, and use the _arrival square_ of the pawn, and not the square the captured pawn stood on. | | | Algebraic is the “official” notation used in tournaments and in all modern books, and it is kind of a cross between descriptive and coordinate. | | | This is the same as algebraic in every way, except that square the piece originated from is also indicated, and a dash is used to separate the originating square and the arrival square for a regular move. |

| | 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 hypen 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. |

| | 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. |

| | Algebraic notation assigns each of these squares a name that it is identified by so that you are able to tell where a particular piece is moving to. | | | The files (the vertical rows of the chess board) are each assigned a letter (a-h) and each of the ranks (the horizontal rows of the chess board) are each assigned a number (1-8). | | | Ok, believe it or not, that's all there is to Algebraic notation, but there are a few curves that I'm going to throw at you now. |

| | Algebraic notation is more clear to computers, and once it is digested by the individual player, it can be just as clear in conversation. | | | As it sometimes proved confusing when games were recorded and is not precise (as each square has two names) it has been largely replaced in recent years by a system known as algebraic notation. | | | As noted above, the ultimate aim of chess notation is to be able to record games. |

| | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | Chess notation is thus the special written" language" of chess players, making it possible for a single book to contain hundreds of games by great players, or thousands of opening variations. | | | Stamma's system was almost identical to modern algebraic notation, with the files of the board designated " a-h" and the ranks numbered "1-8." However, he tried to make the notation completely international by using standard piece names as well as standard letters and numbers for the squares. | | | Thus, the king's rook was written as "H" instead of "R" throughout the game, because it began on the h-file; for similar reasons the king was always "E" and the queen "D," the queen's knight was "B," etc., with each piece being named for its starting file. |

| | The square that is a1 in algebraic notation is noted as QR1 by white and QR8 by black. | | | As checks are ignored, moves possible by pinned pieces are considered to cause ambiguities, so, if a player has two pieces of the same type that could move to the same square, and one of them is pinned, then still moving the other to that square is not legal. | | | The game is still frequently played, and has also been used as a theme for fairy chess problems. |

| | In the case of a capture "en passant", the arrival square is the one on which the capturing pawn finally rests, and "e.p." is added to the notation, for example, 14. | | | If both rooks are on the first rank and one of them moves to d1, the notation might be Rad1. | | | Because there is no abbreviation used for pawns, pawn captures include the original file, the "x", and the arrival square, for example, cxd4, exf5, gxh7. |

| | to write algebraic notation you start off by writing the abreviation of the piece(pawns don't have an abreviation), then the vertical row(also called files), and after that the horizontal rows(also called ranks). | | | Every piece has an abreviation, for example: King=K, Queen=Q, Rook=R, Bishop=B, and Knight=N. The vertical rows on the chess board have names also, the left hand row of the board(for white) is called "a" and the one next to it, "b" and so on. | | | The lowest horizontal row (for white) is called "1" and working its way up to "8", the farthest from white. |
