Keyword Query : Quick Guide To Recording Chess Moves
Interpretation : You want to know how to record moves using Algebraic Chess Notation.
Step 1: Know the alpha-numeric coordinates given to both Ranks and Files, as shown in the following image:
Step 2: Know the codes/labels given to the Chess Pieces:
- N = kNight
- B = Bishop
- R = Rook
- Q = Queen
- K = King
To record the movement of Pieces, the CAPITAL LETTER is written first, then the square the Piece lands on.
For example: Nc3 = kNight moves to the ‘c3’ square.
Be aware that Pawns don’t have a Capital Letter to identify them …
The movement of Pawns is recorded with the square reference only … E.g. c4 means a Pawn has moved to the ‘c4‘ square.
