Line 14:

Each move of a piece is indicated by a sequence of characters. Castling has its own sequence of characters and special indicators are added to the end of the sequence if relevant.

A move without capture is represented by the the piece's name, a hyphen and the square at the end of the move e.g. Kt-QB3 (knight to queen's bishop 3).

A move with capture is represented by the piece's name, a cross (x) and the destination square is identified by the name of the piece captured e.g. QxKt (queen captures knight).
