m →Notation for moves: article consistency (However! I don't think using Ndashes in descriptive notation is a good idea, it looks odd/non-standard, and the "to–from" justification for Ndash here doesn't hold water, seeing that long form algebraic notation uses hyphen not Ndash, e.g. e2-e4, Ng1-f3, etc.) |

Line 27:
* ''{{chessgloss|capture|Capture}}'': A capture is notated by the piece's name, a cross ("x"), and the name of the piece captured, e.g. '''QxN''' (queen captures knight).
* ''[[Castling]]'': The notation '''O-O''' is used for castling {{chessgloss|kingside}} and '''O-O-O''' for castling {{chessgloss|queenside}}. The word "Castles" is sometimes used instead, particularly in older literature, in which case it may be necessary to disambiguate between kingside and queenside castling; this may be done by specifying the rook or side, i.e. "Castles KR" or "Castles queenside".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Reinfeld|first=Fred|title=The Seventh Book of Chess|publisher=Barnes & Noble|year=1963|isbn=9780064632744|___location=U.S.}}</ref>
* ''[[Promotion (chess)|Promotion]]'': Parentheses are used to indicate promotion, with the promotion piece enclosed in parentheses, e.g. '''
* ''Special terms and symbols'': Special indicators that are appended to the move include "e.p." (''[[en passant]]''), "ch" or "+" ([[Check (chess)|check]]), "?" (a [[question mark]] for a bad move), "!" (an [[exclamation mark]] for a good move), "mate" or "++" ([[checkmate]]), "[[Rules of chess#Resigning|resigns]]" and "[[draw (chess)|draw]]".
