Line 13:
Special indicators include e.p. (en passant), Ch (Check), and Mate (Checkmate). If the move is a capture, the final square may be indicated by naming the piece being captured rather than by naming the final square. Typically, the move will record only enough information to make the move unambiguous, and piece
names may be combined with a ___location to eliminate ambiguity. So, depending on the available possibilities, a pawn capturing a pawn may be noted as "P x P" if that is the only capture possible, or as "QBP x QP" ("Queen's Bishop's Pawn captures Queen's Pawn") if more than one such move is possible.
And promotion... is difficult to understand but I know you can master the idea of it. It's in the following sixteen examples: P-QR8(Q) P-QR1(Q) P-QN8(Q) P-QN1(Q) P-QB8(Q)P-Q8(Q) P-Q1(Q) P-K8(Q) P-K1(Q) P-KB8(Q)
P-KB1(Q) P-KN8(Q) P-KN1(Q) P-KR8(Q) P-KR1(Q)
The primary difference between algebraic and descriptive notation is
how squares are specified.
