Line 7:
"-" (no capture) or "x" (capture),
its final square at the end of the move,
and special indicators if any. The piece names are K ([[King (chess)|King)]],
Q ([[Queen (chess)|Queen)]], R [[Rook (CHESS)|(Rook)]], B [[Bishop (chess)|(Bishop)]], Kt [or often N] ([[Knight (chess)|Knight]]), and P [[Pawn (chess)|(Pawn)]];
note that English versions of [[algebraic notation]] use the same
abbreviations except for the Knight and Pawn.
Special indicators include ''e.p.'' ([[en passant]]), ''Ch'' [[Check (chess)|(Check)]],
Typically, the move will record only enough information to make the move unambiguous.
Line 33:
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 a move by Black.
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.
