A pawn capturing a pawn may be shown as PxP if it is the only one possible, or as BPxP if only one of the player's Bishop's Pawns can capture another pawn, or as QBPxP, or PxQBP, or other such variations.
As a last resort, the ___location of a capture or the starting point of a move may also be shown, delimited with parentheses or a slash, as PxPBxN/QB6, or R(R3)-Q3. Sometimes only the rank or file is indicated, as R(6)xN.
 
Parentheses are also used to indicate promotion: P-R8(Q).
