:::It was indeed expected that a check would always be flagged in the descriptive notation. I was just commenting on the fact that some annotators felt that the presence or absence of the check symbol was sufficient to disambiguate similar-looking moves, while others didn't. Someone reading an old game collection might be confused if not .aware of this. [[User:WHPratt|WHPratt]] ([[User talk:WHPratt|talk]]) 20:31, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
:::One more thing: as decisions regarding the rules of chess are usually eminently logical (I attribute thisn to this excellent taste of the people involved), I'm surprised that a potentially-ambiguous as move will be recorded as, i.e., "KPxP". It seems to me that "PxBP" is much better due to the fact that a capturing pawn ''always'' changes its identity. The KP was a KP when the move started, but it was ''itself'' a BP when the move ended. The enemy BP, however, lived and died a BP. I'd therefore recommend "PxBP" (or "PxQBP" or "PxKBP" if necessary) as preferable to "KPxP" -- the file of the ''captured'' pawn should prevail. I'm being picky, but logical. [[User:WHPratt|WHPratt]] ([[User talk:WHPratt|talk]]) 03:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
