Line 84:
Does anyone know when [[Chess Life]] stopped using DN? I know they phased it out over several years, probably late 1970s - 1980s. They were probably the last major publication to use DN. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 19:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:I was just looking at some old issues, and I can state that as late as December 1975, the magazine ''Chess Life & Review'' was still using descriptive notation exclusively. They did have a box in every issue explaining algebraic notation and encouraging its use, however. Beyond that, I recall that Larry Evans' monthly column was the last holdout: he continued to discuss submissions in whatever form the reader happened to send. (Evans himself argued for algebraic as being unambiguous and universal whenever someone asked.) [[User:WHPratt|WHPratt]] ([[User talk:WHPratt|talk]]) 14:17, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
