G'day, Jerry.
You were chatting to Didier Weerts
about "Novice..." on 19-Jul-97

I'm still trying to work out algebraic notation. I myself as you know
use, ( I think ) long algebraic. I've only worked this out by seeing
your moves above where you put in 1. e2 - e4.
From this I can deduce the short algebraic notation for the same move
would be e4.
Ummmmmmmm...... Am I right???
Would I be correct in assuming that when you move a pawn you just put
in the square the pawn has moved to?
What do you use when there are two pawns that may move to the same
square? For example... Say I had a pawn at d4 whilst playing white and
you had a pawn at c5 and another pawn at e5. Say further that it was
your move and you're playing black. You ( for some reason ) want to
take my pawn on d4 using the pawn you have at c5 as opposed to using
the one at e5.
Is it c5 x d4 ??
Say further that you had a Knight on c6 and you wanted to take the same
pawn on d4 with the Knight. Would you use the notation Nc6 x d4?
Once upon a time I just used to use the other notation. :-)
I'm not even sure what it's called but say you were white and the first
move you wanted to make was g1 - f3. I would have used N - KB3.
Your comments would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
