Algebraic Notation

Moves are shown by giving the piece symbol followed by the destination square. For instance, if a
knight moves to the squre marked in the diagram, this is written as J3 in algebraic notation. If
two pieces of the same type can move to the same square, more information is given. For instance,
if there are knights on gl and e5, then the one on e5 moving to f3 is written as Jef3.
For pawn moves, only the arrival square is given (e.g. e4 means that a pawn moves to the e4-
square). For pawn captures, the file the pawn is leaving is also given. Thus exf4 means that a pawn
on the e-ile makes a capture that brings it to the f4-square.
