 Algebraic Chess Notation What is it? Algebraic chess notation is a system of symbols that enables chess players to conduct games with long-distance opponents. Give me an example! Algebraic chess notation has symbols for all the chessmen, as well as every square on the chessboard. It also has symbols for "move to" and "capture" so that players can indicate the consequences of their moves. Players have used algebraic chess notation to send their moves to opponents all over the world by mail for years and now you can email your moves back and forth with long-distance opponents instantly over the Internet! What a great way to play chess with people on the other side of the world - or up in the space shuttle, even! Copyright ©2010, PCS Edventures, Inc. All Rights Reserved. |
