kind of stupid question

i really dont understand the chess moves

like written out

some one wanna kindly explain to me

thx much appreciated xD

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_chess_notation

Chess moves are increasingly written out in Algebraic annotation.  When you visit:

you will find sufficient information to answer your question. The US Chess Federation uses this type of annotation and other federations and associations have followed suit.  I hope that this helps. 

come on! you have to show OUR article!!!! :D

Hey joeyson! Let me start by saying that THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS STUPID QUESTIONS, only missed opportunities when you don't ask them. I think it's great that you are asking this question.  I had the same problem when I first learned how to play chess. I finally get the basic rules memorized and then someone suggests I try learning some tactics he found in a book. He hands me the book and I leave. I got home, cracked open the book, and found myself staring at a book full of gibberish. It might as well have been written in an ancient language. Of course, I called my friend and asked him what I was staring at. "Hey man, it's in algebraic notation." Great I thought, I flunked high school algebra so how was I supposed to figure this out? Ignore the word algebra. Go to the sites suggested by Erik and Batgirl. It is really easy to figure out and makes a great deal of sense for writing out games or annotating them for future play. Trust me when I say, if I can do it so can you. It will really help you and is the only way to get anything out of chess books and diagrams. It just takes a little bit of work and in return you'll get a whole bunch of reward!

k thanks guys really appreciate

i can finally understand what some of you guys are saying!!

thx much

I kinda miss the descriptive notation though. P-K4 ^_^

I picked up an old chess book from 1965 which had the moves written in descriptive notation. Luckily I knew how to read it. It's good to know if you pick up an old book.

Oh erik!  How could I overlook your (our) article?  I am too new on this site.  Suffices to say that there are plenty of resources on Internet that will tell you how Algebraic annotation works.  We'll give priority to yours though

prority!.... does that tell you what i mean?

me? i the same  hehehe...

 

Although I'm a novice chess player, I understand algebraic notation just fine... It's the subtleties of Chessbase and/or Chess Assistant that have me at a lost. I can't make heads or tails of all of that Bc4 %04= -0.15 CAP business.
