Somewhere we should treat the other notation elements someone is likely to encounter when reading about chess:
E.g. from http://misc.traveller.com/chess/beginner/notation/notation.html
- = both sides are considered equal here
- +/= white is slightly better
- =/+ black is slightly better
- +/- white has a clear advantage
- -/+ black has a clear advantage
- 1-0 white won
- 0-1 black won
- .5-.5 draw
- 1/2-1/2 draw
- ! an excellent move
- ? a blunder
- !? an interesting move that may not be best
- ?! a dubious move, but not easily refuted
It isn't clear that the algebraic notation page is the right place.

Is castling written with the letter O or the number 0?--Sonjaaa 11:31, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)
- It's the number. At least, that's what I've always assumed, and it's what the FIDE Handbook uses in its description of algebraic notation. --Zundark 12:16, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Should there also be mention of the notation Informator uses, which is algebraic, but with piece symbols instead of letter?--Gangster Octopus 23:07, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
