Talk:Algebraic chess notation

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. Jeff 18:56 Nov 4, 2002 (UTC)


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)
