How Does Chess Notation Work?
- Chess notation combines the chess piece moved with the new square it has moved to, on the chessboard.
- Chess notation uses abbreviations for each piece, using capitalized letters.
- King = K, Queen = Q, Bishop = B, Knight = N, Rook = R, Pawn = no notation.
How do you keep chess notation?
Keeping score is simple. All you do is write down each move that each player makes using a letter for the name of the piece and a square name (letter and number) for the square the piece ends up on. This way you can replay your games to show off your winning games and understand what happened if you lost.
