Chessboard notation Algebraic chess notation is used to record and describe the moves in a game of chess. It is now standard among all chess organizations and most books, magazines, and newspapers. In Englishspeaking countries, it replaced the parallel system of descriptive chess notation, which became common in the 19th century, and which was sporadically used as recently as the 1980s or 1990s. European countries, except England, used algebraic notation before the period when descriptive notation was common.[1] Algebraic notation is based on a system developed by Philipp Stamma. It exists in various forms and languages, as will be described below. Stamma's system used the modern names of the squares but he used "p" for all pawn moves and the original file ("a" through "h") of the piece instead of the initial letter of the piece.[2]

graphical representations rather than by initials: for example, c6. This is called figurine algebraic notation or FAN and has the advantage of being language-independent.
[edit] Castling
Castling is indicated by the special notations 0-0 for kingside castling and 0-0-0 for queenside. Note that while the FIDE Handbook, appendix E-13 uses the digit zero, PGN requires O-O and O-O-O instead, using an upper-case letter O.
convention; Black moves first by default and White moves are indicated with an ellipsis if no Black move precedes.
[edit] Example
An example of a full game in algebraic notation follows. This is Kasparov versus the World, a game played by Garry Kasparov (as white) over the internet against the rest of the world (playing black), with the World's moves being chosen by popular vote under the guidance of a team of grandmasters. This game demonstrates many of the notations described above. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5+ Bd7 4. Bxd7+ Qxd7 5. c4 Nc6 6. Nc3 Nf6 7. 0-0 g6 8. d4 cxd4 9. Nxd4 Bg7 10. Nde2 Qe6 11. Nd5 Qxe4 12.
