Quick, type in the move before he changes his mind!! OK, you'd better type it in the box for him!īlack's moved his Queen out along the diagonal!Īnd just look at what's happened! It's CHECKMATE!! Oh no! White's just played another pawn move. Go ahead and make my day - enter the move in the box below, just like you did last time. Hey, guess what? Black just moved his pawn from e7 to e5. All you do is enter FOUR characters: the starting square and the finishing square of the move.įor example, White's just moved his Pawn from f2 to f3, so you type in "f2f3". Just to confuse you, we're going to teach you yet another way to write your moves down. When we do this we'll use the notation you've just learned.īut sometimes we will ask you to type in the move you think is best. ![]() When you go through the other lessons, we will sometimes ask you to choose one of four moves. So we write e5xd6ep (ep is short for en passant.) Get it? Fine! His Pawn will move from e5 to d6, CAPTURING the Black Pawn as it PASSES that square. Remember the en passant rule? In this position White can capture the Black Pawn on d5 en passant! e4-e5 d7-d5, which should, with any luck, give you the position on the left. (You hadn't forgotten how to castle, had you?)įinally, play these moves on your board (see how we write down the move numbers.)ġ. The number of Os is the same as the number of squares the ROOK moves. If you CASTLE on the KING SIDE you write down O-O.Īnd if you CASTLE on the QUEEN SIDE you write Tell me, how would you write that move?Ī couple of other things. Black CAPTURES the Knight with his Bishop - and it's CHECK again! How should we write it?Īnd White, of course, CAPTURES the Bishop with his Pawn. White gets out of CHECK by sticking his Knight in the way. We indicate a CHECK by a plus sign at the end of the move so it's Bf8-b4+. What's the right way to write that move?īlack moves his Bishop to play a CHECK on b4. What do you know? White's taken back with his Knight. To write down a capture, we put a cross (a letter x or a times sign) instead of the dash. Hey, watch out! Black's just taken something! Play the moves on your board and see for yourself. White's move is written Ng1-f3 and Black's move is Nb8-c6. In this position, both sides have moved a Knight. K for King, Q for Queen, R for Rook, B for Bishop and N for kNight. If you move something other than a Pawn, you put the letter of the piece first. So White's move was e2-e4, and Black's reply was e7-e5. To write down a Pawn move in LONG NOTATION we write down the starting square for the pawn, then a DASH (or MINUS SIGN), then the finishing square for the move. You might find it helpful to get out a board and play the moves yourself. Here's a position after both players have made their first moves. In this part of the course we'll use LONG NOTATION in the lessons, so that's what we'll show you now. There are two forms of NOTATION: LONG NOTATION, in which you write the starting square and the finishing square of your move, and SHORT NOTATION, in which you only write the finishing square. Now we look at how to write your moves down. If you're so smart, can you do it blindfold? That wasn't too hard, was it? Now tell me where to find the Black King. OK, you remember the names of the squares?Ĭlick in the box below and type in the name of the square where the White Queen stands. If you get them all right you'll get a certificate. I'll be stopping to ask you questions during the lesson, so pay attention! Sorry, it's rather boring, I know, but you need to understand what's in this lesson before you go on to the rest of the course. In this lesson you'll learn more about reading and writing chess moves. ![]()
