NotationChess notation is a method for recording a chess match using symbols. (See notation key below.) For all pieces except pawns, write a simple chess move by starting with the piece's letter symbol, followed by its destination, as in "Na4", which means "knight moves to a4". While the other pieces get their own letter (K,Q,R,N,B), the pawn gets no letter-symbol. A pawn move is recorded by writing its starting location, followed by its destination, as in "b4 c5", which means "pawn at b4 moves to c5". Notation Key
Which Knight or Rook Is Moving or Capturing?When both of a player's rooks or knights can move to the same location, you must identify which rook or knight is moving by following the letter-symbol of the moving piece with a foreslash "/" followed by its location, as in "R/f1 c4" which means the rook at f1 moves to c4. (See below for other examples.) 
Noting a Pawn Promotion or En Passant CaptureTo note a pawn promotion, simply write the letter-symbol of the piece it promotes to at the end of the notation. (See below.) Note an en passant capture as if the captured pawn advanced only one hex. The notation for en passant (e.p.) is written at the end of the capture move, but it is not required. (See below.)
