	Tutorial on Chess Notation
		Algebraic is the "official" notation used in tournaments and in all modern books, and it is kind of a cross between descriptive and coordinate.
		Since algebraic notation and coordinate notation are closely related, it was decided to keep it the same, and use the _arrival square_ of the pawn, and not the square the captured pawn stood on.
		Since errors in notation are especially unwanted in postal chess due to the long response times, where a single error can take a week to correct by the time the original player is informed of the error and a reply is sent back to correct the error, this notation is well-suited for postal chess.

	Algebraic chess notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Algebraic chess notation is the method used today by all competition chess organizations and most books, magazines, and newspapers to record and describe the play of chess games.
		Notations from algebraic notation are frequently used in long algebraic notation in such constructions as "Nb1-c3" or "Rd3xd7".
		In international correspondence chess the use of algebraic notation may cause confusion, since different languages have different names (and therefore different initials) for the pieces; hence the standard for transmitting moves in this form of chess is ICCF numeric notation.

	Descriptive chess notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Descriptive chess notation, or just descriptive notation is a notation for recording chess games, and at one time was the most popular notation for doing so.
		It has been superseded by abbreviated algebraic notation, but is still important for understanding older chess books.
		In Spanish descriptive notation the hypen is not needed, as the rank serves as separator.

		It replaced descriptive chess notation, although the older notation can still be found in older literature.
		In full algebraic notation, moves are simply written as the beginning position, a dash ("-"), and the ending position.

		The main advantage of algebraic notation is that every space on the chess board has one, and only one, absolute name.
		In algebraic notation, the letter is always first and the number last.
		Algebraic notation, then, is much more precise than descriptive notation in labelling moves.

		Algebraic notation is the current standard and has been the official FIDE notation starting in 1981.
		Algebraic is much easier to read then the more laborous descriptive notation, and is also much easier to record quickly and accurately while playing.
		In Algebraic notation, everything is counted from the white's queen's rook's square, which is the lower left corner of the board.

	The Concepts and Confusions of Prefix, Infix, Postfix and Fully Functional Notations
		The reason for the misconception that lisp notations are “prefix” is because the “head” appears as the first element in the enclosed parenthesis.
		Such use of the term “prefix” is a confusion engenderer because the significance of the term lies in algebraic notation systems that involves the concept of operators.
		The reason the name Algebraic Notation is used because when the science of algebra was young, around 1700s mathematicians are dealing with equations using symbols like “+ × =” written out similar to the way we use them today.

		From White's perspective, the square notated as "e4" in algebraic notation is described as "K4" in descriptive notation.
		Algebraic notation has the advantages of representing the same moves with fewer characters (on average), and using the same representation for the same location regardless of player.

	Jeremy's Web Site -- Notation
		Algebraic notation is a relatively new notation compared to some of the other ways of documenting a chess game.
		Its really a very simple notation and it only takes a little bit of practice to become good at reading it and writing it is a snap with a little bit of practice as well.
		Algebraic notation assigns each of these squares a name that it is identified by so that you are able to tell where a particular piece is moving to.

	Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - Notation
		The most common notation type you will encounter and the one most frequently in use in the modern chess world is English Algebraic, (note: the United States Chess Federation refers to this system as Algebraic Notation, abbreviated AN), although you will encounter several others as well and should become familiar with them.
		English Algebraic notation is based upon assigning numbers to the 8 ranks (rows) and lower case letters to the 8 files (columns) on the board.
		In English Algebraic notation no letter is used for the pawns, which instead generally are referred to simply by the file letter from which the pawn is advanced.

	Algebraic Notation for Chess (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Algebraic notation is a common method of recording chess moves.
		Each square on the board has a name, the first character is a letter from a-h, denoting the file, and the second character a digit from 1-8 denoting the rank.
		It is important to note that the names of the squares are the same for white and fl, an important distinction from the old style of notation.

		The rules for calculating truth functions are essentially algebraic in nature, and this is what allows their easy programming (as in the program PLN2 which you can use to find the truth value of any expression).
		It should be noted that algebraic notation as used here is based on a mod-2 arithmetic and is not the same as Boolean algebra.
		The key distinction is that in Boolean algebra the rule is that 1+1=1 while in mod 2 arithmetic it is that 1+1=0.

		The analysis of the interviews focused on the ways in which students used and interpreted algebraic notation within the contexts of the tasks.
		In general, it was found that the participants, while comfortable with notation, lacked sufficient insight into algebraic notation to take full advantage of its potential.
		That is, the participants seemed able to apply a notational approach to familiar or routine tasks but lacked the tendency and skill to apply a notational approach to a less familiar situation or to interpret notational expressions within that situation.

		Exploration of the historical development of algebraic notation shows mathematics to be a creation of individuals from all parts of the world.
		Learning more about the history of algebraic notation or doing problems using rhetorical or syncopated algebra can give students a different perspective on the modern notation and so broaden their understanding and appreciation of mathematics.
		This article traces the three major stages of development of algebraic notation, from the earliest stage of rhetorical, or prose, algebra to the intermediate stage of syncopated algebra and, finally, to symbolic algebra (Nelson, 1993).

	The Summation Sign
		It is necessary to enhance the language of algebra with an additional notational system in order to efficiently write some of the expressions which will be encountered in the next chapter on statistics.
		The notational scheme provides a means of representing both a large number of variables and the summation of an algebraic expression.
		Sometimes if the summation notation is used in an expression and the expression must be written a number of times, as in a proof, then a shorthand notation for the shorthand notation is employed.
