  punctuation - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about punctuation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Standard punctuation marks and conventions include the full stop (also known as period or point), commas, colon, semicolon, exclamation mark (or exclamation point), question mark, apostrophe, hyphen, and parenthesis (which includes dashes, brackets, and the use of parenthetical commas).
Punctuation contributes to the effective layout of visual language; if a work is not adequately punctuated, there may be problems of ambiguity and unclear association among words.
Otherwise, the use of punctuation will vary according to the kind of passage being produced: a personal letter, a newspaper article, and a technical report are all laid out and punctuated in distinctive ways.

The main thing to remember when looking at a chess diagram, regardless of the notation system used, is that the board is always "right-side up" for White, meaning White is always shown as playing from the "bottom" of the board.
Also, when placing a chess board down to play, the square in the lower right hand corner should always be white (the lighter of the two colors).
Since errors in notation are especially unwanted in postal chess because of 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.

 Chess notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chess notation is the term for systems that record the moves made during a game of chess and several have been developed.
This is a variant of algebraic chess notation where the moves include both the starting and ending position separated by a hyphen.
When annotating chess games, question marks and exclamation marks are frequently used by annotators commenting on the game to label a move as bad or praise the move as a good one (see punctuation (chess)).

 Chess Notation
To record a game for future enjoyment and reference, and to play through the great games of chess history, it is necessary to learn a new language: chess notation.
The system of chess notation described below, which is in use all over the globe, is called algebraic notation.
None of this punctuation (?, !, ?!, and !?) is required, and is used primarily as a diagnostic or learning tool, and to allow a little room for expression in game scores or analysis.

 Why Club Chess Is the Best Sport
Whenever you combine a complex activity like chess with a short time control (our club games are played at G/40 speed, meaning that all moves must be completed within 40 minutes), you will get a mix of good moves and horrible blunders.
In chess, if you cannot "see" the negative consequences of a particular move, even after prolonged calculation, you should assume there are none.
Players should not be playing "hope chess" or "fear chess" or letting their emotions interfere with the brutal task of calculating moves.

Note that these final punctuation marks are included in the citation (before the final quotation marks), while the comma and period, the punctuation marks appropriate to the construction of your sentence, follow the parenthetical references.
In the first sentence, the final punctuation of the citation has been omitted (there is no punctuation preceding the final quotation mark); in the second, the exclamation point from the citation has been preserved.
Punctuation with parenthetical references: When you are quoting fewer than four full lines of verse, the quotation should be integrated into your paragraph (not indented) and enclosed in quotation marks.

 Emporia State University - Writing Lab
A long time ago, marks of punctuation were signals to a professional orator of how long to pause between phrases, clauses, sentences, and even paragraphs.
Though this rhetorical use of punctuation was abandoned more than a century ago, some people persist in thinking that punctuation (particularly commas) mark pauses.
Today, we use commas and other marks of punctuation, not for their time value, but for other grammatical purposes.

 "The path to self-damnation: the dangers of self-publishing" by Olimpiu G. Urcan
And not because this booklet is a ground-breaking work, but rather because such a comprehensive and serious history of one of the historical European chess clubs would be necessary since Paige's attempt leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth of an admirer of British chess.
Not a single British chess column, and there were many during the London Chess Club's long existence, was researched by Paige.
It should have been followed by a couple of hard years of intensive work on all available chess columns from London, the majority of chess journals of the époque and a greater care in bringing to life the characters that gave so much of their time and energy to the London Chess Club.

 Chess Notes by Edward Winter
Chess historians and bibliophiles have to reconnoitre not only the majestic boulevards but also the squalid backstreets.
The board attempts to depict the northern starry sky; the pawns are the phases of the Moon, and the other pieces represent constellations such as Aries, Leo, Gemini, etc. The rooks and knights are the planets, and the bishops are intended as comets.
He was born in Manchester on 30 October 1902, and the BCM praised his ‘chess skill of a high order for one so young in years’ and reported that he ‘possesses such a remarkable memory that he can play over any games he contests and can set up any position he has seen’.

Positional chess is 'boring' only to those who do not understand the finer points of it, and I don't pretend to understand the finer points of positional chess, but I would not call it boring because of that.
I am wondering if chess held around the globe has a wide array of publicity and recognition as it used to be like during the times of the legendary Bobby Fischer, Anotoly Karpov and greatest chess player that the world has ever seen and produced in the person of Gary kasparov.
Chess today lacks the luster and glamor as how GM Kasparov displays, I am yearning that GM kasparov will reconsider his decision to retire so early so that we can still see some of his chess games before entering the middle part of the third millenium.

Ranking near the pinnacle of professional chess, Ashley skims his career, emphasizing his teenage years in 1980s Brooklyn when he was lured into the 64-square universe of chess, saving him from a dangerous street life in Brooklyn.
While not overselling chess as a panacea for learning difficulties, Ashley's enthusiasm and inherent role-model status give parents and educators valuable inspiration supported by practical information about organizing a school chess program.
In CHESS FOR SUCCESS, he discusses the important role chess has played in his life, the history of the game, its impact on cognitive development, and its usefulness in educational settings.

Chief among the book's virtues is its willingness to approach the games of chess legends and relative unknowns with equal respect and equal care, and to strike an excellent balance between analysis and commentary in doing so.
As a result, he routinely shows a culminating tactical shot to be the punctuation mark to a rigorous process of continually seeking out the best move, rather than a stroke of brilliance arriving like a bolt from the blue.
In this book chess is a very concrete game - the master-teacher is a firm believer in the power of the specific example more than in overall synthesis or general conclusions.

 Tastiest Torah Treats
Traditional Jewish culture in many ways revolves around the game of Talmud; everyone who had any opportunity would "play" when they could, and the greatest Talmudic "athletes" would be great heroes.
A page of Talmud has very little punctuation, and the first step is to try to punctuate it (adding commas, question marks, etc.) The next step is to try to make sense of what's going on and follow the lines of argument.
Punctuation is extremely important in Talmud study -- because there is so little punctuation on the page (most ancient texts had very little punctuation) it has to be filled in by intonation.

This sort of human-readable stuff that makes up the program is usually called the source code, not an important detail but if you're curious as to why read this.
Most punctuation in the code is one of two things, either 1) operators or 2) start/end indicators for an expression, statement or block.
Most punctuation is a single character, so there's nothing complicated as to what separates different punctuation tokens.

The first exercise is to try to figure out what punctuation is needed, and fill in periods, question marks, quotation marks, etc. Don't worry if this is confusing.
Also, there is no one right answer ­­ any punctuation that makes sense may be right, just like with the sign on the beach.
I know from experience that it can be head-splittingly frustrating but it can also be exciting, watching the shape of the text emerge like a statue being carved out of a shapeless rock.

Secondly this is a message board so you will find most people do not bother with punctuation and I am no different.

While the Correspondence Chess League of America claimed Stolzenberg as their own, as was mentioned before, Stolzenberg was active in the USCF Golden Knights, the largest American correspondence chess tournament.
One small step that might have avoided the loss of both the chess legacies of Peter Rimlinger and Leon Stolzenberg was for both gentlemen to have let their loved ones know that their chess papers were of value.
Whether this involves donation to a friend, a chess historian, a chess club, or the White Collection matters not, as long as there is a plan and it is clear to the family of the deceased chessplayer what needs to be done.
