Besides, I prefer algebraic notation. 1. e4 Cheers, Ben To deny the indirect purchaser, who in this case is the ultimate purchaser, the right to seek relief from unlawful conduct, would essentially remove the word consumer from the Consumer Protection Act - [link\|http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?NewsID=1246&Page=1&pagePos=20\|Nebraska Supreme Court]

Post #163,311 by ben_tilly 7/7/04 7:49:20 PM Reply	Depends which classics Algebraic notation predates descriptive notation. And outside the English world, algebraic has been standard for ages. There is a brief history at [link\|http://www.chessmuseum.org/history0799.html\|http://www.chessmuse.../history0799.html]. Incidentally this human prefers algebraic notation - it is easier to visualize.

Post #163,331 by deSitter 7/7/04 10:03:51 PM Reply	Re: Depends which classics Actually that's the same reason I like English notation - easier to visualize (i.e. a Knight is going to do this, rather than e3-d5 or the like). Also there is a nice aesthetic - when you see \n\n1. P-Q4 P-Q4\n2. P-QB4 P-K3\n3. N-QB3 N-KB3\n the added emphasis of all the "Q"s tells you the action is on the queen side. -drl
Post #163,340 by ben_tilly 7/7/04 11:22:19 PM Reply	Let's compare the same sequence in algebraic It is: \n1. d4 d5\n2. c4 e6\n3. Nc3 Nf6\n Much more concise. I don't have to keep flipping my mental image of where I'm sitting to work out where pieces are. d4 is d4 is d4. It isn't Q4 or Q5 depending on whose move. Plus if you change languages, the algebraic change is much smaller. For instance in French it would be: \n1. d4 d5\n2. c4 e6\n3. Cc3 Cf6\n The English notation would translate into something like this: \n1. P-D4 P-D4\n2. P-DF4 P-R3\n3. C-DF3 C-RF3\n Which translation looks easier to learn? Now let's translate into Spanish. \n1. d4 d5\n2. c4 e6\n3. Cc3 Cf6\n vs \n1. P-D4 P-D4\n2. P-DA4 P-R3\n3. C-DA3 C-RA3\n You can't even keep oriented without constantly remembering the change in names of the pieces! The fact that Philidor liked giving long-hand descriptions has held back chess in the English-speaking world for long enough. I'm glad that everyone has switched to the simpler to learn algebraic.

A tournament of 2 minute games online. I felt so bad that I offered a takeback before I took mate in 2...

Post #163,468 by ben_tilly 7/8/04 1:46:17 PM 7/8/04 2:36:35 PM Reply	Here's the game There are minor variations, this is the one that I played. \n1. g4 e5\n2. f3 Qh4++\n Or for Ross, \n1. P-KN4 P-K4\n2. P-KB3 Q-KR5++\n Cheers, Ben PS Sorry for the unintentional demonstration of how easy it is to get confused with the old notation. I knew that the key move was to be made by the Q, so I was putting Q where K belonged. :-( To deny the indirect purchaser, who in this case is the ultimate purchaser, the right to seek relief from unlawful conduct, would essentially remove the word consumer from the Consumer Protection Act - [link\|http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?NewsID=1246&Page=1&pagePos=20\|Nebraska Supreme Court] Edited by ben_tilly July 8, 2004, 02:36:35 PM EDT Expand All History
