8. How Chess Notation Works
All these chess notation rules may look complicated at
first glance and seem like a lot to take in, but after a little
practice, how chess notation works will become natural,
just like a musician reading sheet music.
Even if you are only playing friendly games, get into the
habit of identifying chess pieces and squares now.
Aside from anything, it’s always interesting to look back
at games you played long ago – in years to come, you will
wish you had your old games recorded. And by getting into
practice now, you will be able to write down chess notation
like a pro when you are ready to start playing at a club.
