Chess Notation: the language of chess
|
| Chess notation allows chess players to communicate the moves
of a game. For example, one version of the famous "scholar's
mate" can be described thus: 1.e4 e5 2. Bc4 d6 3.Qh5 Nf6 4.Qxf7#. The
final position after these moves is illustrated in the diagram to the
right. |

The areas of this site that offer chess instruction
requires understanding of
chess notation. Learn to read and write chess notation:
instructions (guide at US Chess Federation website). |

Deer Park Chess: A Compendium of Lessons
The principal chess lessons that I used in 2004-2005 are available for
training and review. Some of these lessons concern fundamentals, and
are part of the training I offer every year. Others are one-time lessons,
frequently from current grandmaster games.
The complete pamphlet is available to read online, or to print for
personal use as a PDF file. Access it through the link at the right. |
