Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Andrew,
 I'll try. Hope you can understand my "explanation".  Here it goes:
 I use 'Abbreviated Algebraic' notation (or code) used to describe my moves.
 There is also 'Full Algebraic' 'English Descriptive' and 'International
Numeric' notation. If you prefer any of these, let me know and we'll switch
to what you are more comfortable with.
 --Abbreviated Algebraic Notation--
 Chess board is ALWAYS discribed from WHITE's point of view.
 Columns (or files) on Chess board are named 'a' 'b' 'c'... to 'h'starting
from White's left corner
 Rows    (or ranks) on Chess board are numbered '1' '2' ... to '8'starting
from White's left corner

Write your reply.

assistant: I think the best way to get used to reading/writing your moves down, is by
setting the chessboard and playing/following a recorded game.
 There are few games being played on this echo, but I'll add one of the
ancient games played in 1895.
 The King Pawn opening
 Center Counter   ECO B01
 White: MIESES      Black: OEHQUIST  Nurenberg 1895
 1.e4       -straightforward and most popular opening move for white
 1... d5    -The Center Counter. Considered to violent for most folks, but
                                   lots of fun in Blitz games.
 2.ed5      -Black is not allowed to challenge like this in the middle.
 2... Qd5   -Queen is already out!? That's why this opening is unpopular.
 3.Nc3      -attacks the Queen and develops a piece.
 3... Qd8?! -now obsolete. (Better is 3...Qa5)
 4.d4       -back to the business of establishing Pawn Center
 4... Nc6?! -black tries a 'new' move:
             tempting white Pawn advance to 'd5'(usual is 4...Nf6 or 4...g6)
 5.Nf3      -develops knight and defends the pawn (playing it safe)
 5... Bg4?! -aggresive! Pinning the knight. If white moves Knight,loses
ueen.
 6.d5!      -Tempts black to play 'Ne5' and put more pressure on Pinned
night
 6... Ne5?? -Black falls in the trap! Can you see the next move?
 7.Nxe5     -white takes a Knight
 7... Bxd1  -black wins a Queen! (But does white needs Queen at all?)
 8.Bb5+     -Check
 8... c6    -forced
 9.dxc6     1-O  Black Resigns
            (Black has no way of stopping 10.cxb7+ Kd8  11.Nxf7++ mate)
Hope you enjoy this short game.
See ya.
Steve
