What Is Notation?
Chess notation is simply a form of shorthand for writing down the moves of a chess game. In order to improve in chess, it is important to be able to review games. This is a great way of accessing previously played games. In addition, completed notation is required to enforce many chess rules. Algebraic notation is standard in the US. There are many online resources available for learning notation. ALL players are highly encouraged to take notations, and it is a requirement in many tournament sections. Bring two sharpened pencils and a notation book if possible.
