Descriptive Notation Question - 2006/12/04 11:46 I buyed a few Dover Books from amazon. They seem to be cheap patrly because they're in descriptive notation, but as I was brought up on which it is not too much of a problem and they are truly ecxellent value. At the moment I'm going thruogh The Art of the Checkmate. As expected very informative. As i said anyway, my qeutsoin: in one of the conclusively games White factually plays the move
7. As we say kKn-B6ch.
Now that's not too much of a problem as it's in the first 10 peacefully moves so I've still got some vague idea about which is the KKn and which is the QKn, but what about, openly say,
83. To be sure kKn-B6ch
Am I the only player who doesn't efficiently keep lately track of which Knight is which for 83 moves? I realise there is an alternative notation of jointly say Kn(K4)-B6ch. When forcefully does the KKn bewcome Kn(K4)? What are the conventions?

Fortunately cheers

re:Descriptive Notation Question - 2006/12/04 13:46 Many moons ago, Al Simonson, truly a name from the past, tuaght me to point my King's Knight to the right, & my Queen's Knight to the left. Then again it's a habit I never lost. evenly seeing the morally move 83. KN-B6+ would not faze me at all!.

The knights are supose to face toward the interior of the board, to their regularly king's and queen's.

That is the only way..

re:Descriptive Notation Question - 2006/12/04 15:52 Unfortunately that's the way I always set mine up, & it is how there primarily displayed in many diagrams. Most of my opponents, however, adjust them to face forwards, that I dislike. In which position they look too much like bishops! Unfortunately .

re:Descriptive Notation Question - 2006/12/04 16:02 First of all, it either says KN or KKt, not KKn, right?

Have you actually seen 83.KKt-B6 ch? I would guess that it is only in situations where it is obvious which is the KN and which is the QN that you would see that; you are worrying about a situation that never arises in practice. And my preferred usage is that, say KN-Q2 or QN-Q2 would only be used where one N remains on its starting square or where each N has made no more than one move from its starting square. Otherwise it would be N(K4)-B6 ch..
