Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"
Those sets of letters and numbers are an "old school" notation for our moves.
Lets look at my last move:
B-K3
It consists of the piece being moved
a hyphen and the square we are to move to
Fine, what do the letters and numbers actually mean?
There is a standard notation for each piece:
IIRC
K = King
Q = Queen
R = Rook or Castle
Kn = Knight
B = Bishop
Pn = Pawn
So the Letter is the piece to be moved, then the hyphen, finally the Letter and Number combination describes as follows Letter is the Left/Right position
sort of like Longitude on a map. Each Piece has a starting position and this is the name of that column.
Again the same example:
B-K3
K3 means the King's column.
The number denotes the UP/DOWN relation sorta like Latitude on a map
So, K3 is King's Column, third row.
Makes much more sense when you are looking at a board .
