Talk:Algebraic notation (chess)

Think we can get this to GA status?

I don't think it's too far off. Any suggestions for improvements before formally submitting it are welcome. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 02:02, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Why not submit for A status instead? (Doesn't require GA first, and more feedback w/ be garnered.) Template:PbMy only hangnail w/ the article is secname "Similar notations". (To me that name seems "off"/not apt. All the notations listed rely on use of coordinates, and all the systems achieve the same obvious purpose. But other than those necessary commonalities, how is numeric notation "similar" to standard algebraic?!) I had the sec previously named "Kindred notations", which I still think is better, and perfectly good application of word 'kindred'. The notations are members of a "family" of notations, but "Related notations" is also off, they aren't related to each other, they just necessarily share purpose and reliance on coordinates. p.s. "Kindred notation systems" or "Kindred systems" w/ also be possible secname candidates. Thx for consider, --IHTS (talk) 03:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Is A better than GA? Are the standards different? Who decides/reviews it? How does this stuff work? (Not much experience raising articles to GA status). MaxBrowne2 (talk) 05:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

This table explains some: WP:CLASSES. --IHTS (talk) 09:42, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

So "A" class is a way to avoid annoyimg questions in GA reviews? MaxBrowne2 (talk) 21:53, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm wondering if we should just describe standard FIDE-style algebraic notation, then have a section called "variants" which would include things like different ways to show captures, different symbols etc. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 21:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Translation

Hello , i was looking at the translation table for Chinese and it seems that you have only included traditional . Is it possible if you can add simplified? If not , please separate it . In case the translator is here is a translation provided : 王（king) , 后（queen) , 车（rook) , 马 (horse) ，象 （bishop) , 兵 (pawn) . Thank you! 38.187.199.111 (talk) 07:51, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Long algebraic notation (additional)

"A form of long algebraic notation (without piece names) is also used by the Universal Chess Interface (UCI) standard, which is a common way for graphical chess programs to communicate with chess engines, e.g. e2e4, e1g1 (castling), e7e8q (promotion)."

I believe that the use of this particular notation sometimes permits only six characters, and for this reason a promotion is rendered (e.g.) e7eQ or …c2cQ. WHPratt (talk) 15:49, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
