2.16.1 Chess notation
One of the most important factors in the advancement of chess knowledge was the
invention of an efficient notation to describe moves. It is done with the help of piece
names, eight file letters (a – h) and eight rank numbers (1 – 8).

To record a move you need the following:
A move number. Move 1 is a move by White and then one by Black. Each of the
components is called a "ply" or "half-move".
A piece letter (for king, queen, rook, bishop and knight). You can also use
"figurines", small images of the pieces.
Co-ordinates designating where the piece moves to.
