Section [9]: Notation
A non capturing move always keeps a particular line. The index change on that line is sufficient to indicate the move. Thus 'f45' and 'gf5' indicate moves of a white man or any king, while 'd25' and 'he6' indicate moves of a white phalanx or any king.
A phalanx-capture also keeps a particular line. Here the capture sign 'x' comes between the indices, for instance 'hxe5' or 'g3x5'.
A multiple piece-capture does not necessarily keep a particular line and may end on the square of origin. The 'x' sign now comes after the indices, for instance 'e8h6x', 'ef8x' or 'f6x'.
! Good move | !! Very good move |
? Bad move | ?? Very Bad move |
!? Doubtful | ?! Risky |
= Equal position
