In my browsers (IE and Mozilla), I can't see the chess piece after "rather than by initials: for example". Is there a setting that allows me to see them? Bubba73
some of the symbols are not displayable on my web browser. Also, i dont know what they are supposed to be. either the symbol names (or a description of the symbol) should accompany those that cannot be displayed, or we should include a) pictures of the symbols, or b) see if the LaTeX engine can faithfully produce them. --Whiteknight 6 July 2005 03:50 (UTC)
Check (board game) says that sometimes "++" is used for double check (instead of for checkmate). Is that correct? Bubba73 (talk), 01:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
the double plus symbol ( ++ ) sometimes is used to note checkmate [more rare and archaic in older historical books it was used for double check, more commonly now seen sometimes shown as dbl. ch.], added to the end of the notation, so it was used for double check at one time. 69.164.225.215 21:35, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Change "e8=Q, e8=Q," to "e8=Q, " under [Pawn Promotion] Banaanae (talk) 04:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
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)
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)
Since this notation has nothing to do with Algebra, but with using a kind of cartesian coordinates as the description of the chessboard, why not change the name to "Cartesian notation"? :-) 2A01:C23:913F:B200:3462:2771:F07E:CCAA (talk) 10:26, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
