Then C.8 defines that the long form is an acceptable form of algebraic notation. | |
| Feb 26, 2020 at 13:30 | comment | added | PhishMaster | @ilkkachu The first part of the rule is very clear: Only algebraic. That you can use long form is just a footnote overall. | |
| Feb 26, 2020 at 13:26 | comment | added | ilkkachu | OTOH, that FIDE document linked seems to allow recording both the start and the ending squares of a move (C.8 Each move of a piece is indicated by the abbreviation of the name of the piece in question and the square of arrival. [...] A longer form containing the square of departure is acceptable. Examples: Bb2e5, Ng1f3, Ra1d1, e7e5, d2d4, a6a5.) That's not the same as numeric notation but should be equally unambiguous. | |
| Feb 26, 2020 at 13:24 | comment | added | ilkkachu | @edwinaoliver, that sounds a lot like "unsportsmanlike behaviour" (trying to take a piss at the referee, in this case) | |
| Feb 26, 2020 at 3:35 | comment | added | PhishMaster | I would think so. Go to the link I gave and look at the whole thing, including appendix C. | |
| Feb 26, 2020 at 3:33 | comment | added | edwina oliver | FIDE allows the use of the native language abbrev for the piece being moved. Why not say my language is the two digit home square? Would FIDE really object to that?? | |
| Feb 26, 2020 at 1:10 | comment | added | PhishMaster | @patbarron Thanks, They did not officially define it. Even then, that is basically a long-form of algebraic, and thus, they still so not all the ICCF's notation. | |
| Feb 26, 2020 at 1:07 | comment | added | patbarron | "Computer Notation" is where you record a move just by specifying the piece's original square and destination square - for example, instead of "1. e4" you might write "1. E2-E4". Instead of "2. Nf3", you might write "2. G1-F3". And so forth. | |
