old school chess notation
Sort:
I’ve recently got some old chess books but it seems to be written in old fashioned notation is there anything on here that I can look at to learn it?

You mean descriptive notation. Their was a thread about this some four days ago on this forum , unfortunately I’ve forgotten the title of it , but it shouldn’t be hard to find, if you want to.
You probably mean https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/anyone-miss-descriptive-notation
The notation itself should be explained sufficiently on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_notation

P = Pawn
K = King
Q = Queen
B = Bishop
N = Knight
R = Rook
P-K4 would be Kings Pawn goes to the 4th square, or e4.
N-KB3 would be Kings knight moves to KB3, or f3.
