Where can I find a descriptive notation chart...

I've just received a "new" book , The Chess Tutor by Ault. It seems a lot like Predator at the Chessboard. In fact the authors of P at the C recommeded
Ault's book.

It was published in 1975 so of course that means descriptive notation (groan.) I want to enjoy this book to the fullest, and I would like to have a printed out descrptive notation "chart" for both black and white. There is a little one in the book, but my scanner is on the blink, and I really want one that is separate from the book that I can use page by page.

Is there a web site or somewhere that I can print out a good descriptive notation chart that I can use as I go through the book?

(The book looks wonderful, and I believe just what I need to study.)

Any ideas?

Remember that descriptive is always from the point of view of the player with the move.

[edit: sorry, I got called away on an emergency. Descriptive actually makes a lot of sense to us old-timers. It might help if you always mentally switch sides of the board for each half move. Try to envision the move from the side that's making the move.]

I could not get it to work...

You should be able to get here:

All I did for the previous link was click on the chess board on the page to enlarge it a couple times.

Thanks. I printed it out on my laser black and white printer. Only the black ink ones showed up (from Black's side.) I think I will have to pencil in White's notation.  I guess a color printer would have showed both.

You could make your own.

Of course! Lazy me did not think of that.
