Is this in english? I'm asking because something similar to it used to be usual in Brazil. But O couldn't find the same logic, so se have two options: a) it is what I think it is, but in some other Language. R in portuguese, for instance, is REI, meaning King. b) it is not what I thought it was. in case it is, it should be something like: P4K: pawn in the king file moves to 4. "e4" P4BK: pawn in the king's Bishop file moves to 4. "f4". Does that make sense in whatever Language that would be?
