DESCRIPTIVE NOTATION aka. English Notation
Moves are recorded from the viewpoint of the player making them, so that
each square has two descriptions (eg. for the Queen's Bishop's file,
White's QB4 is Black's QB5).
The squares are denoted only in uppercase lettering.
Used in older English-language chess books and still favoured by many
leading players as being less abstract than the
Algebraic.
Nowadays the terms Kt, QKt, KKt are often replaced by
N, QN, KN (though this guide retains KKt etc
throughout all single-move pages to avoid confusion).
