The center four cells are A01, A02, A03 and A04 - this is B$A. Next block out is B$B - B01 to B12. The next block out is B$C - C01 to C20. The largest block of cells on an 8 x 8 board is B$D - D01 to D28. B$E, F, G, H, J, K etc are used on the larger boards. The way in which the moves of the game are recorded. Brevity, efficiency and active personal involvement are of crucial importance in successful noting during a game of chess. The notation has been called the language of the game and a knowledge of it is necessary for those who desire to appreciate the games of other players.
