I'm fairly new in the game of
Chess but I already consider myself addicted
to the game.
I just started to read Chess books and
studying problems in your site and I would
like to know how can I tell when a white or
black player moves in a game.
Thank you.

Dear
viewer,
Let's review these first two moves
of a game: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6
1. This number
means the first pair of moves, white & black. By a general rule,
white always move first in a game.
e4 This is the first
move white makes which means white Pawn on square e2 moves to
square e4.
e5 This is the first
move black makes which means black Pawn on square e7 moves to
square e5.
2.
This number means the second pair of moves, white & black.
Nf3 This is the second
move white makes which means white's Knight on square g1 moves
to square f3.
Nc6 This is the second
move black makes which means black's Knight on square b8 moves
to square c6.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3
Nc6
Capital letters are used to
represent major pieces: K = King, Q = Queen, R
= Rook, B = Bishop, and N = Knight. When no
capital letter is used, it is assumed a Pawn move was made.
Lower-case letters and numbers are
used to name the coordinates of the chessboard: a, b,
c, d, e, f, g, h and
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8.
Other signs used:
+ = check
X = capture
? = bad move
! = good move
1/2-1/2 = draw
1-0 = white wins
0-1 = black wins
e.p. = en-passant
!! = very good move
?? = very bad move
* = game in
progress
++ or #
= checkmate
0-0 = kingside castling
0-0-0 = queenside castling
