Thanks, {bb}. hopefully I’ll be applying this process to all 20 games
of the Championship, if I can resolve a few details.
Here’s how it works out. If you read chess notation, it should be
fairly straightforward. The #s are drawn from a gamut of 64 pitches
based on the placement of moves on the board. (a1 = 1, a2 = 2, . . b1
= 9, b2 = 10, . . . h8 = 64.) The one quirk I add is that castling (O -
O) produces a dyad for the 2 moves instead of a single note. Repeated
values are tied; otherwise, duration is kept constant.
I hope to add complexity in future mappings, but figuring out how to
write an algorithm that determines what chess piece is being selected
purely from the chess notation is extraordinarily difficult! For
instance, the first move below, d4, implies that the reader knows that
one and only one pawn can make this move. Right now, I’m not sure how
to write the appropriate code so that a dumb computer with no
understanding of the rules can figure this out on its own.

VERY basic musical rendering of the first match in the Fischer-Spassky
1972 World Chess Championship. The 64 possible positions on the board
translate to 64 musical notes. Nothing special, but I was curious to
see what it would sound like, and if you are too, you will want to
listen.
You will need a program that can play MIDI files.
