Chess notation: http://www.chesscorner.com/tutorial/basic/notation/notate.htm example: 1. f4 e5 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. g3 Qg5 5. Nf3 Qxg3+ 6. hxg3 Bxg3# Instead of an arithmetic game with symbols from [0,1,2,...9,+,-], it's a chess game with some additional symbols. That's all the TRUTH there is to it. The truth of the game. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
