Take Notation!

Don't forget to take NOTATION!  "Notation" is the way we write down our moves during a game, so that the game can be replayed later on.  This is important for several reasons:
  • It helps us see where we made mistakes
  • It helps us see where we could have made a better move
  • It helps our instructors like Mr. Matt study our games and give advice.
  • It lets us load our games into game analyzers e.g. ChessMaster or T-Chess (on iPad) so we can see where we made our best and worst moves.
  • It lets you post your game here on the Blog!!  See an example below of one of Evan's games.
Here is the wikipedia article on the type of notation we use in the MSCC, called "algebraic notation": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_chess_notation
