<s>[INST] How do you read chess notation? [/INST] Chess notation is a standardized system for recording chess moves. It utilizes a unique coordinate system and notation convention to translate chess positions and sequences of moves into an understandable format.

The chessboard is identified using a letter-number coordinate system. Files (vertical columns) are labeled a-h, and ranks (horizontal rows) are numbered 1-8. This allows each square to be uniquely identified, e.g. e4 refers to the center d-file and 4th rank square. Knowing the coordinate system is crucial to interpreting chess notation.

Each chess piece is denoted by a letter: K for king, Q for queen, R for rook, B for bishop, and N for knight. Pawns are not denoted. These letters are used to record the pieces that are moving. For example, "e2-e4" means the pawn on e2 moved to e4.

Moves are written using the "from-to" format. If a capture occurred, "x" is inserted, e.g. "exd5" means a pawn on e5 captured a piece on d5. Special moves like castling are denoted "O-O" for kingside castling and "O-O-O" for queenside castling. Check, double check, and checkmate are marked with "+", "++", and "#" respectively.

By understanding the coordinate system and notation conventions, one can translate chess positions and moves into the proper notation. With practice, chess notation can be read and interpreted fluently. There are also variations of standard chess notation, such as Figurine algebraic notation using piece symbols instead of letters, ICCF numeric notation using numbers, and Portable Game Notation (PGN) which uses a structured text format. Knowing the differences helps understand when and why alternative notations are used.

Chess notation is a useful system for recording and sharing chess games and positions.
