Hi there in this case, I just want to mention the old descriptive notation in the old times, people

00:08.310 --> 00:12.070
would say I moved the pawn to the king's forth.

00:12.150 --> 00:20.040
So the king's fall, as opposed to rank the king's farm to the fourth rank.

00:20.520 --> 00:27.180
And this is a bit confusing because if the opponent plays a, you know, this move, they've actually

00:27.180 --> 00:30.740
moved their pawn to the king's fourth as well from their perspective.

00:31.110 --> 00:33.780
So it's like you have to factor in the perspective.

00:34.380 --> 00:44.400
And instead of just saying no, Jeffrey, that's moving the points to King's Bishop three to signify

00:44.400 --> 00:45.020
that square.

00:45.030 --> 00:47.160
That's actually King's Bishop three.

00:47.850 --> 00:53.040
And if they move their right here, that's moving the knight to Queens Bishop free.

00:53.550 --> 00:58.800
So you can see it's it's a little bit more confusing because you really need to know the perspective

00:59.310 --> 01:04.290
of what you're talking about instead of just using this more concise grid coordinate system.

01:05.550 --> 01:12.510
If we move a bishop to CIFOR, we'd have to say we're moving our bishop to our Queen's Bishop four.

01:13.080 --> 01:17.910
So this is the old descriptive notation, which.

01:18.950 --> 01:26.090
Was replaced of the 1980s and most chess literature by the new modern algebraic notation, thankfully,

01:26.090 --> 01:29.750
which we have today, but you'll see some old chess books.

01:29.750 --> 01:36.920
Sometimes they do get revised to use the new modern algebraic notation, but be aware that some chess,

01:36.920 --> 01:45.680
which maybe hasn't been updated and is in the old descriptive notation, maybe your quirky or just with

01:45.680 --> 01:48.650
and you like to have your moves recorded in this way.

01:49.130 --> 01:49.940
Bishop to Queen.

01:49.940 --> 01:57.690
Bishop for pawn to queen for sort of before bishop.

01:57.790 --> 01:58.410
Thanks, Paul.

01:58.430 --> 02:01.670
I think might be acceptable in both flotations anyway.

02:01.670 --> 02:02.430
You get the idea.

02:02.450 --> 02:08.000
I hope that there are some downsides of this old descriptive notation.

02:08.000 --> 02:11.810
It's more verbose and it's more ambiguous.

02:12.290 --> 02:17.960
And you need to factor in basically which perspective you're talking about.

02:20.630 --> 02:28.590
So, you know, black has just taken there, but if we play safely, that's pawn to Queen Bishop free.

02:29.470 --> 02:32.450
So it's from whitens perspective, we say --'s queen bishop free.

02:32.990 --> 02:43.430
The bishop goes to is saying a five year old, why the bishop goes to Queen's rook for from blacks perspective.

02:44.360 --> 02:45.650
So the queen side.

02:46.520 --> 02:49.640
Queen's rook for rank.

02:50.510 --> 02:51.620
Bishop's queen for.

02:53.530 --> 02:59.890
OK, just so you know, that's the descriptive notation you might have heard in the Queen's Comment

02:59.890 --> 03:03.610
Netflix series, I just want you to be aware of that, OK?
