This template is used in WikiProject Chess articles containing chess moves written in algebraic notation. It generates a {{side box}} to alert the reader to the fact, and provides a link to Algebraic notation. The tag comes in three flavors:
Descriptive notation was usual in the Middle Ages in Europe. A form of algebraic chess notation that seems to have been borrowed from Muslim chess, however, appeared in Europe in a 12th century manuscript referred to as "MS. Paris Fr. 1173 (PP.)". The files run from a to h, just as they do in the current standard algebraic notation. The ranks ...
PGN headers are allowed, for convenience, but ignored by the template, except when parameter display notation is set to "yes", in which case the tags will be shown as part of the notation. Series of move = parameters, determining which positions will be displayed, using the {{Chess diagram}} template. The value of this parameter will be passed ...
Minimal algebraic notation is similar to short algebraic notation but omits the indicators for capture ("x"), en passant capture ("e.p."), check ("+") and checkmate ("#"). It was used by Chess Informant. [7] Figurine algebraic notation replaces the letter that stands for a piece by its symbol, e.g., ♞c6 instead of Nc6 or ♖xg4 instead of ...

The inclusion of the chess symbols enables the use of figurine algebraic notation, which replaces the letter that stands for a piece by its symbol, e.g. ♘c6 instead of Nc6. This also allows the play of chess games in text-only environments, such as the terminal.
Portable Game Notation (PGN) is a standard plain text format for recording chess games (both the moves and related data), which can be read by humans and is also supported by most chess software. This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.
