Chess Notation
In the day of Shakespeare Qf3 would be: " Then the black king for his second draught brings forth his queene, and placest her in the third house, in front of his bishop's pawne."
Can you imagine writing this down for a 50 move game! Quite exhausting even thinking about it. We have over the years changed quite a bit for the better dont you think!
1614: The white king commands his owne knight into the third house before his owne bishop. 1750: K. knight to His Bishop's 3d. 1837: K.Kt. to B.third sq. 1848: K.Kt. to B's 3rd. 1859: K. Kt. to B. 3d. 1874: K Kt to B3 1889: KKt -B3 1904: Kt-KB3 1946: N-KB3 2007: Nf3
I do not think it will get any better than that do you? For more information on chess notation
