Hi there.
In this election, we're going to talk about fan strengths, so these are full SCIAF and words notation.
So it's attributed to David Forsayth, who was between 1854 and 1939, was a Scotsman who emigrated
to New Zealand, served as a chess editor of the Glasgow Weekly Herald.
So Forsyth invented foresighted notation as a method of recording transpositions.
And later it was extended by someone called Stephen James Edwards, who was between nineteen fifty seven
to twenty sixteen.
So later, Stephen, James Edwards applied to extend the net.
So it was more sophisticated and could really record things like the plan to move the casting available
and other stuff.
So we're going to have a look at Forsyth Edward notation.
AdWords notation.
It's quite easy to slip up.
So fen strings for SCIAF Edwards notation for being technically correct.
Steve, Steven, James Edwards.
So here is a string at the start of the game is going from top left to bottom right.
Here's the first filled.
The second, the third, the fourth, the fifth or sixth.
There were six Feld's.
Yeah.
So the piece placements you have the pieces in the standard algebraic notation or some notation for
short.
So a small R is a black rook, a small and as a as a black knight capital N is a white knight.
So we got all the black pieces, we got the small pieces were small, you know, the black --'s and
then at each end of row you put a forward slash.
So forward leaning slash or just short.
So that's the standard slash.
And then we have the next row.
Then we come to the end of the row.
If there's spaces, you just count the number of spaces.
So there's eight spaces there, eight, eight, eight.
You can see that emerging.
Then the --'s the white --.
So if we move a pawn here, look what happens.
We get a one emerge here.
Look at this row.
There's four pawns.
One, two, three, four.
Then there's a one and then three pawns.
Also, look what happens here to this felt.
So this is the Ampersands Felde.
This word from Lancefield is the Thompson Target Square, and it's recorded, even though there's no
-- on DeFore Refought, still recorded, you still record it technically.
So, Avery, so let's say let's get the going.
So say see five inflectional.
Is that is that a good move?
If we're going to record the free as some songs square out, we'll have to play defore.
So now differe is recorded and because there's a -- on Frank Black, Lacy takes frame.
And if you're writing this on scoresheet you can optionally put it doesn't you don't have to put.
Hadopi, not to signify I'm sorry, just just make it even clearer than it was longsword.
So anyway, so we've got the felt that we've also got castling availability.
Now this shows a capital K capital KWEM.
Q means we can.
Kosslyn Both the Kings Island Queen site.
Now, let's say we forfeited all rights council on the Queen side.
Right.
Let's see what happens.
Thank you.
So say, you know, I just a.
I move the rook and I quickly, you know, move it back.
So let's give that back.
Even though it's not visually apparent now that we can you know, if you just gave that first part of
the string, how do we know if we can call the queen side or not?
But this Felde shows us that we can only cancel Kingside.
It's only a capital K there.
We can only cancel Kingside so the software knows.
So for example, here, you know, they can cancel and then we're left with a K there and we can't do
this.
It's an illegal move, but we can't go and cancel Kingside.
And then once no Psychon calls, it becomes a dash.
So these six fildes are kept intact by their spaces, you know, space, space.
And when they're irrelevant, you know, they've become a dash.
So the second filled the active color.
In case you haven't already picked that up so small.
We mean as whites move small, B means black to move the active color to move.
So we move.
It goes to B and then it switches to W.
So that's fair enough.
The active color.
So, yeah, then we got, you know, the costing over Birthe Johnson's Hoggett Square, the half moon
clock is the number of moves since the last pawn move or capture.
So that's good for knowing if the 50 move drawer rule has been activated or not.
So the 55 drawer rule, that's like 100 ply since the last poll move or capture.
So this will keep going up.
As long as there's no poor move or capture, as soon as we play a poor move, that 13 is going to go
to zero.
Look, because there's been a poor move.
So the 15 overall starts counting up again.
So you can tell this from that fence.
I know.
It's really clever stuff.
Is that the full move?
No, it's like move 14 now, even though we haven't recorded 14, it is move 14.
As soon as we going to move its move, 14 dots, Brooke, 81 disambiguate, 51 one.
Remember those disambiguation in concise notation, algebraic notation.
So, yeah, with these six Feld's this is the Fantana, the six Feld's.
So credit to these two amazing people, David for SCIAF and and later Steven James Edwards.
So we say capital F Capital E Capital and denoting Foresi Edwards notation.
So in practice you can grab this fancy ring and you can control it sometimes in other software and it
pairs with the right side to move cost available, homesite, etc..
You got all six feld's, which are absolutely necessary and important.
So it's not just where the pieces are.
You want to know the other stuff as well, especially the turn to move tons, which is really powerful
interests of decides the fate of who wins the game.
If you know, if you if you have a move often, that's really quite good.
So anyway, Forsayth Edwin notation, I hope that's a little bit clearer what it is based on two great
guys that contributed to help us share both games, games, scores and positions.
Especially Steven James Edwards, who was also involved in the planned portable game notation standards,
which very slightly, by the way, from standard algebraic notation, which is what Veli uses.
So portable game notation has some slight differences.
So if you want to nerd up on that and check that out.
OK, so anyway, so I hope that's clear.
It's a way of representing transpositions, full strength, as I like to call them, fense.
OK, that's so much.
