(2) The name of the man moved.
(3) The square to which the move has been made.
(4) The number of the move or turn.
The student has already learned the names of the Pieces and Pawns and the names of the squares. He also knows that they are referred to by their initial letters, as for example KB for King's Bishop, and QKt5 for Queen's Knight's fifth square, so he has now only to learn the abbreviations and signs and the way that the moves are arranged to indicate the color of the man played, and the number of the turn when the move was made.
For example: If the student wishes to record that in the first turn of each side White moved his King's Pawn to his King's fourth square, and Black moved his Queen's Knight to his Queen's Bishop's third square he could write it in the form of two columns, with the name of each color at the head thus:—
| white. | black. | |
| (1) | KP to K4 | QKt. to QB3 |
