IF YOU CAPTURE A PIECE ADD AN "x" BETWEEN THE PIECE MOVING AND THE SQUARE TO WHICH IT MOVES
IN THE EXAMPLE BELOW WE WOULD SAY "Bxd5" MEANING THE BISHOP (Bxd5) CAPTURES (Bxd5) THE PIECE ON d5 (Bxd5)

IF YOU PUT THE KING IN CHECK BE SURE TO ADD "+" TO THE END OF YOUR STRING
IN THE EXAMPLE BELOW WE WOULD SAY "Nxf6+" MEANING THE KNIGHT (Nxf6+) CAPTURES (Nxf6+) THE PIECE ON f6 (Nxf6+) AND PUTS THE BLACK KING IN CHECK (Nxf6+)

TO CLEAR ANY AMBIGUITY, IF TWO PIECES OF THE SAME NAME CAN MOVE TO THE SAME SQUARE PLEASE DIFFERENTIATE THEM BY NAMING THEIR FILE (a-h) OR THEIR RANK (1-8)

AND FINALLY IN THE EXAMPLE BELOW WE WOULD SAY "Rexe8#" MEANING THE ROOK (Rexe8#) ON THE e FILE (Rexe8#) (NOT THE b FILE) CAPTURES (Rexe8#) THE ROOK ON THE e8 SQUARE (Rexe8#) AND PUT BLACK IN CHECKMATE (Rexe8#)
