Grading system:
Il n'est pas tout de savoir jouer, il fallait trouver un système de notation des coups pour permettre la lecture et l'écriture
of parts. The algebraic notation is the most common and the simplest.
This system has been adopted in chess books and in the chess press.
Each room is designated by the first letter of its name (capital letter).
Exemple :R = Roi, D = Dame, T = Tour, F = Fou, C= Cavalier.
The Pawns are not designated by their first letter, but rather are identified by the absence of it.
Example: The pawn on the square "e2" is called e2.
On the chessboard we have
8 columns designated respectively as a, b, c, d, e, f, and h
8 numbered traverses respectively 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8

from its cross number. Example: The intersection of column 'a' and cross '5' gives the cell the name a5.
This being seen, a piece's movement will be noted only by its arrival square. For example: A Knight is located
currently on the square named "d4" and decides to settle on the square named "b6". The notation will be Cb6.
For the pawns, we proceed in the same way by indicating only the destination square.
Example: A Pawn is currently on the square named 'f2' and decides to settle on the square named f4.
the notation will be f4.

THE RIDER
The Knight is the only piece that has the ability to
jump over the other pieces.
His movement is uncommon. Indeed, he cannot

The Knight is particularly active at the beginning of the game.
It can control up to 8 squares.
