Sep 17, 2021 at 15:11 comment added ophact @tsh: I think it makes it more interesting, and more accurate as well as we are producing "more real" algebraic notation. I agree about ambiguities, but in the opening I decided that there would be no "disambiguation", partly because I'm not very familiar with the topic myself.
Sep 17, 2021 at 3:24 comment added tsh I know a little about chess, and no nothing about algebraic notation before. I'm confused that won't this cause ambiguous? Also, "check" and "checkmate" makes this challenge too complex, imo.
Sep 13, 2021 at 10:50 comment added emanresu A What about, say, Nf4 d5 Ng1, with backtracking, and that's the only way to make it valid?
Sep 13, 2021 at 10:26 comment added ophact @emanresuA This is "simple" algebraic notation, in the sense that any more complex types of moves are not considered. I'm not much of a chess expert myself.

Sep 13, 2021 at 10:24 comment added emanresu A Not a dupe, but a lot more complex than it seems. Also, there are several ways to get to one position, and some involve backtracking - for example, how would an algorithm know how to get to a position with one black pawn advanced two squares?
