I wasnt sure how to start this thread out so I just started typing… Here is the result of my shenanigans.
Basic Information:
The Board
For each game we will follow the notation convention know as algebraic notation, which uses a single letter and number to name each square and a letter for each chess piece.
The numbering and lettering of the chess board is oriented to the position of the player who will use the white pieces and looks like the below image: These letters are always lowercase.
The pieces
Chess Piece Notation is always CAPITAL and is as follows:
Piece
Notation
King
K
Queen
Q
Bishop
B
Knight
N (because K is already taken)
Rook
R
Pawn
[No notation]
Game Play:
At the start of a new game the person playing as white goes first. To make a move you would state what piece and where your move is made.
Example:
Lets assume you are playing as white and you have decided you will start by moving your pawn that is in front of you Queen(Q).
In order to make this move you will start with the letter of the column you are in “e” followed by the number of the row you are moving too “4” Pawn to e4
Now as i said with pawns you don’t need to state its a pawn since its implied . To make the move just use e4 instead
Now for a named piece:
Lets move our kNight out in front of our Bishop. Notation would be N for the knight and b1 is the location to start, f3 is the destination.
This move would look like this: Nf3.
Each person takes a turn and the whole turn would be noted as White : Black
Example:
Using our kNight as white with black following up in a mirrored fashion. In our notation we have
Nf3 : Nc6
Lets put it all together and make a couple moves for each player: we will play the same moves for Black as we will for White.
Pawn from in front of Queen and then our kNight in front of our Bishop all on the left side
e4 : e5
Nf3 : Nc6
I hope this is a decent explanation of what goes on in any given game. Let me know if there is anything i need to clarify and ill be happy to try and help.
Here is a template for each game and the layout for reference.

So who wants to play a game of chess at the shack.
Is this like the time i had an idea for a personal chef that just traveled with you so you could get food at any hour of the night… then realized i was trying to invent fast food.
Of course, its our shack. those are some dope knights.
This can be played slow, fast or whatever as long as we know where the pieces are were good
This whole idea came up because i was wondering how high i could be and not be totally trash at this then i found the weed chess set and im hooked back in lol
Been playing chess my whole life, started with grandfather. He would tell me stories about his life and I would learn and listen all afternoon. Now when I play chess I think of the stories and enter the battle field of strategy.
