FORSYTH NOTATION

A way of writing moves, invented by David Forsyth (1853-1909) from Scotland. Starting with the top rank of the board, the initial letter of the piece is put down from left to right. The vacant squares are indicated by a figure giving their number and the end of each rank is indicated by a sloping stroke. The White pieces are represented by capitals and the Black by lower case letters.

In Forsyth Notation, this position would be recorded as:
