With the advent of the computer almost all games are recorded in algebraic notation.  I personally find descriptive notation to come more naturally in understanding a game.  Would it not be a service if more chess programs used descriptive notation in recording and playing a game?  Shouldn't it be a fairly simple algorithym to translate algebraic to descriptive notation?  It is my opinion that the quality of many 1400 to 1500 rated players would dramatically improve.

1. P-K4, P-K4 2. N-KB3 N-QB3 is Descriptive Notation

Having grown up with DN I much prefer algebraic due to the uniqueness each square has.

I don't like Descriptive as white and black have different perspectives, e.g.

1. e4 e5

1. P-K4 P-K4

The second one is much more confusing, and harder to visualise, IMO.

Algebraic notation is easier imo. It's pretty much just x and y values from, well, algebra...

The only reason I learned Descriptive Notation was to read older books. Algebraic is easier to visualize, but after reading and playing some games in DN, to me they are about the same.

if you get a copy of chessbase light it will do the translation for you with a few clicks of the mouse.
