I know how to play chess and everything, and I can play well and all, but I don't know the cooridinates or grid language or what ever people keep using to explain moves. Of coarse Nd4 means Knight to "d4" on the board, right? But then i see like an "x" or a "+". what do those mean? Also, i see Nd4 f5 or something like that. Could someone please explain this to me?

+ means check, x means a capture on that square. So exd4 would mean a pawn capture on d4 I beleive. Nxd4 would be knight take d4. # means checkmate, ! means a good move, !! means a very good often game winning move, ? is a doubtful or bad move, ?! is a surpising and perhaps good move. Q=queen, N=knigh, pawn=no letter, R=Rook, B=bishop, K=king. Anything else?
