Hi

Anyone know if this book is written using algebraic or the older notation?

Followed your link and found a review (I was curious myself).

Some general comments. There are plenty of diagrams, and Euwe certainly utilizes them in all the right places, making it possiible to gain much from this work on-the-go, because his "expository power," as the blurb calls it, is tremendous. Euwe also does not overburden us with variations: he includes them if they are important to understanding the main play, or if they help illustrate the subject of the current chapter. Also (fair warning!), this book is written in Descriptive Notation (even using Kt for Knight), so you will have to know how to read this. But if you have been reading other classics, this should be no problem.

Algebraic.

It is the first algebraic edition. There's a button "Look Inside", use it to check for yourself.

It's not algebraic.  They tried to deceive us.  Oh, the horror...

 

Just so you know...

I think there are two versions of the book.  One is done by Nunn and the other is the one you linked to.  The one by Nunn is converted to algebraic.  I don't know about the other one.
