Need to find best books in non-figurine algebraic notation.
Sort:
Simple Chess by Michael Stean is in non-figurine algebraic. (The "new algebraic edition"). I was actually quite surprised. I presumed they were all figurine notation these days.
Hi friends, I didn't think that I'd actually be searching for this or have difficulty finding them but I've found very few books that are actually in what I'd call "true" algebraic notation. The few I did buy are good books but they're figurine algebraic. They're very annoying for me to read as I can follow non-figurine notation intuitively while the small chess piece symbols are just a pain to. Often they are printed in a way that makes them blurred. I also simply don't like them.
To my surprise I've not found many books notated the way I like. Biggest chess book publishers seem to have chosen figurine notation for all of their books.
If you know publishers or books currently in print (or digital format) that use letters for chessmen please give me some titles to get. I am pretty much looking for books for players 1200 to 1800 or so.
