I can't answer this because I can't read chess notation

but I thought it might be an interesting topic for the chess.com people who can read notation

You should Google "chess notation" then. It's pretty straightforward and very easy to learn, just takes a bit of getting used to and you can begin to read it like you'd read a book.

An example from 1): Queen moves to File D, Rank 8... 2) Rook captures Queen on D8
