P-QB4 is an older type of chess notation. It is called descriptive notation and it's not used anymore.
P-QB4 means pawn to queen's bishop 4, in algebraic notation (which is used today) you would simply write c4.
I am not sure about Q-Q, it doesn't sound right to me, but someone else might be able to help.

P.S. It's O-O (castle Kingside) or O-O-O (castle Queenside), not Q-Q etc.

I'm reading more about chess and trying to figure out the movements and notations.
The problem I'm having is not knowing not all chess notations are the same.
What does Q-Q mean?
Or P-QB4?
A lot of this is over whelming to me and I know how to read basic notations.
I'm learning about the equilibrium of positions and their disturbances but I'm lost as I've ever been in chess. I used to think that just reading about chess would eventually help me pick it up but I'm starting to think I need more than that.
Please feel free to Give me any different terms that I might not know or positions. Thank you.
