or Pe7xQd8=R#?
Longest individual notation?
Sort:
or maybe (if you could capture during castling) then maybe a double disambiguated capture long castle unaccepted draw check/mate? (while also capturing a double disambiguated queen)
so a1RO-O-Oxc1Q=#?
Qg2xd5# and things in that format is probably longest. I can't think of anything longer because the only extension to notations are +, # and x and x and (# or +) can come together plus one piece then a square than x than the square it moves to then + or #.
I thought f7xRg8=Q# would be the longest, since that is 9 characters without any ? or ! but I could be completely wrong
It might be e5xd6ep#. The move e5 indicates that the pawn started at e5. The notation xd6 shows that the pawn captured an opponent’s piece and landed on d6. The "ep" signifies that the pawn took the opponent's piece en passant. Also, the hashtag indicates Checkmate. And the Notation has 8 Characters.
ep is not mandatory and dosent show up on chess.com if you try exd6# (there is no 5 because no two pawns on the same file can move to the same square) and # is possible. Here is my best demonstration.

Many pawn moves can ocur in games, each of which resets the 50-move count. Probably the game can extend to like 2000 moves? (if White is the player to wipe out the entire army of Black, then the maximum number of pawn pushes is 6 x 8 = 48, while the maximum number of captures is 15, so the absolute maximum number of moves in the game without a 50 move rule being claimed is (48 + 15 + 1) x 50 = 3200, while the maximum number of moves without meeting the 75 move automatic draw is (48 + 15 + 1) x 75 = 4800,texas roadhouse calories but it is hard to achieve the first 50 moves without captures, pawn pushes and breaching the threefold repetition rule).
Yes i see this

To use sennsationalist's idea.
If you wanted to write QxN+ in this situation you'd even have to specify which knight.
So Qc4xNe6+
(Ok so it's not totally necessary)
Yeah nice try. I think that's 7 characters.
And not totally necessary, as we don't yet have two pieces occupying one square.
On that note, will Chess.com bring in multi-layer chess?? lol
yeah

Isn't the move number part of the notation? But not sure how high a move number can be. Is this possible? (extended from work above)
1. Nf3 Nf6
2. d4 e6

4. c4 d5
5. dc5 Bc5

999. Ra3 Nb4
1000. Qa1xe4+
That's 13 characters including the space!
Yes, but then we can go to infinity moves, which can make the longest notation
