I think you can do Qdxe8++ , checkmate

Dunno if anyone already wrote this (it's seven pages), but in ye olden times notation was like: "White plays his king's bishop to queen's bishop four." So be glad it isn't that.

Since some chess websites use ++ instead of #, you could argue that Qa1xe4++ is the longest

++ is used for double check, and of course a Queen move cannot be a double check.

I think you can do something like Qd7xe6++ or Qd7xe6#.

Avatar of Suryaa12345432

Qd7xe6# is 7 characters

Avatar of Suryaa12345432

Wait, can you add 1-0 to the end of your post?

Like, Qd7xe6#1-0 without space

No

I think the longest is dxe3++e.p. 8 non-period characters. (Chess.com doesn't write double check or en passant, but this does)

Maybe dxc6e.p.+, I guess?

dxc8e.p.=Q+ maybe?

Almost quite! Except that en passant captures don't happen at the seventh and eighth ranks.

What is "++" is it a double check

Hm
Not sure if you would count 0-0-0# as longer??
Avatar of theycallmewow
I think either Nd2xe5++ or Nd2xe5 1-0 would be the longest

actually if you had doubled pawns on the file you could actually write something like c7xd8=Q#

No.

maybe if you manipulate the board so this could happen, it could be like
2372. exd8e.p.=Q#1-0 (20 including spaces and periods, 18 without periods, 17 without space or periods.)
including some methods like move number, en passant, 1-0 (win) and pawn promotion?

Avatar of tartyman01

if you manipulate the board, you could probably get en passant on 8th rank

chess.com lets you manipulate the board and the rules.

dxc6ep dxc6ep#!! (!! means enable commentary and ep means en passant
