Fun fact: "descriptive notation" was already considered outdated and backwards in the 1840s (yes, 180 years ago!), when Paul Morphy was just a kid. The whole world got rid of it in the next few decades, except (to no one's surprise) Britain and the US.
Thanks. You remind me of Batgirl.
Why Batgirl left is bad reflection on Chess.com. (I don't know why.)
You can write down the moves in any notation, as long as you can reconstruct the game. That is the purpose of a record. It can be VHS or Betamax, pan-and-scan or interlace.
Article 8: The recording of the moves
8.1 How the moves shall be recorded:
8.1.1 In the course of play each player is required to record his/her own moves and those of his/her opponent in the correct manner, move after move, as clearly and legibly as possible, in one of the following ways:
8.1.1.1 by writing in the algebraic notation (Appendix C), on the paper ‘scoresheet’ prescribed for the competition.
8.1.1.2 by entering moves on the FIDE certified ‘electronic scoresheet’ prescribed for the competition.
blah, blah, blah
What about Long Algebraic?
Instead of
Nf3
N-g1-f3?
What about Coordinate?
g1-f3
