you hve 2 rooks on the e file. so it means Re6 moved to e5 because you also have Re1 that could have moved to e5
Chess notation. WHAT IS IT????????
Sort:
A lot of players just abbreviate pawn captures as ab (for a2 x b3 maybe) or dc (d4 takes c5 maybe). That's how I do it, well, when I used to play tournaments.

Hello, that notation means you played Re5, except there were two rooks on the e file. So to make it clear which rook you moved, we say, unabrieviated : Rook on line 6 to e5, which gives R6e5.

Thank you.
it could be re6e5 but both are in the e file. so they remove the first e, R6e5

Another thing about notation, there could theoretically be a Queen from line 6 capture e4 checkmate. I don't know what that would be called, but I decided to say this for no reason.

Me personally I use 1600s chess notation: "The white king commands his owne knight into the third house before his owne bishop." (Nf3)

Ok got it
I got R6e5 what does that even mean, here’s photo evidence.
It's the most self-explanatory thing ever. Not to mention that the picture even shows what it is.
