I've just bought an old book on chess (The Art of Attack in Chess) and it uses descriptive notation. I've gone through the Wikipedia article to get the gist of it, but the book keeps using a lowercase t in the notation, could somebody explain what this means and translate this into algebraic notation?
There are so many wonderful books out there that still use descriptive notation. You would be doing yourself a favor by learning it! And it's not that hard.

Thanks.
