I know it does in German, which kinda was adopted as an international standard: S for Springer (jumper)
The letter "S" stands for Knight in Norwegian?

Looks like he's also using D for queen T for rook and L for bishop.
These are common ones. I know there are different names, but I remember D as "dame" and T as "tower" but I don't know why bishop is an L... I'm sure google would tell you.
But yeah, S for Springer is a knight.

Well, for the record, the above image is from Kieseritzky's publication "la Régence." Kieseritzky also employed an unusual notation system of his own invention.

Or they could have stuck with Bugger and kept the B.

Anyone notice something weird in Magnus Carlsen's scoresheet in this article?

The knight moves are notated with the letter "S" not "N". Anyone know the reason?
