How to fill out chess scoresheet

How to fill out a chess scoresheet:

1. Start by entering the date and location at the top of the scoresheet. This helps in identifying the game later on.
2. Write down the names or initials of the players. The scoresheet should clearly indicate which player is playing with the white pieces and which one has the black pieces.
3. Each move in the game should be recorded on the scoresheet. Start by writing down the number of the move, followed by the move itself. For example, "1.e4" denotes the first move of the game, where the player with white pieces has moved their pawn to e4.
4. If a capture is made, indicate it by using an "x" between the starting and ending squares of the captured piece. For example, "5.Bxf6" means a bishop captured a piece on f6.
5. If a pawn is promoted, specify the promoted piece using the "+" symbol (e.g., "8.c8=Q" means a black pawn on c8 got promoted to a queen).
6. If a player gives check, indicate it by using the "+" symbol after the move (e.g., "10.Qh5+" means white moved their queen to h5, checking the black king).
7. If a player gives checkmate, use "#" after the move (e.g., "18.Qf6#").
8. If there are any annotative symbols or comments you want to add, you can do so in the margins of the scoresheet.
9. Remember to record the final result of the game. This can be done with abbreviations such as "1-0" for a win by white, "0-1" for a win by black, or "½-½" for a draw.
