Hi Everyone,

One of our newer members of our Millennium 3D Chess*
group, Aaron, just caught a game notation error in the
game between Jeff Burhans vs. William D'Agostino [0-1]
which was completed on July 30, 2005.

On move 36, Black moves a pawn to 3g5, however, Black
has pawns at 2g6 and 3g7 which both can move to 3g5.
The correct move should have been recorded as:

36. ... 33g5

This "33g5" notation designates that the pawn on level
three was moved to 3g5.

Please note that all move notation always ends with
the "Level-Column-Row" format, and any additional
information will indicate from where the chess piece
was moved, for example, from level 3.

Likewise, the same move could have used the alternate
notation "73g5" which is equally acceptable. In this
case, the "7" designates that the pawn in row 7 was
moved to 3g5.

As a general rule, always use the shortest notation
which properly describes the correct legal move. It
is the player's option to use a number indicating
level (or row) or letter from column. As you can
guess, there will be times when extra information is
needed such as when a piece is on level 1 and another
identical piece is on row 1 and both pieces could be
moved to the same square.

So, additional information such as the level plus
column, or column plus row, or level plus row, can be
used as a move prefix. In rare occasions, it could be
necessary to include the full "level-column-row" of
the starting location as a prefix to the move, but
this is a very rare occurrence which has not happened
in any of the games which I have played.

Finally, I wish to personally thank Aaron for catching
this error. I have corrected the game record, and
please let me know if anyone finds any other errors
with any of the posted games!

As always...

Enjoy the Play!*

Will
