Chess notation conventions: #chess

In chess notation, a knight capturing a pawn is written as "Nxe4", where the "x" indicates a capture. 

Here are some other chess notation conventions:

Piece names: The letters "a" through "h" represent the files, and the numbers "1" through "8" represent the ranks. The piece's name is used to indicate the move, such as "Kt–QB3" for a knight moving to the queen's bishop 3. 

Capture: The "x" is placed between the starting and destination squares to indicate a capture. For example, "Bxe5" means a bishop captures a piece on e5. 

Check: The "+" sign indicates check, such as "Bxc6+". 

Checkmate: The "#" symbol indicates checkmate, such as "R++". 

Promotion: Parentheses are used to indicate promotion, such as "P–R8(Q)". 

En passant: The "e.p." is appended after the move to indicate an en passant capture. 

Castling: "O-O" is used for castling kingside, and "O-O-O" is used for castling queenside. 

What is the notation for a pawn capture?

Special Characters and Cases. If a capture occurs, it is marked on the move with an x. For example, Bxf5, for a bishop taking on the f5 square. When a pawn captures, the file from which it departs is noted instead of a piece name, cxd5, meaning the pawn on the C file is taking a piece on the D file

What is the notation for the knight in chess?

With the exception of the knight, each piece is abbreviated as the first letter of its name: K for king, Q for queen, R for rook, B for bishop, and P for pawn. As knight begins with the same letter as king, it is abbreviated as either N, Kt or KT, the first being the modern convention.
