Walter Montego: to me its much simpler to use for the same reasons you give for algebraic.. Algebraic too confusing to me.. I cant visualize the board with algebraic. I need to see the "X" for a capture which isn't present in algebraic. when I see something in notation for example E4,, what is moving to E4? I need to see "P"

am I the only person who still uses descriptive notation. I really still after over 40 years playing chess still find algebraic horrible. P-k4 forever

yes it is very complicated using the letters and numbers of the ranks and files. e4 tells me nothing. where as P-Q4 tells me exactly what was moved and where to. e4 is too vague what moved to E4?
