I have 2 questions as I learn chess notation,
the first is so basic but has me confused.... the second is probably more nuanced.
1) when they tell you it's #30, is that just one players move or both players? i.e. is white odd moves and black even moves? or do they each get a move at #30?...... a bit bizarre I have to ask this. but the chess notation I'm trying to get through is really consdensed and seems kinda garbled... which leads into question #2?
2) is there a standard for chess notation for "what if my opponent does X vs. Y vs. Z" on his move?..........
FYI I am using Chess Tactics, Volume 1 by Carsten Hansen.. I have previously only looked at a few FT weekend chess puzzles....
thx in advance
............ p.s. in the time writing this, I've figured a bit more out..
