それでも歩は寄せてくる ・ When will Ayumu Make his Move? - Volume 3 Thread

Let’s consider the board on page ten. It has the following as the first move:

☗7六歩

Since this is the side that goes first, the reading begins 「先手(せんて)」. (For the second player, it’s 後手(ごて)).

Next, you read off the destination: なな、ろく

After is the piece: ()

All together, ☗7六歩 is 「先手(せんて)(なな)(ろく)()

Movement can be added after that, to help resolve ambiguity (if there are two possible pieces that could have made the move). You’ll see 打 for a piece dropped (placed onto the board), and 上 when a piece moved upward.

Promotion information may be added to the end as well.
