Chess notation is the term for several systems that have developed to record either the moves made in a game of chess or the position of pieces on a chessboard. The earliest systems of notation used lengthy narratives to describe each move; these gradually evolved into terser notation systems. Currently algebraic chess notation is the accepted standard and is widely used. Algebraic notation has several variations. Descriptive chess notation was used in English- and Spanish-language literature until the late 20th century, but is now obsolete. There are some special systems for international correspondence chess. Portable Game Notation is used when working with computer chess programs. Systems also exist for transmission using Morse code over telegraph or radio.
Some move-recording notations are designed mainly for use by human players; others are designed for use by computers.
In recognized competitions, all players are required to record all the moves of both players in order to resolve disputes about whether a player has made an illegal move and what the position should now be. In addition, if there is a time limit rule that requires each player to complete a specified number of moves in a specified time, as there is in most serious competition, an accurate count of the moves must be kept. All chess coaches strongly recommend the recording of one's games so that one can look for improvements in one's play. The algebraic and descriptive notations are also used in books about chess.
Planck was wrong
Freud was too
And that€™s the truth
Leibnitz and Spinosa
And all those other fools
But when they got drunk
They were all the same
And you know when we get drunk
You know were all the same
People die and drown
And drink till they are blue
(and that€™s the truth)
They become nothing special
And to themselves they can€™t be true
Chorus:
Why are we so fucked up all the time
So willing to give up what€™s left of our minds
Not using our ten percent hiding in tents
Of stupidity darkness ignorance
It€™s like putting a gun into your mouth
Five empty chambers
One comes out
Fear€™s your best friend
You€™ve got holes in your shoes
A meaningless life
Well don€™t you know it can€™t be true
Chorus
