?? = TERRIBLE move
? = Bad move
X = Not a good move
- = You could have won here
✓ - Good move
☆ - Very good move
★ - REALLY good move
! - Too good...
!! - The best move ever.
/ - Didn't move (yes, you can pass.)
% - Best move in this scenario
How does this work?
You just string things together. e3pf4x - White pawn on e3 captures piece on f4 a7p^q - White pawn on a7 goes to a8 and promotes to a queen
