Chess Notation: Level 1

For the majority of chess moves, you will write down the name of the piece followed by the square that it moves to. For example, a Bishop that moves to f5 is written “Bf5”; a Knight thatmoves to c6 is written “Nc6” and so forth. For Pawn moves, you simply write down the squarethat the Pawn moves to. If a Pawn goes from b2 to b4, you write “b4”; if it moves from a7 to a6,you’d write “a6” etc.

Remember these abbreviations:

N means Knight B means Bishop R means RookQ means Queen K means King (Pawns have no abbreviation)

Using this knowledge, how would you notate the following opening, known as the Giuoco Piano?
