The squares are named after the Pieces which occupy them at the beginning of the game. The square occupied by the Queen is called the Queen's Square (QSq) and the squares in front of it are numbered in order across the board thus: Q2; Q3; Q4; Q5; Q6; Q7; Q8. It will be noted from DIAGRAM II., that Q8 of the Black Queen is the Queen's Square of the White Queen, as each player counts from his own side of the board. The names of the squares are abbreviated thus: KSq; K2; K3; K4; K5; K6; K7; K8; KBSq; KB2; KB3; KB4; KB5; KB6; KB7; KB8; KKtSq; KKt2; KKt3; KKt4; KKt5; KKt6 KKt7; KKt8; KRSq; KR2; KR3;
