Talk:Numeric Annotation Glyphs

Start this page

This page was started because I could not find an appropriate page on the Internet that explained exactly what NAGs were and how I could use them. I discovered the ChessPad PGN Editor which exploited non-standard NAGs to embed instructions to render a positional diagram. Further, there does not appear to be an authority accepting responsibility for defining (and publishing) standards for PGN file formats and the likes. So this page exists to be authorative at least in documenting the current state of play.tav (talk) 00:58, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong PGN specification

The server response is 403 forbidden due to wrong referer. However I used wget to make a backup copy at: gopher://zzo38computer.org:70/0textfile/miscellaneous/chess/pgn.final.txt However, this file is not the full PGN specification, and does not mention NAG. --Zzo38 (talk) 10:05, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The PGN Wikipage links to a valid site for a PGN specification which mentions NAG (sub-section 8.2.4) and defines first 140 (section 10) tav (talk) 15:03, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong symbols for attack and initiative

I think the symbols for initiative and attack are wrong. Right arrow should be attack and upwards arrow should be initiative. So the symbols are handled in the market leading chess database application Chessbase and so they are declared on the chess informant page http://www.chessinformant.org. I think chess informant invented these symbols, so they should be right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.247.102.7 (talk) 19:06, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Portable Game Notation?

I don't think NAGs have any context outside of Portable Game Notation. Shouldn't it be merged into that article? --IanOsgood (talk) 17:29, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
