[edit] Reordering

I reordered the symbols into symbols of increasing effectiveness of a move to make more sense. --70.111.224.85 13:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Symbols

Some of the symbols can be a single character, for example ‼. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 15:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  !! Brilliant move

This has been added to "!! Brilliant move" or the start of a forced checkmate. I'm not familiar with this. Can a reference be provided? If not, I think it should be removed (unless the consensus is to keep it). Bubba73 (talk), 21:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I've decided to remove that, for now at least. In 39 years of reading chess books, I've never seen "!!" used that way. If there is a citation for that, it should go back in. Bubba73 (talk), 00:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the removal. In a position like in the diagram, I would not give a "!!" for Rd8+, nor do I think any annotator would. (I would probably give a "??" for any other move, and perhaps some more question marks for Rc1.) Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Exactly. I don't think that any move that leads to checkmate should get a !!, only a brilliant one. Bubba73 (talk), 15:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
