Title: notation and lingo
Post by loafes on Apr 16^th, 2014, 7:21am

I've just discovered this game and would like to start studying it to see if I can get any good. What I was wondering then is where I can learn notation and game terms/tactics.

I've watched a couple of games on YouTube and while they were definitely use full, I didn't always know what the commentators were talking about when they mentioned frames, swarms ect ect.

I figure I'll probably get some reading material at some point but right now money is tight and I'm literally just starting.

For vocabulary, here's a start:

The rest of the Wikibook can also be a good place to test the waters. It's a bit outdated, but it's free! :)

I didn't know about "Zwickmuhle".
