-:My immediate reaction when I was reading this. When I realized this was going to be one of THOSE, I just stopped reading (I remember the Princess Bride comic was simarly overblown, with the excuse "What if someone hasn't seen the movie?". As such a unique person, who hadn't seen it but both reads xkcd AND this explanation site, I felt an obligation to mention that the extra explanation was quite unnecessary) :) I feel the explanation here is complete as of the first title, to wit "Chess notation (and annotation)". From that title on down can happily be deleted as unnecessary, the focus switches to teaching chess and its notation, not helping people understand the comic. - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.76|162.158.126.76]] 05:28, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

 :I think that too. There is WAY too much explanation here. Why is there an entire paragraph about a blunder when there isn't even one in the comic?

 The cartoon should have had Cueball talking to Black Hat, not White Hat. Since Cueball makes the first move in the conversation, by chess rules he would have been playing as White. Having Black Hat play as Black in chess would not only be more color-coordinated, it would be more appropriate for him to say "I don't know or care what that means" than it would be for Black Hat. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.160|162.158.75.160]] 20:39, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

-it feels noteworthy that 4 days before this comic, an episode of Scorpion aired which was heavily about competitive chess. Whether it's noteworthy or merely strange coincidence hinges on whether or not Randall watches that show. :) (which seems quite plausible, considering this comic is often about highly intelligent scientific thought, and that show attempts to depict the same) - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.76|162.158.126.76]] 05:28, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

 :::No problem with describing chess notation. I found it interesting having never used it. But for sure it should be below the transcript in a trivia section. Have moved it there and only linked from above. Then it will not seem to long for those coming just to get the general gist of what the point of the comic is. Thus it is now complete. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:53, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
