A game or series of moves is generally written in one of two ways; in two columns, as White/Black pairs, preceded by the move number and a period:
:'''1. e4 e5'''
:'''2. Nf3 Nc6'''
:'''3. Bb5 a6'''
or horizontally:
:'''1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6'''
Moves may be interspersed with commentary, called ''annotations''. When the {{chessgloss|game score}} resumes with a Black move, an [[ellipsis]] (...) fills the position of the White move, for example:
:'''1. e4 e5 2. Nf3'''
::White attacks the black e-pawn.
:'''2... Nc6'''
::Black defends and develops simultaneously.
:'''3. Bb5'''
::White plays the [[Ruy Lopez]].
:'''3... a6'''
::Black elects [[Ruy Lopez#Morphy Defence|Morphy's Defense]].
