{{Template shortcuts|AN chess}}
{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Algebraic notation/styles.css}}

This template is used in WikiProject Chess articles containing chess moves written in algebraic notation. It generates a <nowiki>{{side box}}</nowiki> to alert the reader to the fact, and provides a link to [[Algebraic notation (chess)|Algebraic notation]]. The tag comes in three flavors:

==Articles==
{{algebraic notation|pos=left}}
To place '''right''', specify: <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=right}}</nowiki></code> 
To place '''left''', specify: <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=left}}</nowiki></code> 
To place '''adjacent to the [[H:TOC|TOC]]''', specify: <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=tocleft}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=toc}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=TOC}}</nowiki></code>

==Sections==
{{algebraic notation|pos=secleft}}
To place '''right''', specify: <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=secright}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=section}}</nowiki></code> 
To place '''left''', specify: <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=secleft}}</nowiki></code>

==Examples==
{{algebraic notation|pos=egleft}}
To place '''right''', specify: <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=egright}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=example}}</nowiki></code> 
To place '''left''', specify: <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=egleft}}</nowiki></code>
 
Tips:
* Avoid using an article-level tag in a biography article. (It detracts from the lead image.) Use a section-level tag(s), or diagram-level tag(s), instead.
* Try to place section-level tags nearest where they're needed. (For example, if a section is long and chess moves appear only in a later subsection, use the tag in the subsection.)
* Unlike the other options, <code>pos=tocleft</code> and <code>pos=toc</code> and <code>pos=TOC</code> generate the template sequence: <blockquote><code><nowiki>{{TOC left}}</nowiki></code> <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> <code><nowiki>{{algebraic notation|pos=left}}</nowiki></code> <code><nowiki>{{clear left}}</nowiki></code> </blockquote>... so it won't always work as desired when competing images exist to the '''right'''. In that case, first isolate the competing images using the template <code><nowiki>{{stack|</nowiki></code>''image1''<code><nowiki>|</nowiki></code>''image2''<code><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>.
