Nowadays we leave off the “p-”. Pawns are so limited in their movement that there is seldom a need to specify which one moved, except in the cases of a two pawns guarding or attacking a square. Otherwise pretty much the same.

I played at least a half dozen games daily for a few years in the 70’s. It came to an end when the Shah was disposed by Jimmy Carter State Dept and the Frogs, and my favorite competitors suddenly departed for parts unknown.

So I went back to assembly language ... a very poor substitute.
