2:32:49 I feel like you're making it a bit too complex, Lex!
Unless I'm misunderstanding of course. Chess notation is a lot more easy to understand that it initially feels like when GMs are spewing them out faster than a machine gun. Bc3 is "Bishop to square C3". Rc3 is the same, but for a rook. Q = queen, K = king, N = knight and no letter (e.g. just C3) are for pawns. That gives you all information you need. X is used for when a piece is captured, but afaik, it's unnecessary, cause it will be fairly obvious since the square will be occupied by the opponents piece. O-O is kingside castling, and O-O-O is queenside. That's all you need. Convert that to morse code, and you have e.g.
Pawn to C3 = -- stop *--
Rook captures the queen on F8 = stop *** stop ---**
Bishop to A7 = * stop stop --**
Learning the morse codes seems a lot more of a challenge than understanding chess notation. Then again, I might've completely misunderstood you.
Edit: Listened to the interaction again, and if I'm understanding you guys correctly, Levi is saying just knowing the square would be enough, but you would need to know the entire move. And you would get that information by the method outlined above. Just one extra letter, except for when it's a pawn move.
The only issue I see is putting the device to near the prostate, cause it would be very stressful and embarrassing to visibly c00m your panties during a over-the-board game ;pppp
