The language independent [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICCF_numeric_notation ICCF numeric notation] as used in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_chess Correspondence chess] is a numerical pure coordinate notation, giving coordinates by two digits (File '1'-'8) rather than letters ('a'-'h') for the file. In case of promotions a fifth trailing digit is used: '1' for queen, '2' for rook, '3' for bishop and '4' for knight.

<Smith move descriptor> ::= <from square><to square>[<capture indicator>][<promoted to>]
<capture indicator> ::= 'Pp' | 'Nn' | 'Bb' | 'Rr' | 'Qq' | 'k' | 'E' | 'c' | 'C'
