**If a Chess Piece is NOT Moving…or is Coming Back to Life…..check for NOTATION Formatting Error or Match Rule Breaking issue

***Common Notation MIstakes: 1) not including “x” in Qxd3 -> when Capturing a Piece, 2) Illegal Move without Using Z-Override -> Pawn Moving too many Squares / Knight moving to illegal Square / Row Numbering 1 - 8 / etc

***Common Wrong Piece Moved Issue: Two Knights & Two Rooks OVERLAP -> If Both Knights or Both Rooks can Legally Move to the Square, just Add Initial ROW or COLUMN Designator to Specify Desired ACTIVE Chess Piece -> ex. Rxdb3 or Rx4b3
 
->To Force an illegal Chess Move, use the Qb3d5Z style OVERRIDE method provided….ChessMatch2 is great for Special Demonstrations & Student Instruction
