I have no idea what you're saying. The letter E in Morse is one short buzz.

The old way to denote moves didn't use the grid notation. It called the pieces "King's Bishop" and "to" or "takes" then describes the piece being taken. The joke is imagine typing that out in morse code, instead of the much shorter letter and number.

I'm not using morse. I'm using a direct encoding of numbers to letters. basically its a coordinate system- 2,5 - 3,5.
