[nvwbjnkz] Even more compressed chess notation

Create an even more concise notation than SAN for chess game scores.  For example, for most piece moves, specifying both a destination file and rank are redundant.  Perhaps a special symbol to indicate a piece moved to the unique square where it cannot be immediately recaptured.

The goal is to make chess more mainstream by publishing games in newspapers, but conserve ink and page area.

But perhaps QR code would be better, allowing games to be easily played through and analyzed electronically.
