My book does not use expanded algebraic notation, instead it uses
abbreviated figurine algebraic notation. I chose figurine notation
since it allows people whose first language is not English to also
follow the moves. Although it is not expanded notation you may still
find it easy to follow since every move is illustrated by a board.
Check out some of the samples and see what you think.

I virtually never buy chess books that use algebraic notation.
It's too hard for me to follow unless the notation is expanded.
Does yours?
Expanded eg:
pd4 pe5
pxpe5 qxpe5
