Have you tried to read the game scores in a chess book written in Russian?

Yes, I have several Russian books in my chess library. Russian game scores from recent books are easy to read - they use figurine algebraic just like anyone else. Older works also use algebraic notation (the Russians used algebraic notation when the West was still entrenched in Descriptive Notation) but with Russian letters for the pieces:

King is "Kp"

Queen is "ф" like the Greek letter phi, an oval with a vertical line through it

Rook is "Л "

Bishop is "C"

Knight is "S"

You don't need pawn in algebraic notation; its symbol "П" is the same as the Rook without the little hook on the first vertical. With a little practice, it's easy to remember that Kp e1 is our Ke1, ф c2 is our Qc2, etc.

If I found a book of games I wanted, I sure wouldn't let the Russian put me off. Now translating text or annotations, that's a different matter! Below is one site that charts the English/Cyrillic alphabets.

They stare upon one yet another plenty and he or she fondles the bishop! it is merely a sprint on the numerous opportunities for you. merely you may verify. maximum heavily, what you write might desire to be comprehensible to the reader, an quintessential part of the story, and make a contribution to moving the story forwards.
