How does one annotate a game? Is there a standard?
|

Your question is not so clear ?
There is a standard for PGN, CB ... but not for human, I think.
You can found some annoted game wich every move was annoted (for exemple 'battle royale'), other with only symbol (informator format, for exemple), with only variation (annofritzed...).
If, there's a standard about "international" annotation is this one (informator) but not for all annoted game I think.

Maybe I should start with< What is a chess annotation?

Annotations are the annotator's remarks to a game. This can be simple observations, sequences of different lines of play or "color" commentary about such things as how each player reacted to each other or about their past encounters and attitudes toward each other as friends or enemies, or about the events leading to the particular game being annotated.
Most annotations are about why certain moves where not played, about what was better but not played, or about speculative lines of play.
These annotations become copyrighted material when the writer creates them, and so, cannot be included in public presentations of a game by another person without the permission of the author. The game score itself is not copyrightable, however. Of course, you can use annotations by someone else in your own personal database of games without permission, as long as such games remain personal or the annotations are stripped from the score when the game is offered to someone else.
More than you wanted to know, I suspect...
