"Following is a sampling of ways of giving the move N-KB3 ( Nf3 in
algebraic) in descriptive notation, taken from books of different years
to illustrate the slow evolution of that notation system. Notice the
subtle changes that creep in virtually one letter at a time; apparently
too much change could not be tolerated all at once!

1614: The white king commands his owne knight into the third house
before his owne bishop. 1750: K. knight to His Bishop's 3d. 1837: K.Kt.
to B.third sq. 1848: K.Kt. to B's 3rd. 1859: K. Kt. to B. 3d. 1874: K
Kt to B3 1889: KKt -B3 1904: Kt-KB3 1946: N-KB3"

The History of Chess Notation

You might also want to look into Staunton's original style of notation.
Then too, Koch and Kieseritzky have their own styles, with Koch still
being used in international correspondence competition. Jaenisch is
worth a look.

Then again, you could simply sit there and taste your foot.
