What is the algorithm for chess?
Algebraic chess notation is the most widely used form of recording and expressing chess moves. For example: 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 d4...
N: Knight, K: King, Q: Queen, B: Bishop, R: Rook. Then there are the files A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, hence a a pawn moving four squares on the e-file would e4. A pawn moving on the a-file two squares would be annotated as a2.
Descriptive chess notation is the less used format of recording and expressing moves, since it is less compact and more difficult to comprehend. At one time it was widely used, but was defeated by the algebraic system.
Example: 1. P-K4 PK4 Where the P stands for pawn and K for king,hence it can be translated as "pawn moves in front of king four squares. The last number in the annotation stands for the number of moves the pawn in front of the king moved.
This was the more complicated version and failed to catch on.

Where did the name Chess come from?
Chess is commonly believed to have originated in India during the Gupta empire, where its early form in the 6th century was known as caturaṅga, which translates as "four divisions [of the military]" - infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, represented by the pieces that would evolve into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook, respectively. Both the Persians and Arabs attribute the game of chess to the Indians.In Sassanid Persia around 600 the name became shatranj and the rules were developed further. Shatranj was taken up by the Muslim world after the Islamic conquest of Persia, with the pieces largely retaining their Persian names. In Spanish "shatranj" was rendered as ajedrez, in Portuguese as xadrez, and in Greek as zatrikion, but in the rest of Europe it was replaced by versions of the Persian shāh ("king"), which was familiar as an exclamation and became our words "check and chess".Murray theorized that this change happened from Muslim traders coming to European seaports with ornamental chess kings as curios before they brought the game of chess.
Knights Templar playing chess, Libro de los juegos, 1283.
The game reached Western Europe and Russia by at least three routes, the earliest being in the 9th century. By the year 1000 it had spread throughout Europe. Introduced into the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors in the 10th century, it was described in a famous 13th-century manuscript covering shatranj, backgammon, and dice named the Libro de los juegos.
Another theory contends that chess arose from the game xiangqi (Chinese Chess) or one of its predecessors.
Chess was invented in ancient India, where it was called "chaturanga" in Sanskrit. This was shortened to "chatrang." When the Muslims conquered India in the 600s AD, they took the name and pronounced it "shatranj." The Spanish transliterated this as "ajedrez." In Portuguese, it was pronounced "xadrez" and in Greek "zatrikion." In English, the Persian word "shah" which means "king," evolved into "check" and "chess."
If you mean sides as in the players, they are simply "White" and "Black". White always moves first then Black moves. If you means sides as on the chessboard itself, they are called "files" as are all the vertical lines of squares on the board.
