There is no other universally-recognised notation comparable to [[Algebraic notation (chess)|algebraic chess notation]] for Go.  There are several methods in use, including:
* Using chess-like notation, so (on a 19x19 board) points are named {{mono|a}}–{{mono|t}} ({{mono|i}} is excluded) for one axis, and 1-19 for the other.
* A similar system using [[Japanese numerals]] instead of letters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pbase.com/damezumari/image/1361252 |title=Japanese numbering of Go-board |website=Pbase.com |accessdate=2008-08-12 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020230156/http://www.pbase.com/damezumari/image/1361252 |archivedate=October 20, 2012 }}</ref>
* Using numbers for both axes, e.g. 3-4 is on the third row and fourth column from a corner.
* Pierre Audouard devised an elegant system using a letter a, b, c or d to designate the reference corner, plus one or two numbers to indicate the position relative to the corner. An equivalent system was used in ancient Chinese texts.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://senseis.xmp.net/?AudouardCoordinates |title=Audouard coordinates|website=Senseis.xmp.net |accessdate=2012-02-17}}</ref>

Since the Go board is symmetrical with no particular sides, it makes no difference which corner is used as the reference point from which to count coordinates.
