For example, Qg5 means “queen moves to the g-file and 5th rank” (that is, to the square g5). If there are two pieces of the same type that can move to the same square, one more letter or number is added to show the file or rank from which the piece moved, e.g. Ngf3 means “knight from the g-file moves to the square f3”.

What do you need to know about G5?
G5 creates a cubic B-spline in the XY plane with the X and Y axes only. P and Q parameters are required. I and J are required for the first G5 command in a series. For subsequent G5 commands, either both I and J must be specified, or neither.
When do I and J have to be specified in G5?
For subsequent G5 commands, either both I and J must be specified, or neither. If I and J are unspecified, the starting direction of the cubic will automatically match the ending direction of the previous cubic (as if I and J are the negation of the previous P and Q ).
What are the positions of the g54 datum?
For more about G54, G55 etc see below. The X, Y and Z positions give the distance from the machine datum (Machine zero point) to the working datum defined by the ‘P’ word. This enables us to set multiple datums within the program.
What do the G0 and G1 commands do?
The G0 and G1 commands add a linear move to the queue to be performed after all previous moves are completed. These commands yield control back to the command parser as soon as the move is queued, but they may delay the command parser while awaiting a slot in the queue.
