There are many ways to make a move in chess:

Nf3 moves a kNight to f3, whichever knight can legally move there. if both can move there, see below

Nbf3 (or N1f3) moves a kNight from column b (or row 1) to space f3. if this is still ambiguous, see below

e1-f3 moves the piece at e1 to f3. this is completely unambiguous, but it is hard to follow a game in your head with this notation

there are other variations to indicate captures, castles, etc, but I think those are explained well enough in the rules to follow given the above explanation of the basics.

I am utterly confused about how to make a move in chess, I looked at the rules page and all it did was confuse me further.
