Chess notation (specifically descriptive notation, for the pedantic)
uses one to three question marks to indicate incredulity, and one to
three exclamation points (!) to indicate surprise, or compliment the
player on a really good move. Those conventions go back at least to the
mid-19th century.
Before anyone protests that he doesn't play chess, so I shouldn't expect
him to know this, I don't. This is explanatory. He has the opportunity
to learn something.
