I assumed Logarithm - Algorithm. Maybe yes, maybe no...

The logarithm of e4 is 4, naturally.

Naturally!! LOL

Another useful idea in chess logarithms is log(rank^file) = file * log(rank)
So for 10-based logs on the c file, simply calculate:

log [(3.00*10^8]^file) = file * 8.477

And really, four significant digits is accurate enough all the way up to
grandmaster level.

I'm sorry, but ... log (e4) = log e + log 4

No, Arfur is correct. Standard chess logarithms use the convention of
implied powers. So, the logarithm of e4, "naturally" would be the natural
logarithm of e^4.

ln(e^4) = 4

This is all explained in Nunn's book "Beating the Anti-Logarithms"
