NN is a chess abbreviation. In practical terms, it refers to traditionally used in game scores to indicate a player whose name is not known, or whose name the editor chooses not to publish (usually the loser). The origin is uncertain. It may be an abbreviation of the Latin nomina ("names"), or it may be short for the Latin phrase nomen nescio ("name unknown"). Sometimes N.N. If you see it in a database, book, or tournament page, treat it as shorthand and check the surrounding context.
