Clearly I suck at this

you need to write Bb2, see #755150 or the reference linked in @chess' profile

you can continue the game from there as normal

Chess Notation

Standard Move (Piece to Square): Nf3 (Knight to f3)
Pawn Move: e4 (Pawn to e4)
Capturing Moves:
- Pawn Capturing: exd4 (Pawn on e-file captures on d4)
- Piece Capturing: Nxd4 (Knight captures on d4)
  - File Ambiguity: Nfxd4 (Knight from f-file captures on d4)
  - Rank Ambiguity: N3xd4 (Knight from rank 3 captures on d4)
  - Both Ambiguous: Nf3xd4 (Knight from f3 captures on d4)
Castling:
- Kingside: O-O
- Queenside: O-O-O
Pawn Promotion: a8=Q (Pawn moves to a8 and promotes to Queen)
Check: Add + after the move, e.g., Nf7+

that's ok, once the game starts you only need to type the move, like b2 in the comment.
