They get to the bottom of whether chess against a grandmaster could be won with remote-controlled sex toys

E2 to E3 would be (I'm changing the numbers to just count out the buzzes to make it easier. E is one short buzz.):

Buzz. Buzz buzz.

Buzz. Buzz buzz buzz.

(Now imagine the old notation "King's Bishop takes Queen's Knight")

for the record, it's not any formal notation. but the board is a grid of 8x8. I should have put it as 5x buzzes for 'e', and 2x' buzzes for 2, but, uh, y'all get the idea. (so my sample is actually 2e to 3e, but details)

there's actually no need from a move-calling perspective to identify what is on that square, or what's on the square that's being taken. There might be for tournament rules in chess, though, since the scorecard is a record of play for things. I'm just pointing out the technical feasibility of it.

I have no idea what you're saying. The letter E in Morse is one short buzz.

The old way to denote moves didn't use the grid notation. It called the pieces "King's Bishop" and "to" or "takes" then describes the piece being taken. The joke is imagine typing that out in morse code, instead of the much shorter letter and number.

I'm not using morse. I'm using a direct encoding of numbers to letters. basically its a coordinate system- 2,5 - 3,5.
