In Response To: Introducing DASH - a new notation system (Timothy Chow)

You don't have to remember them all (though if you start doing the notation you will soon find them linked). I assume everyone realizes that if you start in the home board your points are A-F, so you can simply count outer board points "G-H-I" to see that the 9pt is I. Your midpoint is M ("M for mid") and the opponent's 6pt is S ("S for six").

I've never used mnemonic systems so I don't want to spoil anyone's fun; if people find DASH easier to learn and use, that's great.
