White to play 53: Bar/20* 13/10 is S, H or D (or B)


2O ' ' ' '5X '4X ' ' '3O

1X ' ' '1O4O2O3O ' ' '4X


From the tutorial, the definition of H is to hit and bring a checker down, hence 53H is completely unambigious here, with no need for assumption?

That is correct. Actually, though, I slightly prefer S to H, because the reader needn't even know the hit/down convention. That said, any of S, H or D (or B, which is a cousin of S though less common) should be clear enough for this case. Positions with a checker on the roof tend to grant more Nactation options.

Note that in my original post, I left H as is in your header (though I made the slight change to S in my diagram). However, when I saw your H/D discussion with Stick, I put S in the headers of my rollout posts, just so that all three letters would be represented in the thread. :)
