Nice problem.

Below are a few random no-big-deal notes about Nactation headers (which I appreciate you using and I think give more life to the positions), in case you're interested, and to which you might or might not gravitate. (There's room for personal style.)

  • There is of course nothing wrong with writing out "Cube" (and you may prefer it for clarity), but you can save characters by shortening it to "C" (as most people here have done).

  • I usually write "at" (flanked by spaces) between the end of the move string and the score (whether it's DMP, GS, GG, -8-3, or whatever), as you did in your more recent header, though omitting it is acceptable.

  • There's no need for a space or slash between the -8 and the -3. Btw, I mentally read "-8-3" as "needs 8, needs 3."

  • For the current string, "637" is fine, but I'll just point out that "63P" is also fine, using the closer-to-6pt convention. If the 3pt is made (instead of the 7pt), the Nactation is 63p or 633.

  • In another header you wrote out "Crawford." Again, fine; but it is somewhat common to insert a lower-case c after or even in lieu of the 1. The header in question would be shortened to, "54S-63H-63H-42H-51R-61 at -5-1c." When it's post-Crawford, you can use a "p."

Cheers,

Nack
