I altered the Nactation for a couple of reasons. First, when I look at subject lines containing Nactation I try to picture the position before opening the thread. Here I was thrown off for a second imagining '53H'. There's certainly nothing wrong with it and I know what play is being made but I feel 53R is more to the point.

Secondly when I did open it the cube had been turned (which it should have) but there was no mention of it. I forget Nack's preference for including the cube in a sequence like this but I've always used 'C' noting there's no need to identify the person took because the sequence continues. Lastly is just shortening 'gammon save' to 'S', one of the three major scores denoted by a letter. S for gammon save, G for gammon go, and D for double match point. Also seldom seen but in existence are Q for 'quasi-money' which is most often used when someone accidentally (or purposely) rolls out a position at 7 away 7 away instead of for money.

To the play in question, I prefer 13/7 opposed to 24/18. I keep the anchor and the blot count down. Since you posted it I expect the plays to be within' .01 of each other anyway so I can sleep at night if 24/18 is right.
