Oops -- I didn't inspect your diagram carefully. I stand by my analysis for 52D-63S-31P-32Z-C-61P-44, but that is not your position!

Your position arises from 52S-63S-31P-32Z-61P-44. In other words, you made two Nactation errors:

    1) "52D" should have been 52S (Split).
    2) "32R-D" should have been 32Z (reverse split).

It is acceptable, though unorthodox, to use two letters to describe a single play -- sort of Nactation with training wheels. Thus, you could have written the fourth play as 32RD, for Run + Down. It was the insertion of the extra hyphen that caused the problem: Petter and I interpreted it as two entities: 32R (though it should mean 18/13 anyway) and the stand-alone D (an old-fashioned usage meaning D = Double instead of C = Cube).

I am basing my comments on the fact that the cube is in the middle, that turning it would have been a whopper, and that it now seems unlikely you would use R alone to describe the 18/16 13/10 play. The next time I'm on this site I'll check to see if you've verified that your diagram is correct, and if so I'll analyze that position.

Cheers,

Nack
