Nactation: Good job, Carlo. For the 64 played 24/20*/14*, I prefer the more descriptive K (Kill, hit twice), but R is perfectly fine. (I used K in my header so that the position can be later found either way.) There is zero ambiguity: hitting one checker with 24/18/14* would be lower-case r.

For the 54, you can use > (enter both/all) or U (up) or omit a symbol altogether as I did in my caption. The upward (pointing towards the roof) symbol of ^ refers instead to fanning. Details.

52 to play: White's position and threats are strong; Blue is desperate to deprive White of half her roll offensively while maximizing his own chance to secure an advanced anchor. Reducing the 6pt to three checkers while hitting on the 1pt is very ugly, but it seems like the least of evils with this poor roll.

With the deuce, I play 24/22 to get gammoned less often; otherwise 13/11 looks reasonable.

In short, I'd settle for x (hit-and-split, 24/22 6/1*).
