Notation

Writing a move

• The move number followed by a full stop.
• The destination square, in capital letters: D3.
• A hyphen before it if a common block is entered: -C2.
• An equals sign if the special block is entered: =C7.
• An x for a capture: C4xC10.
• With dice, the numbers rolled and a slash first: 4/-A4.

Long and short form

The long form writes the starting square and the destination (C3D3) and is easier for beginners. The short form only writes the destination (D3). If two blocks could reach the same square, add the starting column (BD11) or row (8C7) to tell them apart.

Reaching the summit can be written G7, Xima, Cima, (*), 1-0 or Gana. A result of 1-0 means the first player won; 0-1, the second.
