Notation as u1l1
The center intersection is used a reference point on the board.
Each move of the game is recorded by simply recording its distance
from center, using the directional symbols
R for right,
L for left,
D for Down and
U for Up.
For example L2D2 means left two and down two.
If a stone played on an axis line, meaning that one of its
coordinate is zero, then the zero coordinate is simply left off.
For example, R3 would be the point three points to the right
of center, but zero points up or down.
The move onto center is written as 0.

- * to indicate move with capture
- # to indicate move with block
- @ to indicate move with atomic bomb
- - to indicate that a player forfeits the move
