Simpler? See post above. As far as I'm concerned, it's baseball that's backward, but I'll live with it and use it if I engage in communicating on a baseball board. This is not a baseball board, so why is this conversation taking place?

It's not a baseball vs softball "thing." FED
baseball uses the same convention as softball. It's a
FED thing!
Do any of you play chess? As long as we understand
which notation is intended - does it really matter.
What's the difference between the move e4 or P-K4? Most chessplayers can easily make the adjustment. Umpires should also be able to make that adjustment.
