In order to facilitate writing down the moves, we designed a notation system in cooperation with Bao masters. In this system every hole has a number: one to eight for every row. The front row is called A (or a for your opponent), the back row is B (or b for your opponent). The difference between the capital and small letters is the difference between black and white in Chess. L means playing (to the) left, R means playing (to the) right. > means that the seeds of the nyumba are sown. So A5R> means a seed is put in the fifth hole from the left on the front row, capturing opposing seeds and entering those seeds sowing them fromt he right. * means that there is no capturing (takasa). So A3R* means that the seeds in the third hole from the left are sown to the right, because no capturing was possible,
