I thought of a different kind of coordinate system while in the shower. Each face has four sides, and each side borders on two other faces that share a number in their designations. For example, 01 borders on 02/12, 03/13, 04/14, and 05/15. So, its edges may be designated 2, 3, 4 and 5. Call the center square 00 and the eight spaces surrounding it 02, 23, 03, 34, 04, 45,05, and 45, dependinv on which sides each is closest to. Then call the outermost spaces 22, 32, 33, 43, 44, 54, 55, and 54. The higher numbers are used for spaces further from the center. Here an 11 multiple means a space that is two spaces toward that edge from the center. Any space in the game may then be designated by two numbers, perhaps written with a hyphen between them, such as 01-00 for the space White's king begins on.
