S32 is a code in OGS Puzzles?

That’s funny!

It reminds me of this one, where a “pass” from KataGo is shown as Q19 on the board, because “pa” is how Q19 is encoded in SGF.

This somehow feels like the reverse situation, where something looks a bit like coordinates turns into a pass… what happens with a slightly different number or letter, is S32 special?

(Edit: Perhaps it’s worth mentioning that the reason coordinates are given special treatment here is because they are automatically changed when you flip/rotate a puzzle, a very nifty feature but kind of inevitable to lead to some humorous mistake eventually, as not everything that looks like coordinates is)
