C7xE5 (QxN) Convention would put the QN as the one most "right" on the board ("left" from White's perspective). Another way to I.D. it would be N(B3)xP. I think it's probably confusing if one does not fully understand the manner, as I was briefly confused when you moved your Bishop before. I glanced at your English Notation first and saw you had B-N5. But there were 2 Bishops that could have moved to N5. The English would have been written, in that case, as KB-N5 or B(1)-N5 or B(B1)-N5 or B-QN5. Agreed, in these two cases Algebraic is easier if English is not fully understood with respect to it's nuances. English is easier for me, in any event, only because it was the law of the land 30 plus years ago and that's what was predominate in the U.S. at the time. For my own part, I still have to "count" the letters and numbers out to find D5 (for example) and as you have seen, I occasionally confuse which side I should be counting from.
