I don't want to be a pain, but I really recommend to stick with the international standards for transmitting moves in
correspondence chess, guys. That is
- to use full notation that mark figure (except pawns), orginal and target square (or use international four-digit field codes)
- to keep track of your match by always numbering your moves,
- to repeat the last move(s) of your opponent before giving your own reply.

This is no pedantic thing, but to prevent against mishaps, misreadings, and to save you from posting a reply that you have calculated while having read the last move of your opponent wrong. If you write his move before your reply, you may note your mistake BEFORE you post your move.

You agreed to take back moves, which is okay. but standard is not to allow that. However, if both players agree to that before a match, it's fine. We do not play a serious tournament here.
