Quite unique notation.Bit confusing.What's it called?

It's a mixture of Algebraic and Descriptive called 'Wonkerlund' and
soley used for solving problems/studies that have Knights.
Years ago when I switched from descriptive to algebraic
I discovered that CHANDLER has eight unique letters.
So I used my name in place of the A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H.
So e4 was d4. Nc3 was Na3 and h4 was r4.
This not only totally baffled my opponents it baffled me as well.
I only used it about twice.
Using the normal algebraic notation you can spell out words.
1.c4
2.a3
3.b3
4.b4
5.a4
6.g3
7.e3
The cabbage formation.

"For example" an h#2
1. Ba6 Rb3 2. Ba3 Ra4#
(this is more or less impossible but you get the idea, it is possible to include letters a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-k-q-r-b-n-x-O-O-e-p to spell out something nice, but what could it be?)
