No no no, Steve. Silver at 7a is already at 6b. Original flow from
the diagram is;

(from white): S-6b, K-3h, P-6d, K-2h, S-6c,
S-3h, K-4b, R-7f, Bx8h, Sx8h, S-3b, G-7h, P-4d, N-7g,
G6a-5b, B*9f.

My question is black's P-7d instead of K-3h. Or do you think white
should have done the other move rather than S-6b??
