The four decks follow the deck rules of the course: one figure per hero frame with a one-line caption, a frame that only summarised the neighbouring figure folded into one key-result line under that figure, bullet frames at 3 bullets, tables and derivation steps kept. Lecture 11 goes from 58 to 57 frames, Lecture 12 stays at 56, Lecture 13 goes from 61 to 60 and Lecture 14 stays at 57, all with no overfull box. The board setup sketch sits on the Goal and strategy frame of each deck. Captions that had no credit now carry the source named in the notes. The planning file records the round.
