Rank disambiguator chosen when the file suffices · case 04

Nb1-d2 with a knight on f3 is written "N1d2" instead of "Nbd2".

Case contract

Input: {"board", "from", "to"} for a knight, bishop, rook, queen or king move. Return SAN (no check suffix): upper-case piece letter, then a disambiguator only if another same-colour piece of the same type could also reach the target (sliders need a clear path): the origin file if it is unique among those pieces, else the origin rank if unique, else the full origin square; then "x" if the target is occupied; then the target.

Why this case matters

Exported PGN must be re-readable; a wrong disambiguator makes the game unreplayable.

One recorded failure

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
