Nactate This!

Very astute, Daniel.

42P is a fine Nactation (and one that I missed). It is perfectly acceptable to break a point or two in a P (Point) family play. The only requirement is that you use all parts of the roll to make a single new point, without spares. (There is an exception for checkers entering from the bar. They need not be part of the new point.) Even covering an existing blot can be nactated P, so long as the entire dice roll is used to make the move.

The “arial” (area-based) Nactation for 13/9 11/9 is D (Down). All plays in the Down family result in a net decrease of at least 1 in the number of owned points we have. By the 6pt Convention, owning the 9pt beats other members of the Down family, because the 9pt is closer to the 6pt than either the 11pt, 12pt or midpoint. Blot and spare locations are irrelevant in this case.
