Thank you, Mike.

Your knowledge of html and work ethic both surpass mine. You have created a masterpiece!

I found just a few items that may need clarification.

33B: The more points convention is indeed the reason that 13/7 and 13/10(2) outrank other ways of playing two threes in the outer board. However (see your last sentence), it is the primary aspect of the 6pt convention (not the More Points Convention) that breaks the tie between those two plays.

31R: 18/17*/14 can be nactated in the H family (with the fourth member), though it is inadvisable. See my notes here.

64K: For H, "down" is not meant as a requirement, but rather as a ranking that supersedes the more points convention. As you suspected, I have already divorced the down convention from K; it failed to serve the same useful purpose because down referred only to a third or fourth portion -- the concept applied only to doublets.

65S (second paragraph): The play mentioned in passing, Bar/20 7/1, is not in the S (or Z) family. Rather, it is in the C family. (I'm certain it was just an oversight.)

55B: On the far side of the board, there are two ways to play two 5s. By 6pt tie-breaker, B = bar/15 14/9(2), and b = bar/20 21/16 14/9(2). For completeness, B = bar/10 14/9, and b = bar/20 21/11 14/9 (consistent with your other comments).

Kudos again on the creation of a great Nactation tutorial for game 2.
