The actual sequence leading to your ninth roll position is captioned on the left (above).

I gave a different sequence but in my haste this morning I confused White's third checker on her midpoint with the third checker on her 24pt shown in the right-hand diagram. In part, I guess I subconciously wanted the third checker back in order to make Blue's cube correct.

On the left, doubling is surely a big error (possibly a whopper). Blue is clearly favored, but he is down 5 pips with a third checker back and White has some structure.

In both captions, the plays that are sizable errors are shown in red.

In your Nactation attempt ("64S-63D-65H-63H-51E-53L?!-44G-42??"), you got all but two plays right:

64S-63D-65H-63H-51E-53

Above, White should have played @ (anchor, 24/16), but chose instead to play 16/11 10/7*. This (mis-)play can be nactated H (Hit) or D (Down), following appropriate conventions. Your choice of L (which means to Lift a blot to the safety of a point) does not apply to this play.

64S-63D-65H-63H-51E-53H-44G-42

Above, White has two good plays with the 42, both involving the 6/4* hit. The 4 should be used to cover either the 7pt or 4pt. White chose the latter.

For that play (11/7 6/4*), you can use either H (Hit, with down default) or N (Near, a play in each of the Near-side quadrants). The "most points" convention takes priority for the outer board portion of the play.
