First derive the intersection constraints. Since is nef and are effective, ; their sum is , so both vanish. Since the movable divisor is nef, , and forces both to vanish. In particular
For every component of , nefness and imply . The isotropic orthogonality consequence of the Hodge index theorem gives . If , Riemann–Roch theorem for algebraic surfaces and Serre duality give , since cannot be effective. Choose different from . It cannot contain : otherwise would be a nonzero effective numerically trivial divisor, contradicting its positive intersection with an ample divisor. Choose a member of avoiding . Replacing one copy of in by now produces a member of with smaller multiplicity along , contradicting the definition of the fixed part. Therefore
