The two white stones in the lower corner get isolated and Terry finds himeself having to play 36 (C) to protect them (I was planning to play A).

The severe splitting attack which follows is clearly unfavourable for White, especially with all that Black thickness waiting across the board. It would have been more prudent to play 46' at 53, treating 47 lightly.

They threaten to play one point to the right of 98, cutting off the white group. If 86' had been at 96 the game might have lasted longer.

EndCom W 112 n2 B 113 m4 W 114 n4 Com White 114' could live at 115, but Black could play 114 and cut off enough stones to win easily. After 115 White's group is dead.
