- White 8: Strange black 9 causes White immediate problems.
- Black 11: Terrible he must accept the invitation to take fourth
line territory by playing A.
- Black 15 must cover the cut at A. Black 9 is in no danger.
- White 16: Unthinkable the cut at A is the only move.
- White 26: Error the sequence to 43 should spring instantly to
mind.
- White 50: What does he intend to do if Black cuts above 26?
- White 58: Covers the cut (at last).
- Black 71-83: Good timing. White must worry about Black puling out 77
later.
- Black 87: Must play 88. Then if White cuts at 87, black 92 prepares
to sacrifice two stones.
- White 96-110: White is trying to kill the group (note that Black B
fails to C).
- White 136: Bad. He must play the empty triangle at 165.
- Black 139-147: Black has a go at killing the white group before
running away with his own but 145 definitely lets white live, and
should be omitted.
- White 160: What is he trying to do? White 160' at 161 would force
165, then white D is devastating.
- Black 165: Game over. White cannot connect because of the snapback
at E.
Black won by 11 points.
