All comments by Stacey.

Figure 1 (1-100) 31 at 22.

• Black 19, 21: Allegedly once played by Hashimoto Shoji 9p.
• White 34 - Black 41: Bad for White as the result is worse than joseki.

Figure 2 (101-200) 169 at 152.

• White 124' at 125 looks more interesting.
• White 134: Bad because of 135.
• Black 185' should be at 189. Black had failed to notice 188.
• White 188 deprives the black group of two eyes and gives White the game.

Figure 3 (201-289) 204 ko at white , 232 ko at , 234 fills at 227, 243 ko at black , 246 ko at 240, 249 at black , 252 at 240, 254 fills at black , 268 at , 277 at . BGJ had no 263 and two 261s.

• White 202: Better at 203.
• White 208: 211 seems big. The game is now very close but Black later lost some points in the lower left corner.

White won by 3½ points.
