EVENT WHITE Ronald Schlemper, 7d, NL BLACK Matthew Macfadyen, 6d, UK RESULT B+R BOARDSIZE 19 KOMI 5.5 SOURCE BGJ 66 November 1985 page 10 COM Copyright British Go Association 1985, 1999 Black Rank: 6 dan Write Rank: 7 dan ENDCOM B 1 Q16 W 2 D17 B 3 Q3 W 4 C3 B 5 F4 W 6 D6 B 7 J4 W 8 R5 B 9 Q8 W 10 P5 B 11 O4 W 12 R3 B 13 R2 W 14 S3 B 15 Q4 MARK C@P2 B@O3 A@P4 COM Black 15: A mistake - it should be at A. The problem is that white can easily live on the lower side, even after 17 and 19, by using his kikashi moves at 49 (C) and B. ENDCOM W 16 Q5 B 17 O5 W 18 P7 B 19 O6 W 20 P8 B 21 R8 COM Black 21: A bit of an overplay, but so is white 22. Normally Black would play 21' at 22, then follows white 21, and both sides tenuki (play elsewhere). The best way for White to play is to answer 21 calmly at 42, covering all his own weaknesses. Then black 22 is more or less forced, and white offsets his local loss by getting first move elsewhere. In the game sequence Black is able to play 49 in sente, thus securing the territory at the bottom.

Then Black will play 68 and live on the side, but white gets access to the centre.

But 93 must be at C. Then if white played hane at D, black can cut at E and start a fight. ENDCOM W 92 C4 B 93 D3 W 94 G5 COM 94-104: This sequence just about wraps up the game, as White's corner is now as big as Black's side.

This strategy very nearly came unstuck.

If white tries to cut at 183 (A), Black plays 162 (B) and gets in anyway. Up to 162 white loses two stones in gote, and the game becomes quite close. ENDCOM W 156 O9 B 157 O8 W 158 M9 B 159 N9 W 160 N10 B 161 P9 W 162 O10 COM Up to 162 white loses two stones in gote, and the game becomes quite close. Ronald now needed to play accurate yose, but he did so, and gained a couple of extra points due to small mistakes by me.
