Final position after move 157

Dead stones and assumed territory are marked.



According to my counting, White has 82 points/+dead black stones on the board, +6 captured stones and 5.5 Komi, adding up to _93.5 points_

Black has 98 points/+dead white stones on the board, +2 captured stones, adding up to _100 points_
