Premature Ending?

This is where the game between Takemiya Masaki (Black) and Lee Changho (White) played on 1999-05-28 in Tianjin ended with White winning by 7.5

Question... with the possible exception of the BS stone? Does this force a move inside?



I think that the game was ended prematurely. If Black had played at BS, White would have to play in his own territory, reducing his score by one point. If he doesn't...

Black lives in seki?

This results. Black has taken some of White's territory. This is enough to turn the tide of the game to a black win.

Niklaus: Black lives in seki? I guess you missed that the BS are dead...



Hikaru79 Thanks for pointing that out.

Charles Let's leave this: it has value to some as an example of a very temporary seki, that one would have to visualise a few plays ahead.
