Positional Judgement Kobayashi Style / Judgement2

[Diagram]

Moves 130 to 138

Kobayashi Koichi says:

Black

  • upper right 11
  • upper side 17
  • left side 6
  • lower right 20
  • center 4-5

= 58-59

White

  • left side 15
  • lower left 7
  • right side 37
  • komi 5.5

= 64.5



Kobayashi says that even though it's Black's move, it's hard for him to find a place to make up the difference, so he thinks White leads by komi. But since he was White, he has this finger of a comment:

But during a game one is reluctant to decide that the game is won at this point. Rather, by playing aggressively, further profit may appear.

So he played W1 at 'a' instead and won by resignation. It's comforting to know that even a pro at his level doesn't trust his counting too much.
