Part 2 of Fhayashi-koing-2003-09-24.
Fhayashi: My (white) errors have made a gift of the circled stones. However, since black didn't cleanly capture them, I was able to make some endgame plays later on to save one of the stones and take away some black territory.
Fhayashi: , forming a bamboo joint effectively splits the upper left and upper right black group. I did this because I wanted to make sure I prevented black from making much territory here. It turned out that it did far more than that.
Fhayashi: and can't do anything here because of damezumari. Further hopeless thrashing about by black here ends up costing black the circled black stones, and with it the game.
Fhayashi: After , black needed to prevent the cut at in order to save the top left black group. After , the game is effectively over. Unexpectedly, I was able to cut off a major part of black's group on the top. After , a and b are miai to cut.
