Moves 1 to 10  

• Kim Myungwan (asked by JoazBanbeck): - Should be E6.

Moves 11 to 20  

• Guo Juan (asked by tapir): - Black does not have a move to play here. Losing territory. (Proposal: O4)
• Kim Myungwan: - Way too small, should be at R7.
• Guo Juan: - Too slow.
• Kim Myungwan: - D6 is better. Make use of move #9.
• Guo Juan: Proposal
• Kim Myungwan: - The top and right sides are miai. R8 looks good, as does K17. But either one allows white to play a 6-3 approach to the corner. So treat the sides as miai, and take O17 now.

Moves 31 to 40  

• Guo Juan: : Black won't have enough territory.
• Guo Juan: : Too far especially when white is at d15 high position.
• Kim Myungwan: : P12 is best, prevents white O11.
• Guo Juan: : Thank you move! (Proposal: H17 or C12)
• Kim Myungwan: : O17 is best, threatens Q18.

Moves 51 to 60  

• Kim Myungwan: : Very good.
• Kim Myungwan: : b14 is better.
• Kim Myungwan: : b15
• Guo Juan: : Overplay. (Proposal: J10)
• unkx80 (one of White team's captains): was too deep. I prefer a reduction at around K8.
• Guo Juan: : (Proposal: J10 - better shape)
• Kim Myungwan: : b14 is still bigger, b8 second best.

Moves 61 to 70  

• Guo Juan: (Proposal: M5 - I will go for the kill.)
• unkx80: feels unusually strong. I missed this move completely.
• unkx80: The and exchange is particularly loss making for white. White should have played directly at . If black played outside, then white can enter at N3. If black played at , then white can choose to play at L9 or N9, much more efficient than at .
• Guo Juan: - Very small. (Proposal: N9)
• unkx80: is unusually large, but at what price? For those who did not read it out, the real value of is that it prevents white from entering at N3. With N3, white can either connect out or live unconditionally inside.

Moves 71 to 80  

• Kim Myungwan: : Hane at 73, then extend.
• unkx80: is better played at . I was too worried about the eyespace of the white group.

Moves 81 to 90  

• Guo Juan: : Black did not attack well in the center.
• Kim Myungwan: : Correct move.

Moves 111 to 120  

• Guo Juan: : White wins.

Moves 161 to 162
