Below I will try to explain the flow of the game. Look at the starting position.

[Diagram]

Position after move 30. Black's turn.


  • Black went for the rescue of the marked stone along the second line.
  • White resisted and got a big ko. Having no ko threats White lost the ko giving Black a large territory in the bottom right.
  • The only compensation was the attack on the right top corner. * Black lived there but White developed a strong wall with a threat to get a huge moyo at the top.
  • Black invaded the top and White attacked, developing some thickness. Black lived again.
  • Using the thickness at the top White invaded the left side at a. It produced white thickness there, but Black obtained the lower left corner.
  • Using the thickness at the left and at the top White enclosed at b and got some territory at last. I call it "what remains".

Black won all the battles.
