Moves 22 to 31

Black is Sakata Eio, White is Shinohara Masami.

Moves 32 to 38

White chose to play at the top with W1. This appears to be a mistake. It's not clear if White was already on the path of a sacrifice, but in any case he can't hold on to the top and the corner after having reduced the side. Black can kill.

Actually, LZ wants to continue at a. If it needs to choose between top and corner, it prefers strengthening the corner at W1 or b.
