A large moyo of White appeared between the upper part and the center. To deal with the situation, Black made the 33rd move that thrust from the right part to the center. Next, White made the 34th move on the lower part, which triggered a difficult battle. During the battle, White made the 68th move (hanedasi) on the right part, that became the point of the game. Black coped with it with the 68th move (sagari). After the game, Meijin Mr. Yoda referred to this move by Black, "If the opponent had played kosumi at the intersection on the line lower by one row (where the 89th move was made), then we would have been put in a difficult situation. Actually, however, we were able to capture the black stones. I felt relief." |
