Shusaku Game #4

In Go, mastering how to play KO is important-you need to win important KOs or at least get some exhange in return should you lose the KO. This game featured one KO at bottom and one KO over the top, and the left center became hunting ground of KO threats for white but Shusaku managed to hold up the first KO fight and didn't give up much at the second KO fight.

It is always amazing how Shusaku prefer thickness over attacking, defence over offence. Good example is how easily he gave up the 3 stones in the center..."Good warriors make their stand on ground where they cannot lose and do not overlook anything that makes the enemy prone to defeat." as Suntzu said, Shusaku followed same principle.
