Shusaku's opponent, White, made some directional mistake from beginning of the game basically giving Black a big territory across the top in exchange for some small "thickness" around left top and right top, but Black had already stubs on the right edge and left edge. After some smart maneuvers, White's walls showed their cracks and ended up being chased out by Black's left and right center groups. In the middle of game, Shusaku "forced" White's left bottom group live in sente, quite puzzling to me, I guess Shusaku either hate empty triangle shape very very much or was a super strong believer of the "gote no sente" . White got a chance to attack Black right center group but Black successful settle that group down and when black was running his left center group he dragged White 's left top group along, and because the earlier donation over the top-White was now short of Territory, White could not declare a truce with Black with a seki...and had to start a KO in the center but because the bottom White group had barely 2 eyes-actually best result for White bottom group is also live by KO, White just cannot win both KOs.
