This perhaps is the shortest game in the book, it highlighted how Shusaku used influence and how he built up influence.
The opening of the game showed both of them was planning for a long and slow game. Things started to change when White gave Black a wall over left top corner. And after White got into the big fight over top right corner, Black first built up influence from outside and then turned in top right corner into a Ko fight-further more he took advantage of White's worry of giving Black extra Ko threats, Black broke up the White group in the lower right corner.
If White wastes two moves over right top corner to clean things up, the whole lower left and lower right could be taken over by Black....so White resigned.
