In this game's opening, B gave up the top left corner and in return built up some influence, then used this influence to attack White 's top stone. White decide to go "under" and took the territory over top edge, while Black build substantial wall along the top edge, this wall gave Black not only potential to build a big center territory but also tilted the blance of power on the right side-White's stronger group became weaker while Black's lower right corner gained more confidence . While it might be too late, White decided to break out from Black wall put pressure on the top left Black dragon....But Shusaku was not one who fears fight, on one hand he expand center territory by dragging the center White group to run along, on the other hand he is more happy to reduce White 's potential on the left side-if White chase failed, White risking "much ado about nothing"...White did manage to get a ko after a long chase but because Black has 3 gote eyes and ko threatsm White could not claim much a sucess. Still Black decide to remove the Ko and let White reduce some of his center territory, when Black got sente, Black change direction and started to expand his Right side territory. At this point White 's only hope was to gain some from attacking Black's lower Right corner, and when that group manged to connect back to Black's right side, game over.
