Shusaku Game #21


During the beginning of this game, White allowed Black to place stubs between its walls, and that in the days when no komi from Black could be a losing strategy. But in the middle game, White drove the black top center group and the bottom center group both towards the center and break them before they linking up...very good example of leaning on one group and attack another. Black had to settle down the top group leaving the bottom group under attack, to make it worse for Black the left bottom corner was not that secure either. White did a good job working on these two groups together-made a seki in the bottom and created a serious Ko over right bottom corner. Lucky for Black through, White ran out of Ko threat and the demage was limited...Shusaku managed to pull off a tough game.
