Shusaku Game #22

In this game Shusaku played his later-on-arch-rival, Shusaku's pace seemed to be slow at the beginning but when White decided to take territory down the lower Right corner, Black got the opportunity to build influence/moyo on the right side. Shusaku also didn't hesitate starting a ko and kept that ko going through the middle game-in the end White escalated the ko and got the lower Right side in exchange Black broke in top Left. When White settle down along the top, Black expanded its top right and center territory to the maximum.
During end game White dragged out the group surrounded in the left top corner along the edge, but Shusake(black) had whole situation under control and didn't give White chance to over-turn the result.
