The 10th Maxim Cup <1st match of the best of three final>





2009. 1. 28
B: Choi Chulhan 9P W: Park Younghun 9P
Black won by resignation

W 20,22 are territorial strategy.
B 23,25 are probing moves.
W 32 is kind of fighting spirit.
W 40 is questionable. W should have made a pincer attack at the left side.
Up to 47, the opening is favourable for black.
W 48,50 are good sequences for attacking.

B 63,67 are good tesujis.
B is still ahead with B83.
W 94 is a do or die move.

When W plays at W114, B seems in trouble, but B117,119 are brilliant.
With B123, black captures W’s five stones in the cantre.
It’s an amazing result for B, and the game is actually over.
After then, withe tried to find a clue to reverse the game but didn't succeed.





I have a question, couldn't white play M11 in sente before playing 114 to avoid his stones being captured like in the game.
Thank you again.
