Comment[Makes an interesting symetrical position on the right side. Black was aiming at playing R10, to make the moyo very difficult to erase.]

Comment[In the resulting ko-fight, white saved the Q15 stones, but black got two successive moves around K8 area, and secured a gigantic lower right corner territory, over 1/4 of the board.]
;
Comment[However, the ko fight and the need to kill the inevitable white invasion in the lower right caused black to run out of time.]
;
Comment[Although victory was his, white said he felt himself outclassed and showed himself to be a gentleman by agreeing a draw.]
