Final score: White = 55 territory + 11 captures + 5.5 komi = 71.5 Black = 46 territory + 1 captures = 47 White wins by 24.5. GoAhead 19k : This game was decided by cut & connect shapes and life & death reading. GoAhead tenukied several times in the opening, taking big points. But Manyfaces counterattacked by cutting and threatening a remaining eyeless group. The attack could have decided the game, but ManyFaces didn't take several chances to do so. GoAhead was finally able to make life by life & death reading, once the problem got small enough. ManyFaces also failed to make more trouble around the LR corner in the endgame. MF: MF fell behind in the opening by attacking the lower left instead of taking big points, but couldn't find the killing sequences later. Attacking too hard lost a lot of points in the center. ] TB[ss][rs][qs][ks][js][hs][gs][sr][rr][qr][ir][sq][rq][qq][sp][rp][qp][bp][ap][so][bo][ao][sn][bn][an][bm][am][bl][al][bk][ak][dj][cj][bj][aj][si][ci][bi][ai][ch][kf][me][le][ic][ib][ia] TW[cs][oo][pn][nn][hn][pm][om][pl][pk][ok][pj][oj][lj][jj][ni][mi][ki][ji][ii][hi][nh][be][ae][qd][ad][sc][rc][qc][oc][nc][cc][bc][ac][sb][rb][qb][pb][ob][nb][db][cb][bb][ab][sa][ra][qa][pa][oa][na][ma][ea][da][ca][ba][aa] )
