Both programs played carefully - as if they were impressed by the opponent's way of playing and fighting ability observed during the first 3 games of this match. ManyFaces profited by the "joseki" played in the LL corner, where B made some shape errors. ManyFaces also got an easy invasion at the upper side. Consequently, W took the lead by a few points in midgame. But I think the game was decided by yose considerations. ManyFaces failed to take more profit in the LL corner. GoAhead managed to win a small tactical fight around g13. GoAhead was also able to reduce ManyFaces' center mojo to a tolerable size. These small fights decided the game. Total result of the lader match: ManyFaces - GoAhead : 1-3 ] WL[2016];B[tt] C[ The game is over.
