Now to introduce our commentator.
Ishikura Noboru 9 dan.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for having me.
What will be the highlight of today's match?
This is Kanazawa Makoto's first game in this tournament. He plays very interesting Go.
Akiyama is without a doubt a strong player.
I'm interested to see how far Kanazawa can go against Akiyama's thick style of play.
Looking forward to the match.
Now on to the game.
He played the mokuhazushi here.
Kanazawa doesn't copy other people's style. He plays his own Go.
I expected him to play something ...unique, but this is normal.
It's like you played here and then enclosed.
Now the top side is where Black wants to develop.
White played this.
Here or here.
This leaves enough space for the two space extension.
A corner enclosure here as well.
So extending here would be normal.
He played this.
This is the style nowadays.
An extension here is the traditional way to play.
Nothing wrong with this move.
This move makes it harder for Black to do anything against the corner.
Like this, Black's approach is perfect.
This way the approach is awkward.
Black has some difficult choices.
He came in.
An assertive move.
So this is assertive?
The area over here is wider.
Normally you approach from the side where there is more space.
We're going to extend here and then start attacking this White stone.
That's why this move is aggressive.
This is the first game they've played against each other.
They both play for thickness. That's their style.
Akiyama uses thickness to press the attack.
Kanazawa plays a balanced game, and is great at knowing who is ahead and behind.
So even though they both have similar styles, there are still some differences?
Yes.
I think they're not quite the same.
I'm looking forward to see how Akiyama will attack.
They've divvied up the top between themselves.
They both have two space extensions.
Interesting development.
We did talk about this earlier, but Kanazawa seems to have a unique opening. He plays his own moves.
He comes up with new shapes no one else has played before.
I'm wondering if we'll see that today.
I think in many ways he is like Fujisawa Shuko, well, in the final part of his life.
The basis of his Go is thickness.
Black is now thinking about if he can attack at the top or expand elsewhere.
At the bottom?
Right, there are only so many open spaces left. At the bottom, the left, the right...
He's deciding whether to leave the top alone or do something against White.
There it is.
Another aggressive move.
This is one of the local vital spots.
So what does White play so that his two space extension isn't cut in half?
Connect, or try to start something elsewhere.
He's thinking of different variations.
He attached.
This is an interesting move.
If Black does nothing against the White group at the top, White will play here and start attacking these Black stones.
Now Black must come out and White naturally makes territory along this side.
This board position would be right up Akiyama's alley.
He avoids that with this move.
Now White is rather small at the top and weak.
It's not going to die, but it will get attacked.
So before any of that, we attach.
If Black plays here.
It's the most natural move. Now atari.
He won't play this, he'll play something like this.
Black can't seal White in like in the example I showed you before.
Now it looks like we've played forcing moves against Black and we can move into the center.
Black is thinking about how to respond to White's attachment.
Playing like this is just what White wants.
This move resists White's plan.
This move is calm.
He could come up, but most likely will play this. And now we've played forcing moves against Black.
It feels like we've reduced the corner.
Like this Black is building a territorial framework.
Or will he just peacefully connect?
He picked the peaceful option.
Would White try to save the stone he attached with?
Those stones are for forcing moves.
Black defended.
You can sacrifice stones used for forcing moves.
White has some breathing room now and you've reduced Black.
Now White has more space at the top to live.
This was the move he had planned.
So does this attachment do other things besides just keep White in?
It helps out the Black stones on the left as well as attack White.
In sente.
He didn't wedge.
This move is an option.
He's being careful.
If you wedge, you've got a lot of space thanks to this attachment.
If you play like this, this is enough space.
White may get sealed in along this line.
You might worry about getting sealed it.
Akiyama is trying to make sure he has eyespace while getting out into the center.
Connecting is a common move.
He would play here rather than connect.
White continues to make territory.
Connecting is a thick move.
White can jump. This is a peaceful result.
This move is normal for Black.
Is he thinking about extending?
This move aims to push through at the point above it.
It's proceeding just like you said.
Once White expands, there is enough space to live at the top.
White lives and gets good territory.
Akiyama was the challenger for the Tengen title match in 2014.
It was his first appearance in a title match.
Akiyama plays solidly and waits for his chance to strike.
His fighting power is incredible.
It's a powerful weapon for him.
He's only gotten stronger since turning 30.
Just like the Japanese adage: "Great talent matures late."
He studied with Yamashita Keigo at Yokusei Go school.
This would be the natural move.
White would then be able to get out.
White protects his territory and gets out into the center.
If we can, we'd like to play this move.
White will come out, and then Black might play like this.
There are now two cutting points.
Atari here would leave the double atari here open.
Black can play this.
White gets captured like this
We would like to hane.
Black might push before the hane.
We can't play here.
White connects and then Black plays here.
This territory vs. this influence.
This might be the way it turns out.
He played this in the game.
Now this is interesting.
I think most players would think of this move.
There are already stones around here, so he's making it thicker. However..
Like this White can't come out.
White extended.
He'll probably be able to stop him from getting out.
The game was quite peaceful, but now they're just waiting for their chance to strike.
I think Kanazawa is really into it.
He looks like he's ready to fight.
This is turning out like I explained before.
But who knows, the game may turn out differently.
Kanazawa was promoted from 4 dan to 7 dan by qualifying to enter into the Meijin league.
Now he's made into into the NHK cup.
So if you enter into the Honinbo, Meijin, or Kisei leagues, you're automatically promoted to 7 dan.
White is protecting the cut.
He couldn't come out so he defended.
This will be a game of Black's thickness vs. White's territory.
How will White come in to Black's territorial framework?
Interesting.
He's still aiming for the cut.
There are two cutting points. If you can use them, you can squeeze White's liberties.
If you cut then you'll probably be able to capture White.
White will protect, and then think about what to do on the right side.
This last move is hard to see.
For normal players that may not be a move that would turn out well.
That's right. You are taking away your own liberties.
Regular players may feel uneasy and worry about it.
Black is captured right?
The cut does mean something.
Because of this cut, these White stones are low on liberties and White cannot come out.
Let's say Black doesn't play here and does something else over here. Now White comes out.
You can't keep White from coming out.
Now like this you can keep White in.
There is a cutting point though.
He defended here.
Now he plays here. But let's say he didn't make this exchange over here first.
Now White's in atari.
Capture, and then something like this.
Black can connect.
This was his strategy when he initially played these moves.
He didn't add another move, he played over here.
Is it okay to just play elsewhere?
He gets atarid no matter which way he comes out.
Therefore, he played here.
The knight's move.
Well Black does have a large framework on the right side. I was thinking how he would expand it.
This move is easy to follow.
Now, how will White come in to the framework?
He attached in the lower right.
Like a pro.
It's a probe.
He's used a lot of his byo-yomi periods.
Normally you play here when White attaches.
You play out this sequence and then this area right here...it was Black's but now it isn't.
These moves are predictable.
White might come in here somewhere, which makes this area here into territory.
If Black can, he'd like to play here.
To try and take it all.
So this would all be his?
It's unclear whether or not this stone is captured.
If White tries to live with it then Black will turn the outside into territory.
Black has choices.
He's considering which of the two he wants.
What if White plays this and makes it a contest of frameworks?
Well I hope you can win this way.
This area over here is definitely not territory yet.
If White can't get out through here then this is mostly pure territory.
I don't think White can win that way.
Ahh he played it. Cool.
He's considering the whole board.
If White plays in this area he probably won't be captured.
If you're going to turn this framework into territory, you're going to have to seal up the open spot.
If you play on the border line here, then there's no fear that Black will encircle this area.
But what if Black plays here?
You can help this stone out, but then this stone gets encircled. Losing it would be big.
Protecting at the bottom means you'll be attacked. That's pretty dangerous.
It might be hard to come in.
This move expands this side.
This would be a matter of judging the balance of territory.
Now White might have a chance to reduce some of Black's territory here.
I haven't done the calculation, but I feel it is up in the air.
He played the knight's move.
I thought Black would play this.
He just captured two stones.
Now let's see how Black defends.
White would eventually want to find a way to reduce Black's framework.
If you want to reduce your opponent, you need to find their weaknesses.
He can adjust based on how Black defends.
Ishikura, you were at an event with Kanazawa?
That's right.
A Go festival.
Kanazawa is from Hiratsuka in Kanagawa prefecture.
There was a Go festival in Hiratsuka.
That was quite some time ago.
I played him.
He was the student Meijin two years ago.
He was in sixth grade.
Elementary school Meijin.
He got strong quickly.
That may be because Fujisawa Shuko, his teacher, was so demanding of him.
He kept getting stronger and stronger.
There were a lot of people watching at the Go festival in Hiratsuka.
He probably felt the weight of his responsibility with every move. People were expecting a lot from him.
For this move, I was wondering if he might try playing from the left?
If he does nothing White breaks through.
He thinks that White will have a harder time breaking through and into the right.
You did say that you have to aim for your opponent's weaknesses.
So White might aim to push through with a one space jump or something?
We're quickly getting to the main part of the match.
If you play like this you have a hole here.
Does this stop him or does this stop him?
If you play nothing, White will play here.
You push through and now there is a double atari here.
Black has lost the game if this happens.
So we do need to protect, with this move or that move.
White might not play this straight away, but he could aim to cut like this.
Then he might live here, and that would be bad.
Like this, this move is difficult.
However now, just like you said before, White can play this.
White might wait to play this out, but now you extend.
Now White can cut here and that is definitely a weakness.
White might play in here and then aim for it.
That might be one way to play.
He came in the center.
There are all sorts of forcing moves in this area.
This move is aiming to make use of them.
What wonderful play, taking here, defending, then playing here.
Taking those stones and then aiming for the weak point.
He'll be aiming for this area.
Black is attacking.
If Black doesn't get a good portion of the right side he'll be behind.
Black might have tried playing on the Tengen and fighting within a small space.
He played there.
The beginning was peaceful.
The fight seems to have begun.
This is the make or break part of the game.
One of the important things to remember when playing against a moyo strategy is to play on the borderline of the moyo.
The other important thing to remember is to aim for your opponent's weak points.
If you can't accomplish that the game won't go well for you.
Akiyama is aiming for Black's weak points.
I'm sure all players have trouble figuring out how to come into a big moyo.
Well it'd be best if you made two eyes in the center. However, making two eyes in the center is very difficult.
You can make eyes by aiming at your opponent's weaknesses. This happens a lot.
The shape here would be to extend.
The cut here makes me worry about the corner.
This is simpler. 1,2,3 liberties.
Here there is 1,2,3, 4.
He loses the capturing race.
Losing these Black stones would be big.
Naturally you play here to defend against that.
There are a lot of moves to worry about that revolve around the cut.
Atari and connect.
Will this be okay?
This part you really have to read out. You play here, not here most likely.
White comes out and then Black protects the corner.
White doesn't feel so great with this Black stone in the way.
I don't think this cut results in much.
He atarid.
I'm sure he's read out the sequence over here.
Well normally the extension is what you think of.
I'm sure he's done the reading.
White gets to move out once.
Next he aims at the cut.
If the cut turns out to be okay then all will be fine.
I think Kanazawa used his time to read out what happens when White cuts. I think he thinks it works fine for Black.
There's plenty to read out.
Although we didn't expect these moves.
Let's play it out.
Black should be okay.
Play from this side.
This is 3 liberties vs 3 liberties but...
Descend.
Since this is a capturing race, how about attaching?
White can't play here he has to come back.
Then Black gets to play here.
This is why Black is okay.
He probably read this out.
So cutting here won't work.
He's thinking.
Let's take about the atari then the connection.
This way White has a lot of different ways to make use of this cut.
Now the weakness is gone.
If this part is basically fine...
Finding a weakness has become tricky.
What if White cuts and comes under?
This one may work.
This is difficult.
What happens with this?
Black might be in danger.
He's thinking about the different variations in this area.
He must think it doesn't work.
Well there are no tricks with this move.
He wants to reduce the center, plain and simple.
He's threatening the double atari.
Now is the time for White to play this.
The knight's move.
The keima is a flimsier shape. There is the cut.
There are those three White stones to help.
It helps with the ladder.
Well, let's talk about this move.
White chose not to play anything over here. It would have been alright had it been successful, but it was very complicated.
If nothing happens over here, then Black can play something like this.
If these stones weren't here then Black could cut.
Now there is a ladder and these stones are doing their job.
This stone is the focus.
You have to keep in mind which stone is important when coming into a moyo.
These stones are not so important.
These stones are, so play here.
Throw these stones away and come in to this area.
If he captures just keep going.
He would have succeeded in erasing Black's territory.
It's always good to have a sense of which stones are actually important.
When coming into your opponents moyo, you need to attack their weaknesses, but also...
You may need to let stones go. Knowing when to do that is important.
He captured those stones.
Solid move.
Now most of Black's moyo has been broken up.
Black has those two knight's moves. We need to think about the strength of our shape.
Those could turn into weaknesses.
Right, a counterattack.
White did well in making sabaki here.
White might look to be in danger, but this stone is doing its job.
If White ataris then Black pushes through.
If you extend then this stone is in the perfect spot.
It's a net.
Black can't escape.
Now that White is strong, White can aim at this.
These two stones get cut off and this side is under White's control.
Black might, for example, play something like this.
If he doesn't protect then we have to worry about something happening.
As we come out we can think of how we can counterattack.
White has made sabaki.
Well he played a bit away from where you said.
I worry what might happen with the shape.
To be honest White's territory is good.
Now Black wants to erase White's possible territory on the left side.
This move is brave.
This move is more solid.
This move isn't effective at defense.
White cuts.
White can run away.
Those two stones die and then there is this cut.
Black might attack by playing something in here.
White wants to play something in here.
Can White cut Black?
If he does get cut can he fight back?
That's what they're reading out now.
This move is thick. If attacking doesn't work out, just protect.
They're considering whether to fight, or to protect.
He attached.
Thick.
White chose defense.
If White cuts then he may get counterattacked and things will become complicated.
If this is enough, then White has an easy game ahead of him.
His last period is gone.
It feels White made sabaki quite well here.
Black just has this territory here.
How much does he have? We don't know what will happen here.
Feels like about 50.
10 points here.
Seems like 30 points here.
About 50 points.
If he can expand it, then he'll have 60, but more like 50.
White's territory is also getting bigger.
Black has some work to do since this is the only area he has territory.
He'll want to strengthen himself and then find a way to attack White's stones.
Black doesn't want White to make all of this into territory.
He chose a complicated move.
Kanazawa is good in these types of situations.
He finds moves no one else does.
So he has a rare style.
Sometimes he comes up with new shapes, sometimes he plays like in the olden days.
A lot of the younger players look at the older games recently.
Lately there have been a lot of players who like to play popular openings.
Kanazawa plays his own style and doesn't go with the crowd.
So Black will have to sabaki.
Black will make sabaki.
This move starts a fight. We don't know how it will all proceed.
Black could reduce White or attack the White stones in the middle.
Black will choose based on his opponent's response.
Is the game good for White.
White looks to be good overall.
Although we can't say yet that White is leading 100%.
Who knows what will happen next?
White extended in the lower left. If he had atarid then Black would get forcing moves.
The extension gets rid of those forcing moves. He also doesn't want to help Black on the left.
Can Black find some great sequence to play on the left?
Ataring this way must mean that Black isn't going to emphasize the corner.
He's sacrificing that stone. In any case, Black is trying to make territory on the left. If he can, he won't lose.
In order to do that, he atarid this way.
All according to Black's plan.
Now White has territory.
They've both played peacefully here so far.
This could have turned into a much fiercer fight.
It feels like White has made a compromise.
We talked about this before.
Black's #1 target is those White stones in the middle.
Black wants to use this attack to become solid on the left side.
The focus will be who will gain the initiative on the left side.
The game is turning towards Black's favor.
Let's talk about this crosscut over here.
The normal move is here, but what about this one?
If White plays like this then Black can't do much on this side.
Black cuts here and this stone is a throwaway stone.
Black won't connect.
If Black cuts White's connection along this line then these White stones are in trouble.
Even if they live then this area is solidly Black's territory.
This move doesn't work as far as connecting.
And now Black is making territory.
Ahh, he played there.
He has to connect somehow.
White might now take the chance to counterattack Black.
He's in byo-yomi so he has little time.
He used up most of his thinking time earlier.
He's played a lot of severe moves now that he has no more periods left.
There are plenty of games where Kanazawa plays peacefully.
He is the type to start fighting in the second half of the game.
If this becomes Black's territory, it'd be rather big.
Maybe think about something here. Since they played this, maybe an invasion over here?
Hard to find a move.
Without this exchange this move isn't impossible.
Coming from the outside won't reduce it that much.
You could attach, descend...
You could reduce like this.
This is too big to be reduced that much.
You can't invade here either.
Black can make about 50 points.
White isn't exactly connected here with two knight's moves.
There is some space there to work with.
Another knight's move.
This part here is a little thin. You want to play a move like this.
This might be small now.
So he plays this and limits Black over here.
So he should protect?
You also could try to come in here, like this move.
If you continue you might be able to surround these stones.
He protected the left side.
So White is settled at the bottom?
He can play in the lower right and divvy up the territory there.
If he can solidify the bottom he can get 30-40 points.
But before that, he'll play something in the center.
Akiyama has been using his time too it seems.
Well Black seems to have regained his strength.
Can White do something to these Black stones?
Play something over here....or something like this.
If Black plays this White just keeps going.
After erasing then you want to solidify this area.
This is big too.
The 3-3 point looks good.
What do you do?
How about descending?
Now the territory is gone.
This is a really big area.
That is a big point for White too.
This move is solid.
He could play here, here, or here.
Ahh, there.
If he can, he wants to keep sente.
What happens in the upper left now that he's played the kosumi?
It should be okay for the moment.
Black will probably descend.
This move aims to cut White's knight's move.
Powerful move.
Well, I saw a strained expression on his face.
White won't go down without a fight.
So here White hanes, Black blocks, White connects. With that sequence the upper left is White's territory.
With that, White has around 60 points of territory.
So with komi White has about 70 points or so.
Yes.
The right side of the board is 50.
It all depends on how much it grows bigger.
On the left, even after he sews it all up, it's maybe 10 points.
There are still moves there.
This means the right side needs to be no less than 60 points.
That's really big too!
You can attach or this move here.
This reduces Black's territory.
If White hanes then there is a chance Black could do this.
The corner lives but White's territory here is smaller.
He decided on this move, and in the game, Black descended.
He needs one more move here and this area is big.
I think this is how it will play out.
If you hane there is the fear he'll extend.
There's the extension.
White will get his territory, and then Black will then turn his attention to the knight's moves in the center.
It's a little thin.
Well, that is Akiyama for you. He is rarely fazed.
He has no choice. If White comes in then you have all sorts of cutting points.
So now the bottom is mostly White's.
Around 35 points.
Now that the bottom is more solid, he can take aim at the Black stones in the middle.
That's why playing in the lower right was so big.
He did that to buy time.
Let's talk about what he might be thinking about.
There are some sequences you can think about, but first and foremost is who has how many points.
Maybe he could win if he plays this.
This helps to make these stones safe.
If White plays this, he attaches, and then all this is territory.
Then we can calculate points as if White had played here.
He attacked.
Maybe because they both have a lot of territory, counting may be hard.
White's group in the middle is still weak.
And Black is also thin.
So he doesn't want to just play to seal up territory.
He wants to play out the endgame hitting his opponent's weak spots.
In fights like this you can't just think about making two eyes. You'll lose.
It works better to aim at your opponent's weaknesses.
But there are times when you may not have the courage to play like that.
You might fear that your own stones make get cut and that you might suffer.
They both are playing with confidence.
Who will come out on top?
Who knows?
These White stones are surrounded.
Black is strong around this area too.
If you're going to find a weakness, it's around here.
This sort of move makes you worry though.
This move here is the vital point.
It aims at the cut here.
Like this he has two cutting points to aim at.
I think it will play out like this.
Cut here.
He'll try to do something here. But looking at things now with these stones.
White is definitely worried Black will swallow up everything on the right.
This truly is the vital point.
White counterattacks.
He is trying to strengthen his shape by attacking.
Now reading this all out is the question.
It's hard to read things when your stones are in danger.
It can be.
There it is.
Now we begin to worry about Black's three stones in the middle.
He's probably read it all out.
He must have read that those 3 stones can't be captured.
Will he be okay?
I'm really worried about these stones.
Well you could play this rather than this.
I think that would be safe.
This stone is captured.
Black is fine.
I wonder if this is what will be played.
This looks like the vital point.
Can Black reach all the way over here?
You can capture one stone.
He'll come from the outsid.
Now he's surrounded.
This looks tough for Black.
This is a problem.
I was wondering what White would do, but it seems he played here.
Black can get out this way.
This move is severe.
It'd be bad for Black if these three stones got captured.
These 3 stones are key.
You could play this or this.
Ahh there it is.
He was almost out of time.
Black wants to connect to the left side, but it might be too far.
He hit him on the head.
This is getting interesting.
Will he perform a miracle?
White needs to be careful.
That move looks good.
This looks to be the best.
These sequence means White is the one who gets captured.
3 liberties to 2.
He's aiming to counterattack.
This is a calm move.
White is connected.
If he plays this it looks like he can come this way.
He has to come up with a good move.
Black has it rough I think.
Now Akiyama is out of periods.
You play here.
Does Black have an incredible move here?
The cut doesn't work. White plays like this.
As I said earlier, this doesn't work.
He's trying to create a shortage of liberties here.
Maybe like this.
I don't think this works.
In the end, even if he plays this...
it's still too far.
Does it connect?
The middle is captured.
It looks like he exchanged that for the bottom.
Now the bottom will be reduced.
Those three stones were important. I think Kanazawa miscalculated.
Capturing those stones is big.
Now they'll fight.
If he can break into the bottom, the balance of territory is such that he can still fight.
Does White have anything to worry about in the lower left?
He chose the most severe move.
What would happen if the three bottom Black stones were captured?
Black's hane aims at a double atari.
With that, there is some possibility Black can make eyes.
White doesn't like being squeezed for liberties.
Even though that's the shape.
Can Black make eyes at the bottom?
That's the question.
The question now becomes, after all those moves, can Black live down here with moves like this or this.
At least, that's what he's aiming for.
Getting squeezed for liberties feels awful.
The White stones in the corner are losing their liberties.
There it is.
What happens when Black runs out with that one stone?
Yes.
Now White has been cut in two.
He's in trouble.
Let me explain this part.
The move he just played is good.
Now they'er all dead.
Black gains quite a bit if White plays over here.
He might run away here.
I wonder if he can play moves to connect under.
He played there.
So now those three White stones in the corner are dead.
It feels like they got captured quickly.
White's taken a lot of Black's stones.
I said earlier that the bottom was worth about 35 points, now it's worth over 40.
White should have enough territory now.
But Black took the corner.
White couldn't fight back.
Taking that one stone saved his whole group.
Maybe he didn't need to go so far.
White did feel bad about being pressed.
Black also gained a lot of territory.
They both have to make all of their moves in less than 30 seconds.
Now Black has more than 20 points on the left side.
He's gained a bit.
The right could be anywhere from 50 to 70 points.
The bottom is around 45 points.
If White connects then the upper left is 20 points.
White has then 75.
So White has counted points.
So he may have allowed the exchange of territories.
He may have.
Black will have to add another move after White connects.
White then gets sente.
White will be in the lead if he uses his sente to reduce Black on the left side.
You need to count territory between fights.
He needs to play here.
If White plays elsewhere...
I thought he'd play here but...
He'll play this, and now it's a ko.
It's a ko.
If you connect you get captured.
If Black wins then he's made a comeback.
This is another good move.
You can't play this, everything dies.
If he does nothing, then White can do this.
He'll come in here.
Next he'll reduce this territory over here.
I think White is ahead.
He got this move first. Now Black's right side is worth 50 points.
Black on the left side has 20 points.
In all: 75 points.
White's bottom looks like 40 points.
With the ten points at the top, 50 points.
If he connects where Black haned on the left, then he has 20 points there.
Then that means he has 75 points.
That's not counting komi.
Big point!
He went for it right away.
Now he can continue to fight. White can pincer that stone on the side.
That would really annihilate Black's territory on the left.
That's big too.
Black is walking step by step into White's area.
Well White's bottom could've been around 50 points.
Black's left side could be 20.
If Black has 70 points on the right side that'd be great, but...
I don't think it'll work out that way.
He's coming in with the kosumi.
Is there any chance to turn the tables?
He might come up short if he plays too peacefully.
From the top.
White seems to be defending.
He's taking away Black's liberties.
Let's talk about what he's aiming for.
This sequence looks dangerous.
Looks dangerous right?
White can play here.
White captures.
White should be fine.
Black come into the bottom very far.
White should be ahead if he can reduce the right and stop incursions on the bottom.
Black came in to reduce first.
They can't just surround territory, they have to compete to reduce.
Risky.
Are you referring to the stones he lost at the bottom?
I mean they really look captured.
He's done a good job reducing the territory.
Now Black is considering whether to protect the right side or save his stones.
Which one is bigger? It feels like they're both worth 20 points.
It could be worth that much on the right?
If White gets in there he may reduce it by more.
This is big.
Black is recovering.
I thought when he jumped at the bottom it was sente.
I said earlier that White had around 50 points.
Now it's not.
Even if White played another move down there.
Black was successful in reducing.
Now it's Black's turn, right?
The game can sure change in the blink of an eye.
His last move erased 5 points.
Black gets to do that.
He's going all out.
Black would lose a lot if White had played around there.
With this move Black maybe has 60 points on the right.
Black is close to having 80 points.
Black is fighting hard.
He wants sente to keep playing big points.
He went there.
We'll see if this works.
Letting him connect out would be bad for White.
If White takes the upper left then White has around 80 points.
Black has around 80. That is without counting White's komi.
If Black keeps it up he can make a comeback.
White won't let him off the hook.
He has to play this or Black feels like he can make a comeback.
I don't think this move works. There's not enough space to live.
Even though Black can't live in here...
He wants to force White to capture the inside stones.
That would decrease White's points by a lot. That's what he's aiming for
You'd feel, though, that you're just adding in more stones to be captured when you play on the inside.
Semedori relies on playing lots of stones inside your opponent's space.
You do it to reduce their points.
He needs to use up as much space as he can to force White to play as many moves as possible.
High level technique.
If Black plays normally he's behind. He needs to find ways to win.
How about this move?
You see this move nowadays.
It's a life and death problem.
Well the vital point is below the stone, like a kosumi on the 2-2 point.
That won't work.
There it is, 1-2.
If we push in...
He plays here.
Black's stone is on just the right spot. White can't atari.
Cut there and then White is captured.
That's why this is the vital point.
In the future Black has forcing moves like this.
This forces a capturing race between the White and Black group.
This is awesome. This will force White to fill in his own territory as he captures stones.
The game is up to the hane.
Akiyama must be fired up.
Now Black doesn't get to play there.
He might play on the 2,2 point.
I didn't see that move. This is complicated.
Like this Black's eyespace is only 3 points and he's dead.
If White connects then Black automatically dies.
White connects, then this.
This is his aim.
He connected.
Hopefully Black can live.
That would change the game.
Now he can't stop White from connecting.
This is a life and death problem.
Are the two White stones in the corner captured?
This move is good.
It turns something that looks like an eye into a false eye.
Black is dead.
Black needs to cover White from the outside.
If not then his invasion is just a loss.
Black wants the semedori.
Now if White turns that eye on the left into a false eye, Black dies.
Now will Black be able to seal in White.
Black dies, and now Black aims to surround White.
The meaning of this move is that Black is aiming to play this.
Now this is a ko.
He'd be successful if he got a ko.
Now there is no ko.
Now this is atari.
Now this is a double ko.
Well, maybe.
Does this move work?
He can play this.
This doesn't work.
White has put himself in danger.
White's low on liberties.
He can play there. It works.
Now he's making an eye.
A ko? White had about 20 points there, and now it's a ko.
Does Black have ko threats?
He doesn't have many.
This might get complicated.
Any move White can use to reduce Black on the right is a ko threat.
This is no normal ko...
White gets to capture if he wins the ko.
So let's talk about what they're doing now.
If he plays here then there is a ko here.
Black doesn't really have any threats, but moves like these could be threats for White.
Let's say Black does find a threat, White plays here, Black connects and lives....
White gets this.
It'd be great if we could capture these stones.
Making an eye and connecting out are miai.
So that won't work.
He might have threats at the bottom.
White seems to have more threats.
He can protect against threats and still not lose the ko.
Black may have no choice but to ignore White's threat and live.
He protected.
White is ahead in threats.
White should profit if the threat is worth 15 points.
Black is in a painful position.
White is in a better position because he's not worried about his stones dying.
Right. If Black connects the shape is seki.
White's group on the left won't die.
Kanazawa is pulling out all the stops.
He went into an area with lots of White stones around and turned it into a ko.
Playing on the 2-1 point was great.
This move has a lot of energy.
There's the followup at the bottom and now this move.
This is a big move.
White won't lose the ko in the upper left.
White can get out or make a second eye.
You have to worry about this move after you lose the ko.
Looks like it's fine.
The ko is over.
Now Black is connected at the bottom.
If he cuts the White stone.
Now there's a move to take Black's three stones at the top.
That might be enough.
I thought White could have tried harder, maybe connecting at the bottom.
He had more threats.
Those were good moves.
They were sente.
He can reduce Black on the right and then take those three stones.
If White gets a chance to play there he should be in the lead.
I'm sure the players have counted.
Well the upper left is now White's territory but Black connected at the bottom, so?
I think if you compare the two then overall White gained 5 points.
Taking the 3 stones would gain him 10 points.
But there are other big moves to play.
Playing sente moves are really beneficial.
Taking them is no loss for him.
White was ahead beforehand.
Now those 3 stones are dead.
Now Black has around 75 points.
White has 70.
White has better prospects for territory.
He has more than it appears.
Once you include komi, then Black is behind.
Good use of the aji there.
Will he atari from above?
This move is pretty big.
It's just a matter of how to respond.
This kind of move is aiming to secure the win.
It's bigger than 6 points.
Black's stones at the bottom have some problems. He can get atarid a lot.
This expands White's territory in the middle.
This endgame move makes good use of the aji.
Both of them are close to having 80 points.
It all depends though.
When one expands, the other expands with him.
This move feels good.
This increases the territory at the bottom by about 2-3 points.
This is a big development.
They're playing moves to give themselves more time and at the same time counting points.
The atari, from either left or right, is sente.
The atari is sente.
This part is settled.
If White takes then Black dies in a shortage of liberties.
The entire bottom would die.
All the liberties would be gone.
White will come back later to capture the stone.
Before that, he wants to play a forcing move.
He connected.
Severe move.
We've counted territory including komi.
If Black can somehow make territory in the center, it'd be a big comeback.
He is starting with the cut. Those 3 stones are dead anyway.
Now he can save those three stones.
Amazing move.
If you play like this then these stones are captured.
White has to play inside because these stones could run low on liberties.
If Black can make 5 points in here...
Then it's anybody's game.
He hasn't played this yet.
If he plays here then he connects.
There it is.
Saving these is worth 10 points.
If White plays this then he gains some points here.
Black gets nothing.
This is easy to understand.
Who knows what will happen
Connecting looks big, but...
This area is pretty big.
It's proceeded as you just said.
Are those Black stones dead?
White might give up one stone.
This is a bit uncomfortable for White.
This reduces White's center territory.
Wow, this has really been reduced.
Looking at Akiyama's face though...
He looks like this all went according to plan.
It feels as if White is just letting Black do what he wants.
White wants to continue to reduce.
This is big.
He's really into it.
This is big.
White has profited quite a bit since the ko.
White still has some weak points
He can be reduced.
White compromised in the center.
He'll need another move here.
Black is catching up bit by bit.
White probably felt he was ahead, and being beaten back bit by bit must feel bad.
Black needs to play in the center or else he'll take some damage there.
He needs to play there or White will break through.
White looks to be in the lead.
I was really worried, but Akiyama counted and knew the score.
This is sente, and now to take a stone on the left.
It'd be worth more than four points.
It would be the biggest move on the board.
The last big move.
He should play here.
This is sente for White.
White gains 4 points, and the territory right above gets a little bigger.
It's worth around 5 points.
This is right in the middle. Must feel bad.
White might be afraid of the lack of liberties, but he's fine.
He's done a good job of making sure nothing bad happens.
Akiyama has made mistakes and lost games with misreads.
This is also sente.
It reduces White's territory a little bit.
Connecting is good.
If you're aiming to continue to reduce Black on the left, this move is correct.
Now we're just fighting over 1-2 points.
You should defend against your opponent's sente moves.
You're right.
Very interesting endgame.
This move is worth two points.
It increases White's territory by one point and turns Black's eye into a false eye.
It'd be interesting if those dead Black stones were to come back to life.
White made territory in a spot we hadn't predicted.
Only things left are moves up top and the half point ko at the bottom.
It's not really a half point ko.
I didn't see that.
After Black takes and connects, he could play on the dame point and atari.
It reduces White by one point.
It all depends on the number of ko threats.
I wonder if White has more threats.
White has two in the lower left.
There are some threats on the right side as well.
Black has two in the center.
He has maybe 4 total.
White doesn't have enough threats.
Black connects and the game is finished.
What a fight!
Not that many dame points.
Which means they fought a lot.
They've filled in the dame.
After 279 moves, Akiyama Jiro wins by 2.5 points.
Akiyama Jiro wins by 2.5 points.
What was the most important part of today's match?
There was a lot going on.
These Black stones in the middle were important, and yet White took them. That helped White out a lot.
Black really worked hard from then on though to comeback.
Akiyama counted points and made decisions based on that.
He kept a small lead.
I think this was a wonderful match.
Great match.
