I play my last move only for having the possibility to write you this: It was a pleasure to play. I enjoyed it more in the beginning, where I had more strategic success. You then correctly took sente in the lower right corner and took another strategic point in the upper left quarter. There we did some nice cut-and-sacrifice fighting. I was lucky another time to get life in the upper left corner. However, eventually it was not meant to be enough. I succeeded to narrow the gap from 25 points to now 9 points Wt10 instead of We15 was my last oversight while finishing. I plan to prepare a commentary for the GTL if you do not mind. (And ask one to criticise my moves.)] ;B[ga] C[Hi Dao Lin, Thanks again for your comments. It is very useful to me. Please send your commentary(what is GTL?) to me if it's ready.
