From the first round of the KGS Suk B Choi tournament, http://www.gokgs.com/help/sukbchoi.html. Between Oysy 9d (B) and Cornel 7d (W).
After Black 17, White has to choose between A,B, and C.
Playing at A is solid but might be a little too conservative because Black will be able to build a nice shape as well. B and C are more aggressive choices.
White 20 is aggressive, he could choose to play at either A,B,C, or D instead. A is probably the most solid choice here.
After 32, white successfully destroyed black’s territory, but black is also thicker. Now, it seems like how much black’s thickness worths will be the determinative factor for this game.
White 38 is likely an overplay. Because of the weakness at A, white needs to be careful here.
Black 43 is a very nice tesuji. It is aiming at separate white’s corner. White’s logical response can only be A,B, or C.
If white plays at B, Black would play at C, it will become an exchange. If white plays at C, black will play at A to successfully separate white’s group.
