1. R 4.2. D 15.
3. D 17.4. F 16.
5. C 15.6. C 14.
7. C 16.8. D 14.
9. C 8. F 17 is just as good. Then would follow:

B. G 17
W. F 18

10. E 18.
11. D 18.12. P 3.
13. L 3.14. P 6.
15. R 7.16. J 3.
17. L 5.18. J 5.
19. L 7.20. R 3.
21. S 3.22. Q 4. This move and 24–R 2 are necessary because of the white stones on line L.[[174]]
23. R 5.24. R 2.
25. O 17.26. C 6.
27. D 11.28. F 12. This move is very good, otherwise White plays at E 16 and breaks into the Blackposition.
29. F 9.30. Q 14.
31. K 16.32. R 9.
33. S 2. If Black plays at R 9, this move is necessary for the security of the white group.34. P 9.
35. C 12.36. E 17.
37. D 16.38. F 14.
39. G 15.40. F 15.
41. H 17.42. J 7.
43. O 4.44. Q 5.
45. R 8.46. M 6.
47. L 6.48. Q 9.
49. F 3.50. E 3.
51. G 2. This is a fine move. By means of it Black is compelled to play at K 2 and Whitecan occupy F 5 on his 53d move and thus escape, whereas without G 2 White could onlyhave played at F 4, whereupon Black could have cut off the retreat at F 6.52. K 2.
