;W[kl]C[Huang 6p is not at all afraid of Master's power.  He flashes out his sword and is ready to fight to the death!]
;B[ij]
;W[jj]
;B[kk]
;W[hj]C[Black's dragon on the left is not in danger of dying.  Rather, this is a chaotic fight over the entire region.]

;W[fp]
;B[fq]
;W[fn]C[Since the black group on the left will not die, the feeling is that the center is the most valuable at this moment.]
;B[ih]C[Indeed, Master did choose to nobi in the center.]
;W[ce]
;B[cn]
;W[de]C[Because the black dragon is weak, Huang 6p got to attach inside Black's shimari.  Black's kosumi is necessary, and so Huang successfully captures a key black stone, breaking open Black's corner enclosure.]
;B[mp]C[But Black attaches on the lower side to seek a new fight! He is aiming at White's cutting point in the center.]

;W[pn]
;B[gc]C[Master plays tenuki on the lower right corner and quickly plays the two-space extension on the top.  Such excellent whole-board strategy!]

;W[nl]C[Huang 6p seems to have slowed down his tempo--is this slack playing, or is Huang gathering energy for a decisive middle game fight?!]

;B[nk]C[But the table is turned most suddenly and radically! Master seems to be willing to sacrifice the lower right corner and, instead, now aims to kill the white dragon!]
;W[gm]
;B[qh]
;W[pi]
;B[rr]
;W[rs]
;B[so]C[White earns a temporary reprieve as regards his big dragon.  But now Huang's power of reading is facing severe test! Can Huang still kill Black's corner!?]

;B[ng]C[Huang Yunsong 6p has made up his mind to go for the kill. 

So now it is a matter of which dragon dies!]

;W[qj]
;B[mg]
;W[lh]
;B[kg]
;W[mi]
;B[mj]C[Well, it seems that Huang 6p should be able to kill Black unconditionally, because he has one more liberty!

White resigns.

BUT--WHAT??? HUANG 6P RESIGNED???

Oh, I understand now.  See the hypothetical continuation.]

;W[sq]
;B[ph]
;W[sn]C[You see, it really is true that White can kill Black's corner unconditionally.  However--]
;B[lb]C[--because Black's thickness is SO OVERWHELMING, the white group on top collapses all by itself.

So Huang 6p apparently thought that the game is over, and that is that.

This is Master's 53rd consecutive win.])
