Post subject:  Looking for game records with large influence

I want to study several games where a player has a lot of influence. I want to do this to study what strong players end up doing with said thickness/influence. I tried looking for games randomly but that's a bit tough to do.

So I'm hoping some of you might help me. I'm looking for games played by professionals or high/mid-dan players. Where a position arises that one player has a nice wall/sphere/area of influence and looking to see how both players handle it. How does the opponent try to render the wall/thickness/... useless, on the other hand how does the pro/dan player make his influence work.

You could do a lot worse than looking through Takemiya Masaki title matches

Thank you, Bill. I'll be using both of these for my studying!

A beautiful game just fell in my lap today. Was played about a month ago between Cho Chikun and Shibano Toramaru. Amazing game and great influence to be found and used!

Thanks for that link, too!

Anyway, I've already gone over a few games, still have many to go.
Today I played a game and I was building a lot of influence myself. So I decided to try and use the influence as I've already seen.

What I've noticed so far (could be wrong, though!) is that:
- pros tend to ignore their own influence. aka they play completely away.
- they keep their influence there and push their opponents towards it.
- they make points elsewhere on the board because of said pushing.

In the game I played, my influencal stones end up making 4 points on their own, but serve their function better in the middle game, I think.
So here's the game where I tried to put the teachings into practise. Let me know what you think of it!
