Amusing counter tesuji in AlphaGo-inspired PGETC game

Post by Uberdude »

I found the following game between Dusan Mitic 6d of Serbia against Thomas Debarre 6d of France in the Pandanet European team championship fun. Dusan started with an AlphaGo-style shimari and early 3-3 invasion followed by wedging the side and hassling the wall. In the process of chasing the group he built a big right side moyo and then killed Thomas's invasion with an amusing deployment of the same shortage of liberties tesuji (4 in diagram 2) that Thomas used against him to try to live (1 in diagram 1 sente for 9 to capture 4 stones, but that's only 1 eye, at a glance could have been atari and hanging connection for a ko instead):
