It looked like Dang was leading after he made that tremendous wall in the center. Yoo Chang-hyuk on Baduk TV was saying that it would be difficult for black to make up the komi after this because white's thickness was worth more than 10 points just in terms of territory and it made it impossible for black to attack white's group on the right side.

While Baek won, the more memorable moments of the game certainly belonged to Dang. First, the lower-right invasion and the diagonal-attachment that destroyed all of black's territory. Second, the cool judgment he made to allow black to capture stones on the left side and make that tremendous white wall. Dang has made some pretty cool moves in this series.

After the white wall was formed, the game became too insanely complex for me.

Given how young Dang is and the magnitude of this game, I understand how he might feel too upset to remain in his seat after the game. I wonder if he was nervous. Yoo Chang-hyuk said that Dang started playing some very strange moves in the end-game.

It also feels like Baek is a magician. Whatever he was doing well was hidden in complex sequences that were difficult for me to follow.

usually it is not how well i play that determine the win, but how badly my opponent plays.

yes he was winning after the wall but didnt know how to close the game while ahead.
correct sequence was not too hard for professionals but i guess byomi played the major factor in his reading.

Baek Hongsuk wins the fourth game by 0.5 and claims the BC card cup 3-1
Spilling gasoline feels good.

I might be wrong, but probably not.
