1001 GoGoD Games for your Coffee Break #24 (6 Feb 2013)

Accurately describing what is going on here, in a 2006 Meijin preliminary game, maybe takes more effort than I'm capable of, but if we invent the words ladderer and ladderee, it's an example first of a ladder that doesn't work for the ladderee, who makes himself look dumb in the process, starting with move 145 and putting a big group in atari, but then he switches to another ladder where he is the ladderer. Yet this ladder doesn't work either! But two dumbs make a belle and the climax of the procedure on 177 produces a beautiful finish, which frankly should have been much better known already. It was first highlighted by Yuki Satoshi but nevertheless, as a mere Kansai Ki-in game, it was destined to remain poorly known until T Mark spotted it for GoGoD.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
