"Have a nice game!"
"Good luck!" "Black time counting begin!" Tap! "White time counting begin!"
Many moves and hours later there is nothing left to play, only this one corner. The game is extremely close, but you are in byoyomi and cannot count the score exactly. The only thing you have is your hope... and your skills.
Every point you lose now will decrease rapidly your chances to win. The last position to solve and then you will take a rest. You draw a deep breath and put the critical stone on the board...
