This surreal game was recently played on Korean TV with a fast time limit. Yi Setol seems to have landed himself in an impossible position by starting a ladder that doesn't work. Ladder breakers are useful tools: threaten to make the ladder work by playing a stone somewhere along the way. Sure enough, the ladder ends near a sensitive area of the board, and it seems like such a move might be possible. But where's the ladder breaker in this situation?
