Go is often full of surprise, like what happened in the following game:

At one point, black comfortably controlled the centre of the board.

I could not believe my eyes when the game ended like this - not only all the potentials were gone, but all black stones (58 of them) were dead.

I can see your surprise in the way the game turned out, but they're not *all* dead if black kept playing:

I admit I did not attempt to read the life&death or count the points. Black must be short of points. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. And In fact black can save the 4 stones are well.

Interesting. Why did black so passively allow his center to be taken away?
