I rather enjoyed this brawl between Lee Sedol and Park Junghwan in the 2nd game of the Maxim Cup final.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the term "brawl". Amazing! :clap:

I reviewed this game yesterday and it seemed like the match was totally one-sided. White was fighting for the life of two groups the whole time - crawling on the second line early then forcing his way across the board just to try to live - and I took move 107 as a victory declaration by black saying that white couldn't make enough points to compensate for what black got in the lower right.

Was my analysis of this game that off? Did white really have something good this game?

My take on this game, similar to moyoaji's, was that after white allowed himself to be cut, he was left with two heavy groups and black just beat on the pinata until the candy came out. White's salvation of his group seems so painful, as black got territory and strength to dominate much of the rest of the board.
