6th game of the Meijin. Iyama is still alive.

The score is now 3-3, with a deciding game next week. Nigiri again.

Does this sound familiar? It sure does. I have even read a comment somewhere (twitter?)... according to it, not only the results are the same, but how the games progressed are similar too.

On one hand, I'd like another comeback. Fight against nature, epic,...

On the other hand, I'd feel bad for Shibano if he lost. Young players have little chance against punk Iyama.

Shibano could be on the way to final after that endgame magic.

Poor Shibano lost in the end.

I don't understand why he captured three stones in this position after the marked move was played. It doesn't look bigger than playing in the corner and it doesn't look like the biggest endgame. Why not play in the lower left?
