This is a game from ancient china, this game was known as the 遇仙图 which literally means met god picture or a game that met with the god

Black here has to find the next move(tesuji) to escape and have enough liberties to capture the corner.
Haha, I took out the rest of the game because, that next move(s) are hard to see. Black turned the whole game to his favor with this move.
This is a problem that is probably even above pro level, it requires super deep reading.
I was amazed when i saw this game. I don't think today's games can even compared to this one in terms of reading/fighting.

*edit* I think I should say almost every move in game was a tesuji haha!

I'd play the nose tesuji at L16 without looking twice.

yeah, nose looks like only move... it's neatish... but maybe I'm missing something

Yeah, the nose tesuji appears to lead to a decisive advantage in every variation that I can find...but there are too many branches to post a significant percentage here. P12 turns out to be a vicious move in many of them.

You guys are correct on the nose tesuji

Here's near the end of the game
Black to move again.
Find the move(s) to capture M16 group. Again reading is a bit deep.
