edit: hint
White, in byomi, needed sente and some time to win the game and he succeeded. Lee Changho failed to punish :w1: .
:w1: should have been at Q1, a big sente move. In the game B had the chance to pay a small fee and grab sente. The tesuji is some moves later and not quite open in the air.

Now if white tenuki, black has a nasty ko with the descent at O2 (white take first, but it's huge), and P1 is not sente for white (black can recapture)


If I'm right : Youhouu \o/

The question remains why Tryss' move for b results in a better result for him than if w has played correctly. That is why:

$$ X . O O X . |
$$ X O O O X . |
$$ . O X X O 2 |
$$ . . 1 . X . |

as above is better for w than Tryss' punishment of :w1: at 2 as in the diagram below:

[go]$$Wc w gets the same sente result, isn't he?
$$ X . O O X . |
$$ X O O O X 4 |
$$ . O X X O 1 |
$$ . 3 . 2 X . |
$$ ------------+[/go]
?

So who wins the "better than Lee Changho" title?

Tryss already noted in his post that: "P1 is not sente for white (black can recapture)". Showing he noticed the under the stones in the corner.

OK, problem solved, thx HH and MW, the title goes to Triss!!
edit: In the real game Lee Changho as B didn't tenuki as in MW's diagram. So W kept sente to play the winning endgame move elsewhere.
