This game was adjourned, but who did you think would have won, if it had continued?

I like black here.
Edit: Oh, didn't notice black not alive on lower right. No clue then :p

The player who makes the next to last blunder.
To quote Tartakower (IIRC).

I'm just 5k but I added some comments on the game, in case they help you.
Abour who would win... I have no idea. I think I'd rather play black.

Really hard to say. Games are seldom won or lost in the first 40 moves, or even the first 100 moves. If I had to pick a colour, I'd probably go with white. Black's postions seem more cuttable and invadable, plus it's white's move, and P11 is crying out to be played.

Really? I figure O3 is really urgent to play for both?
