with this last play, white "blocks" the black stack of 75, so that it does not have a territory claim at 55
territory claims after 30 plays - white has created a connection with the vulnerable pieces at 45 and 35
74-attack, 83-defend, 71-a, 63-d, 23, 27-a, 17-d, 15
66-a, 45-d, 43, 68, 66-a, 58-d
There are some important plays here, not just attacking or defending, but also challenging territory.
For instance, white 45 does not just defend 65, it also neutralises 47,
which can prepare the way for an invasion, white playing at 47; or at least that black has to play there instead.
18-a, 28-d, 47, 86, 76 - black needs to connect
14, 34, 32, 21, 31, 24 - to protect from being surrounded on three sides
83, 53, 52, 53, 55, 54 - again, to protect against a three-sided surround
81-a, 71-d, 13, 47, 12, 67-a, 77-d, 11-a, 12-d, black pass, white pass
black had the choice to keep a point in the upper corner or at 57 by playing 47 then 67
might white have done better playing at 57?
the last two plays, 11 and 12, do not change any territory
