31. C 9.

32. L 3. White has established the long line on D and allowed Black a large territory in order to be able to occupy L 3. If he had played there immediately in answer to Black’s twenty-third move, then either L 3 or E 3 would have been in great danger.

64. K 7. An interesting attack that determines the course of the game for a long time. 65 J 8, would mean abandoning the position on G–J (26 “Me”), but it would give an opportunity for a bold attack. If Black played 65, J 6, his stones would scarcely survive.

65. K 3. “Sente.” White must reply to it, or he would find himself without the necessary “Me” in that group.

66. L 2.
