Great tesuji - Black 2

Game against Lian was great performance of fighting spirit. After first fight the situation seems to be good for Zhou (Black), so Lian decide to attack upper side. Zhou couldn’t kill invader so he decide to sacrifice some stones to get influence and attack upper-left corner. The Black from diagram is really sharp move. This game show that to win a game you need to be capable to find this kind of move.

Latter Lian again invade but this time the result was a ko and Lian was lacking ko threat so he was forced to resign.
