W142@n12; B145@M12
White wins by resignation after moves 166. Time used: Black - 7 hr 59 min; White 7 hr 55 min
Series tied at 2 games apiece.
A very interesting game. The opening seems like a varient of a fairly new opening called the "Sideways Chinese" opening up to move 11 (but an unusual varient, if it is). I haven't studied this game enough to make more comments ... feel free to make comments or ask questions.

If you're having troubles visualizing the course of the game with this game record, I would be happy to e-mail the game record in .sgf format (with instructions) to anyone.
Anyway ... during the coming week, I'll present a famous game(2nd Kisei, game 5) that illustrates the "Chinese Opening" very well. (BTW, currently ... the winner of the Kisei each year is awarded approx. $300,000 - $350,000! That's not pocket change!)
Enjoy!
