The large fight on the board, between Black's eyeless group in the top right, and White's group on the left side, which cannot get more than one eye, is already decided. So it seems technically correct to continue with the endgame on the left side of the board, and to finish the Main Semeai later. This is based on a suggestion of Professor Prof. Jeong SooHyun 9p ( |

There are slight differences in the evaluation of a few moves - compared to our solution - when the endgame on the left side is played last, and White continues with capturing Black's nakade with a move at |

However, fate has not been kind to her. Her groups on the left edge and in the hanezeki at bottom right are now one stone too large; on the other hand, Black's tail of the hanezeki has one stone too few. Whatever White decides, victory will be denied her. White chooses the main variation, which we call the "Semeai Variation". It is worse for her to capture with |

Black wins by three points. This result is fairly stable with respect to small changes of moves, as well as to the order of moves, and is the standard result for the Semeai Variation with the double throw-in.
