The Evolution of Professional's Knowledge

1982 - Fujisawa's Semeai Variation

:
The variation of White now playing at 131, and capturing Black's centre group, is shown in the Go World article as being suboptimal (#1 757) / (#2 763), because Black would be three points better off. However, this classical assessment did not take the possibility of a succeeding oki (at O) into Black's potential eye into account, re-discovered by Joachim Meinhardt, which gains a decisive amount of points for White.

:
Fujisawa's Semeai Variation [LIT. 1; page 245] is shown as ending with this move. The rest of the endgame is omitted.
The result is given as "Black is ahead" only.

A continuation will be published by Cheng Xiaoliu in his 1988 book ( 761).
