One of eight simultaneous games for White. 
];W[dm]
C[Last summer we were priviledged to welcome Mr Nakayama Noriyuki
to this country as the Nihon Kiin's official representative to
the European Championships. Before that event, he toured the
clubs, playing simultaneous games with all comers and generally
spreading his infectious enthusiasm for the game. Among these
encounters was the following game with Eddie Smitthers of Leicester.
Eddie wrote some comments on the game for the benefit of his
clubmates. We received a copy of these together with a few additional
remarks from Richard Granville. The following commentary marks
comments by Eddie as (S), those by Richard (G) and those by the
editors (E).

C[Black 5: Bad - 6(A), 7(B) or 10(C) would have separated white
cleanly. 
]LB[bj:C][ck:B][cj:A]
;W[cj];B[ck]
C[Black 7-11: These moves achieve nothing (G). I probably played
this wrongly - 9' below 8 might have been more interesting (S).
The game result does not seem too bad for Black - after 23 he
can pull out his stone 7 and threaten the white stones on the
side (E).

C[Black 17: I did not want to lose the chance of a corner foothold
for my group (S). Not bad but played for completely the wrong
reason - the purpose of 17 is to attack (G). If Black really
wants to defend his corner he should play 18 before 17 but this
is not recommended (E).

C[Black 19,21: Once he has played 19, Black must follow at 22.

C[Black 23: He should attack at 38(A) - the corner is too small.

C[Black 35, 39: Rather ineffective - the white group is difficult
to attack after 30 (G). I disagree - Black's play here is surely
justified by the fact that he did kill the white stones in the
end (E).

C[Black 49: Bad shape and purely defensive - he should hane to
the right of 42 (at A), counterattacking the white group on the
side.

C[Black 56: . . I thought this would give me a bombproof position
(S). Oh ye of little faith (E).

C[Black 65' must connect at 66(A). The black group at the top can
live if it is cut off.

C[White 84: Both Eddie & Richard Granville thought that this would
be better at 85(A). The position is shown again on page 21 as
a problem.

C[Black 91: Pointless. 
];W[jg];B[if];W[le];B[lc]
C[Black 95: Good, but only if he cuts below 98 instead of playing
99. That would have killed a few stones on the side and connected
all Black's stones together.

C[Black 101: Unnecessary. Please convince youtself that this group
cannot be killed (but notice that White has handled his dead
group on the left so that it has many liberties, and would win
the capturing race if he did contrive to kill black on the side
(E).

C[Black 107: His "bombproof" position has died in gote.

none of your polite 5 point win for Nakayama. (E)
