There was some recent discussion here about the MoGo/Steenvreter 9x9
game played in Amsterdam. I thought this game would make an interesting
topic for an article in the British Go Journal, and asked the British Go
Association's "Analysis service", David Ward, a 4-dan player, to comment
on it. His comments are attached, as an SGF file.
