C[White 20 is not very interesting for White, playing 21 instead of 20 is harder on Black.

C[Black 25 is a brave move; if Black now gets the opportunity to solidify his shape on 27, it looks okay for Black.

C[White 26 may be better on 27: if Black defends his cutting point between 5 and 23, White can push through at 32.

C[Pieter: When I played through this game for the first time, I was struck by your healthy fighting spirit; such a move as 29 says it all. Certainly no move you would expect from a weaker player.

Catalin: Umm, if Black doesn't win the ko White naturally starts, then black 29 is a little ? - I wouldn't play there now.

C[Black wins the ko and with the benefit of hindsight every move he made in the bottom right becomes a stroke of genius.

C[White probably made a mistake playing his continuation in the bottom left; after black 55 Black's position is very good.

C[With 59-61-63 Black makes a rock solid group. Although white 60 and 62 are reasonable moves, they seem too slow for White to catch up.
