I don't understand why White can't capture p15. What about it makes that particular move an instant resign?

@syghur if he took the stone instead of extending, his group would die without any compensation.

@PaddyPBoyy Ah ha. Thanks! I'll try and play it out when I get home.

@syghur its a quite simple sequence: wO15(take stone) bO14, wP15, bN15, wN16, M16, N17, N18, M17, L17, M18, M19, L18, K18, L19, K19(capture)

Yoda is playing interesting influence games recently. He played a really strange opening against Cho Chikun on 2011-12-24. As white, his first move was the left side middle star point... Oo

Lost by 3.5 points though... It's fun to see pros experimenting :D
