Japanese narration (RealAudio sound file)
"Heated battle of 282 moves. A cool 2 points were left"
ヨセ勝負となった本局だが、最後の見どころは二百手を過ぎてから突如現われる。そもそも白１０１のハネに黒Ａとゆるめておけば何事もなかった。白１０５とホウリ込み、Ｂの利きを残して白１１１のコウ発生。
This part became an endgame match. The final point of interest appeared suddenly after the 200th move. First of all if the HANE of white-101 were relaxed by black-A, there would have been no problem. White-105 was thrown in and utilizing B, the ko of white-111 appeared.
だが当のムーアさんは冷静だった。普通はこんな所が手になってはだめとしたものだが、「黒にはコウ材があるので、チャンスは十分あると思っていました」。そして「三王先生の顔色が悪いので、勝てるかなと・・・」なんてニクイことを言うのである。
However, Moore-san was calm. Usually, if such a thing happens in such a place one would give up. Moore-san says, "I knew I had a good chance because black had ko threats and also because Sanno SENSEI's facial expression did not look too well...." He said it well.
ムーアさんの判断は正しかった。白には第６譜、１９ぐらいのコウ材しかなく、黒２０とコウを解消して、最後はしっかり２目残していたのには恐れ入った。
Moore-san's judgement was right. White only had the ko threat of 19 in the 6th diagram. I was impressed when black-20 erased the ko and in the end it left two eyes.
「八子ではもう勝てません。三段は十分あるでしょう」
"I cannot beat him at 8 stones. He is well qualified to be 3-Dan."
三王九段の言葉を土産に、ムーアさんはアメリカに帰っていった。これでますます囲碁が、日本が好きになったに違いない。
He left for the USA carrying Mr. Sanno's comment in his heart as his souvenir. I bet he will come to like Go better and Japan better.
２８２手完、黒２目勝ち
Completion; 282 moves. Black 2-point victory
