    G5
  13. east · sourceturn 1325/250

  14. westturn 142/250
    H5
  15. eastturn 1534/250

    I play C6, extending the lower influence and keeping a solid shape while connecting to my earlier C5/G3 network. Your move—one coordinate only.
  20. westturn 202/250
    B5
  21. east · sourceturn 2131/250
