Wow, I did not imagine how that move would be useful later! But the very
end is confusing to my human brain, couldn't White move 56 retake the ko
and win it? It seems like Black only has one real ko threat left (J4
maybe). But White also has one huge threat left (D3), so it seems like
White should win this ko and then be about 4 ahead with komi. Am I
missing something?
