C[This is the game I played as Black during the 19th Fujitsu World \
Go Championship. My opponent is Cho Chikun, 9-dan, one of the \
strongest Japanese masters]

regularly]

C[White can also think about an extension at X -]

C[The most solid answer. Black can also try the pincer at A or \
B, but I was trying to keep the game as simple as possible]

at X]
