PW[Ke Jie]PB[Qiu Jun]WR[9p]BR[9p]DT[2015-01-14]SO[gokifu.com]C[This is the final game of the Bailing Cup this year. Ke Jie is rising young star and is looking for his first International Title while Qiu Jun has long been a consistent player in China for many years. 
At age 17, Ke Jie is a representative of the generation of go players born after 1990. In all, this can be seen as a clash of generations in Chinese Go players.]BC[cn]WC[cn]

White essentially won because white has extra ko threats at the end. You could say that as soon as the ko began white will win as black simply lacked enough ko threats. However both players could not have predicted this.

The main focus of the game however should be on the mid game and early game. We can see how unconventional and new play can develop into new joseki variations and why certain moves may be better in certain situations even if it isn't written in the book. ])
