Ei-Kyu Cup	Yokota Shigeaki	Ota Seido	1996-10-02	1.50	250

It almost appears as if this game was played to illustrate the concept of "amashi". While black desperately tries to build territory white keeps on erasing it, thus trying to win the game with the initial advantage of the komi.

Judan title	Cho Chikun	O Rissei	2005-03-03	0.5	339

With his 21st move, Cho shows his unwillingness to let his opponent make any territory, and finally manages to win the game with a total territory (black plus white) of less than 40 points, despite white having 6.5 points komi.
