I read that white 100 was losing move. Instead of this Hane Naoki should connect right side with group on upper left side and attack black on bigger scale

I’m amazed by Hane comeback. Good for him

Right, I read that myself in a Go World a while ago.
Now, of course, there weren’t so many cases of recoveries from 0-3, so “statistically” those numbers aren’t that rigorously relevant, but very interesting nevertheless.

During this series, I read somewhere that statistically Hane was expected to win: When a challenger comes back from an 0 - 3 deficit, they’re much more likely to win the 7th and final game.
