New Japanese GO manga Go to Go Hazuki Ichihara vs Kosei Akiyama(2 stones)

The Go manga “Go to Go”, which is the first weekly serialization about Go in Japan in 21 years since the highly popular “Hikaru no Go”, has reached a conclusion in its 6th chapter regarding the public match that began in the 4th chapter. The match featured Go instructor Hazuki Ichihara facing off against Kosei Akiyama, the tournament winner (with a 2-stone handicap).

I watched this match while analyzing it with AI. Please try to recreate it using TsubuyaKifu.

Black 36: My early moves were skillfully parried…
White 71: The 2-stone handicap advantage is already gone in the opening.
Black 72: If only I can break through on this upper side!
White 115: How can they parry everything?
Black 120: Huh? Sholder hit?
Black 122: Ah, damn it. How could I be so stupid?
Black 148: Not just the center, I’ll take the entire lower side too! White 149: As if I’d let you. I’ll wreck that whole lower side. I’ll stop your momentum.
Black 166
White 167
Black 176
Black 192
Black 194

The basis for this game record is a castle game (Oshirogo) from the Edo period between Inoue Ansetsu (later Genan Inseki) and Honinbo Genjo. Looking at the board in the manga, this game is faithfully recreated. The result is also the same, Black wins by one point.
