A highly appreciated Chinese player returns after more than 1 year of absence


      "mijiaer" is a famous Chinese player on Tygem . There was an interesting interview,  some time ago, with the big Korean star Marriag(P), supposed to be Choi Cheolhan. He said that he is playing on Tygem only against top Chinese professionals or against new accounts with very good scores. Asked to mention some top Chinese opponents, Choi said that "hua" and "mijiaer" are very strong and he had a disappointing 0-2 score against mijiaer in the last games.
       For some reasons, mijiaer disappeared for more than 1 year from internet (his last game was played on 17th of September 2009), so I was pleasantly surprised to see him today confronting "kirle", a 9D from Korea, a strong opponent with an impressive winning percentage of 73%. The fame of mijiaer is still there, so very quickly 750 observers (!) were gathering to watch the show. And it was worth it !
       The game was extraordinary complicated and it would be too risky for me to make any comment. I just had a strange feeling that black was all the time in control. The final blow, starting with move 239 at K14, was so beautiful. I just wonder : "How can someone see something like that so quickly ?"
       During the game, I have asked if anybody from the observers can tell me the real name of mijiaer. A nice guy chatted with me and said that he is Hu Yaoyu, a Chinese  8 p. It looks like a reasonable claim , so I believe him.

                 "mijiaer" 9D ( Hu Yaoyu 8P) -  China : 574 - 190 (39097 p)
                 "kirle" 9D  - Korea : 244 - 88 (36453)

You are right, though w still seems to be better off that way (the top is bigger, and w could have sente). In the game w just sold the top cheaply (center was still ko).

I think that B6 threatens to cut the connection between B10 group and the bottom, in order to kill it.

What I don't see is why w answered b6? (instead of capturing the top)

I was amazed by K14 and I asked to myself the same question.
My understanding is that, after 244. wL14 bH11 there is a seki between G12 and J12 groups.
The second option would be 244.wH11 bL14 wK11 bL12 and I don´t see how will white solve his problems ( at least a very bad KO for him). The black stone at L11 plays a key role and made K14 possible.

I can see that Black has won, but I don't see how K14 would survive. Can someone help me with that?
