The "Territory King" vs. (The man who likes things...?) "In the Sea"


Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I've given an update on GoSensations.com.  A lot has happened since then.  In any case, I thought I'd give things another swing, and share another sensational game from Tygem.  


Black's ID is "바다에는", which may translate to "In the sea...".  While I'm not exactly sure what he seems to like about the sea or that which lies within, he's certainly kept his boat afloat as an 8d on Tygem, having won 10 out of his last 20 games.  


White goes by "지녕왕", which translates to "Territory King".  I suppose the meaning behind his name is clear... :-)  He must be confident with his ability to gain territory...  And rightly so, as can be seen in his victorious battle to the death... er, yose!


While both of the players featured today are certainly strong, I chose today's game due to the interesting sequence that erupted in the top right.  Maybe it's a joseki, but it's certainly a pattern that I've never seen before!  What do you think of black's result after the first 25 moves?

Interesting sequence. It doesn't look too bad to me, though I can see why it's not common. B wanted to develop the top so badly, he was willing to concede a fair chunk of territory

Isn't white's move #28 too slow?
What is behind it?
I suppose that it's against confining?
