The Endgame 4

Clearly north controls tempo conditions. After south6 C0, he'll use them to feed south a bead at a right time to set up a capture that will bring him on 17 points.

In the final position, north has a small lead, but this may not be enough: south controls the tempo conditions. A player needs at least 20 points to make possible the sacrifice of a 5 point gem, to take over the tempo conditions!
