In the article there's a bit of everything, pictures, background, and diagrams with game analysis.
Interesting moments in pro games 2
Interesting ladder-breaker situation in this game (happens fairly early in the opening, so in the first 15 minutes of the video)

Former world champion Lee Chang-ho (이창호) on the left in the video.

Where would you play on move 10?
Moves 10 to 16 are so elegant and IMO a small masterclass in splitting the opponent formation and connecting your stones.
Another Lee Chang-ho game - interesting frameworks!

Interesting handling of the group started at the top left, in this match between Tan Xiao and Xu Jiayuan also known as Kyo Kagen, after a second line approach to the 4-4 and subsequently white presses it down

Very interesting how black handles after F17 at t=1533 (with a tenuki) as well!
