But you could indeed humiliate the opponent by actually capturing ALL of his stones. But that won't happen, if the enemy knows at least the basic concepts ... Still, if you play well, you cover much ground - while trying to supress the area of the enemy and even crushing him. But classic go is nice in a way, that it gives weaker opponents a start bonus of some stones - so the game is balanced and domination usually won't happen ...

My brother once played the (then) British Youth Go Champion on a 13x13 board, and lost by around 180 points - literally scoring worse than if he hadn't played at all.
