winning a game without taking a stone

Can it be done ?-- winning a game without taking an opponent’s stones or maybe one or two at the most, talking about a 13x13 or 19x19 game, of course-- is that possible?

Yes

E.g. 19x19 ladder challenge: Concinnity vs Uberdude or 19x19 ladder challenge: shilba vs Uberdude or 19x19 ladder challenge: wilouf vs Uberdude or 19x19 ladder challenge: kerkeslager vs Uberdude or OGS Honinbo 2011 (Main Class), Round 3 Group 1. Last two all the way to endgame.
