;B[cr]C[croc [-\]: still a hard fight for w imo
RemiC [-\]: should have extended
croc [-\]: which move
RemiC [-\]: b5 
]
;W[ei]C[JeansebL [1d?\]: huge sacrice :p
JeansebL [1d?\]: sacrifice * :p
croc [-\]: w is gone to me :P
JeansebL [1d?\]: well, because of j3
RemiC [-\]: b5 b6 b7 b4 c7 c10 and then 2-2 and net are miai
JeansebL [1d?\]: w is not totally dead 
]
;B[ck]C[sedgwick [?\]: b7 surprised me, I expected d7 as the follow up
sedgwick [?\]: c7 I mean
]
;W[dj]C[JeansebL [1d?\]: if d6 dies but g2 lives, it's still playable for white...
ed8848: done
]
;B[cl]
;W[cm]
;B[bi]C[JeansebL [1d?\]: wow
JeansebL [1d?\]: corner is not totally alive right?
croc [-\]: totally not :)
croc [-\]: but libs too long
JeansebL [1d?\]: :p
sedgwick [?\]: how does w start against the corner, just take the ko?
ed8848: sacrifice for nothing
JeansebL [1d?\]: yeah it's a tough race
gogonuts [4d\]: c5 a5 would normally be ko, but with c6 extra ko I dunno :-)
JeansebL [1d?\]: I think black played b11 way too fast, that race deserves a lot of thinking :p
gogonuts [4d\]: nah
remsleep [?\]: b2 and a4 if w really wanted to start?
gogonuts [4d\]: he needed b11 in any case
JeansebL [1d?\]: hmm that might be true
gogonuts [4d\]: now he can think on the opponents time :-)
JeansebL [1d?\]: XD
odnihs [-\]: White is pretty donezo
JeansebL [1d?\]: I wouldn't say that too quickly :p
odnihs [-\]: I would :p
JeansebL [1d?\]: you're reading must be very strong
JeansebL [1d?\]: the corner race is really not clear to me
croc [-\]: B-2 only to me
croc [-\]: which means b will have more than 6 libs
sedgwick [?\]: with the ko above w might get 7...
croc [-\]: C-5, A-4 lives?
croc [-\]: no
sedgwick [?\]: strange time for white to be thinking so hard, I would think w would have to have their plan set for this to play to here...
sedgwick [?\]: I.E when playing e11 this sequence could be expected
gogonuts [4d\]: i don't think this fight went to ws satisfaction
gogonuts [4d\]: now he's brooding for an upset
sedgwick [?\]: unless b had some misread when playing e11, and now forced to change plans...
gogonuts [4d\]: i think b was happy with b11
gogonuts [4d\]: his group got space, ws didn't
sedgwick [?\]: for sure e11 feels good for b...
sedgwick [?\]: sorry b11
]
;W[ao]
;B[ap]C[gogonuts [4d\]: b doesn't need to live in the corner
gogonuts [4d\]: a large eye would be fine
JeansebL [1d?\]: even that is not clear to me
gogonuts [4d\]: c5 b4 c1 b1 a2 d1 
]
;W[ar]C[gogonuts [4d\]: 5 space eye = 8 libs
gogonuts [4d\]: that is trickier
]
;B[an]C[plumplum: it's only 8 if there's no stone on the vital point
gogonuts [4d\]: you have to mentally subtract one :-)
remsleep [?\]: minus stones in the eye
]
;W[aq]C[croc [-\]: ?
JeansebL [1d?\]: b can live now?
JeansebL [1d?\]: ah but maybe w gains enough libs to kill e8 ?
plumplum: not happening
JeansebL [1d?\]: if w takes both c6 a6 , maybe the race is agaisnt f7 
plumplum: black is alive in triple ko at worst
]
;B[bs]C[gogonuts [4d\]: c5 is a sure win here
plumplum: not even bottom is alive
plumplum: shame
gogonuts [4d\]: b prefered eyes :-)
JeansebL [1d?\]: ohhh
plumplum: it's hard to find a move that doesn't work for b
gogonuts [4d\]: but connecting at c5 was better for bs outside group, imo
gogonuts [4d\]: true, plumplum :-)
gogonuts [4d\]: the manly move was tenuki :_)
plumplum: w could j3 for life on bottom
]
;W[am]C[JeansebL [1d?\]: well, a3 was a trap I think hoping for b3, but then b1 worked for w I think
JeansebL [1d?\]: nevermind
JeansebL [1d?\]: I don't see why b3 didn't worked directly
gogonuts [4d\]: lots of b moves work again
gogonuts [4d\]: if b does nothing, w has a trick at b4
plumplum: corner group has at least 9 approach liberties, w only has 5
sedgwick [?\]: b will b4 now?
gogonuts [4d\]: w also looking at c10
gogonuts [4d\]: b1 wasnt the best way to finish it
plumplum: c1 already better
gogonuts [4d\]: just b4 is reasonable, imo
gogonuts [4d\]: but b wanted to avoid w d1 sente
plumplum: how is d1 sente
plumplum: b could j2 and still be fine
plumplum: w can't win double ko
plumplum: especially without eyes
odnihs [-\]: seems like ko but favorable for b
YoungPro [-\]: game over theoritically
]
;B[bp]C[plumplum: *practically
gogonuts [4d\]: in practice, it's an amateur game :-)
Alife361 [5k?\]: legaly
tobe: so theoretically practically?
odnihs [-\]: hm actually seems like not even a ko
odnihs [-\]: ko if black wants everything
]
;W[oj]C[odnihs [-\]: or he can just take half and sente
plumplum: if w makes life with h3, b has about 60 pts, white would have to make... over 50 points

;B[nj]

;B[ol]C[plumplum: if w lets it die, ... w has to make more like 70.
