USGO2 [-\]: apparently the q6 connection isn't played anymore
Brian [1d\]: oh?
USGO2 [-\]: b would later have a good move at Q9
USGO2 [-\]: very specific to this fuseki
]
;W[ch]C[Brian [1d\]: do you mean Q6 O3 R10, then after R12 Q9?

;B[cj]C[USGO2 [-\]: Q10 is fine
Brian [1d\]: ok.  i'll think about it some more :-)
USGO2 [-\]: if w draws back again, B R11 makes it as if b attached at Q10 and w submissively extended
USGO2 [-\]: (said Ben last night)
Brian [1d\]: was Jeremy there when ben was describing all of this? :-)
USGO2 [-\]: no :)
saltwater: :(
USGO2 [-\]: but jeremy played Q7 not Q6 anyway
Brian [1d\]: i also saw q10 instead of q11 in this shape before in some pro games, but i don't understand it.  r11 seems more efficient
]
;W[eh]C[Brian [1d\]: there must be some special strategy
Brian [1d\]: *q10 instead of *r11

;B[ef]C[USGO2 [-\]: the nantasket beach resort in Hull, Ma
USGO2 [-\]: MA
USGO2 [-\]: temperatures this morning were 15F
Nyanjilla [-\]: beach resort.....
USGO2 [-\]: pleasantly above the -4F from yesterday
USGO2 [-\]: ...in January.  super cheap and we're the only ones here
Nyanjilla [-\]: good thinking
Koons [1k\]: bargain hunting AGA
ThiGar [4k\]: SOmething I noticed with Jeremy Chiu's games: he seems behind after fusekis, then does a great chuban, then loses some in the yose.
USGO2 [-\]: gotta be: go players are thrifty clever folk
Koons [1k\]: and many whined that NYC was too expensive
Koons [1k\]: though i thought it was epic
xedover [?\]: I'd go to another NYC Go Congress in a heartbeat

;W[cl]C[USGO2 [-\]: jeremy tsks as he plays C8

USGO2 [-\]: ben squints at j15 and adjusts it
USGO2 [-\]: like "here, really? hmm"
USGO2 [-\]: (but that last is pure speculation)

;B[nf]C[pwnnuki [1d\]: b's group doesn't have a lot of room either
bigfry [3d\]: b is condescending as usual
pwnnuki [1d\]: condescending?
bigfry [3d\]: looks down on people
pwnnuki [1d\]: I know the meaning of the word I don't understand its application here
bigfry [3d\]: he "squints at j15 and adjusts it"
USGO2 [-\]: it's just that
USGO2 [-\]: no idea what he  was thinking as he did it
USGO2 [-\]: J15 surprised me, maybe it surprised him too.
pwnnuki [1d\]: what were you thinking, andrew?
USGO2 [-\]: that J15 was a surprise :)
pwnnuki [1d\]: just jump out?
Brian [1d\]: does questioning your opponent's move mean you're condescending?
Koons [1k\]: i think maybe a snort would qualify
Koons [1k\]: a guffaw certainly
KochKoch [1d\]: i always take a snort before big games
Brian [1d\]: :-)
USGO2 [-\]: ._.
bigfry [3d\]: not usually brian, but ben is known for that lol
Brian [1d\]: i've only met ben once, but i didn't get that impression.  seems like a cool guy to me
bigfry [3d\]: I meet him every year.
Koons [1k\]: Ben is a good guy
Brian [1d\]: anyway, this is certainly an interesting fight
Brian [1d\]: looks likely that something will die
USGO2 [-\]: thank you Brian :)
USGO2 [-\]: yes, both players very intent on the top
Koons [1k\]: i would die as white for sure
USGO2 [-\]: ben looking upper left around C15 and jeremy around P14
USGO2 [-\]: then they switch...
pwnnuki [1d\]: go as a tennis match
USGO2 [-\]: yeah but out of sync
USGO2 [-\]: the heads go back and forth
USGO2 [-\]: amazingly well synchronized.

Koons [1k\]: so i would take it, but i see your point
humblelife [-\]: well b could o11 himself
humblelife [-\]: or sac the stones is my guess

;B[ih]C[USGO2 [-\]: ben tsks and sighs w/ J12
pwnnuki [1d\]: b damaged these stones to get solid points on top and now they are not even cutting stones (cutting live groups) so it just seems heavy to me is all

USGO2 [-\]: ben sighing a bit
