USGO2 [-\]: very similar to the game Jeremy played against Ryan in the last round

;W[kp]
;B[ed]C[Bombil [3k\]: logang why you dont ask if they can spit on each other during the game?
USGO2 [-\]: AFAIK, the only tournament that permits trash talk is the blitz tournament at the US Go Congress every year
USGO2 [-\]: it's hilariously awesome
logang [6k?\]: haha gotcha, Thanks
USGO2 [-\]: the mood here is quieter than a library
USGO2 [-\]: it's spooking the hotel staff, actually

Bombil [3k\]: you should
Warfreak2 [4d\]: i will not, but only because the joke has already been explained
Bombil [3k\]: but they dont know it
JFK: Teacher. You must win this game
JFK: oops wrong server^^
logang [6k?\]: What do you all think about the shape black has in the upper left?
Warfreak2 [4d\]: i suppose you can call that a shape, yes
JFK: is the famous "nanny bed dressed walking holding a lantern in front of her"
logang [6k?\]: hahaha
JFK: seriously

logang [6k?\]: Why do you like it, Bombil?

logang [6k?\]: hehe
USGO2 [-\]: (not me!)

moyoaji [2k?\]: It does all scoring wrong
LGildas [2d\]: W+.5 ?
Warfreak2 [4d\]: SE does a lot of things wrong
killmejk [4k\]: ben by 1.5
maher139 [1k\]: tygems score estimator is pretty good
yoof [?\]: gratz Ben!
moyoaji [2k?\]: Do we have a score, USGO2?
U [?\]: theyre counting
USGO2 [-\]: Half a point
maher139 [1k\]: i think they're counting right now
GodofGo [6d\]: kgs says its 0.5
USGO2 [-\]: for Ben!
U [?\]: give em more than 20 seconds to count
Warfreak2 [4d\]: yay ben!
moyoaji [2k?\]: Wow
GodofGo [6d\]: yup w+0.5
Illyria [?\]: super close
killmejk [4k\]: wow
maher139 [1k\]: wow
maher139 [1k\]: insane
Illyria [?\]: thanks usgo2!
Warfreak2 [4d\]: b+0.5 is not a possible result in AGA rules, without a seki
Warfreak2 [4d\]: so, when you said half a point, i knew ben won
Warfreak2 [4d\]: *nerd*
moyoaji [2k?\]: Why?
maher139 [1k\]: pass stone
moyoaji [2k?\]: What about pass stones prevents that?
Warfreak2 [4d\]: because of the "white passes last" rule
U [?\]: so ben and jeremy will play tomorrow, ben up 2-1
Warfreak2 [4d\]: the score can only differ by multiples of 2
USGO1 [-\]: Correct, U.
maher139 [1k\]: alright~
DrStraw [-\]: well b+0.5 = 2x b+0.25
LGildas [2d\]: so komi having an additional half point is useless
LGildas [2d\]: komi could be 7
LGildas [2d\]: ?
U [?\]: i dont see why that would matter
Warfreak2 [4d\]: no, because of seki
U [?\]: the game ryan li lost he was white and was down half a point, right?
LGildas [2d\]: ah
moyoaji [2k?\]: I don't think that's wright.
Warfreak2 [4d\]: anyway, you mean 8, not 7
Warfreak2 [4d\]: this game is w+0.5 with 7.5 komi
USGO2 [-\]: thanks for watching
LGildas [2d\]: seki with an odd number of noplay spaces ?
USGO2 [-\]: stay tuned for tomorrow's games
Warfreak2 [4d\]: yes, seki with odd number of dame changes the parity
U [?\]: yeah ryans loss vs matt was b+0.5
Warfreak2 [4d\]: with a seki?
xedover [?\]: no it wasn't
moyoaji [2k?\]: Pass stones don't change the outcome. It is just area scoring.
U [?\]: ryuan resigned but b was up half a point
Warfreak2 [4d\]: and in area scoring, because the scores must add to 361, one must be odd and the other even
Warfreak2 [4d\]: so the difference can only change by a multiple of 2
Lsugyen [7d\]: what was the result?
moyoaji [2k?\]: In area scoring, prisoners don't count
xedover [?\]: of this game, or the other one they're discussing?
Lsugyen [7d\]: who won?
moyoaji [2k?\]: Ben won
Lsugyen [7d\]: by?
moyoaji [2k?\]: By 0.5
xedover [?\]: W+0.5
Lsugyen [7d\]: interesing
