USGO3 [-\]: In the background, on and off, is the sound of the air heating system.  Superimposed is the rustle and occasional click of go stones and the sniffles and sneezes.

;B[fd]C[JeansebL [7d?\]: maybe black chose the wrong joseki
USGO3 [-\]: A thin snow has begun to fall outside.
USGO3 [-\]: "It sifts from Leaden Sieves - 
saltwater: I wonder if the players got at least a photo of the cake girl to see if it is worth their time to play for a 5th of her
USGO3 [-\]: It powders all the wood.
USGO3 [-\]: It fills with Alabaster wool
USGO3 [-\]: The wrinkles of the road."
USGO3 [-\]: Time for a cookie.
USGO3 [-\]: I have no information about a cake
JeansebL [7d?\]: XD
]
;W[di]C[USGO3 [-\]: Daniel almost moves, then changes his mind and pensively taps a black stone on the table while thinking.
]
;B[dj]C[saltwater: if there is no cake what is the 5th place worth?
]
;W[ci]
;B[fj]C[MaLa [5d?\]: I think they were afraid of scribes trying to steal the cake, while the players are fighting here
MaLa [5d?\]: but there will be a cake
MaLa [5d?\]: it is just topsecret
Hofobbefes [1d\]: there is always a cake
USGO3 [-\]: If you don't know ..;.
Hofobbefes [1d\]: when two men fights
MaLa [5d?\]: USGO3 already ate the cake?
MaLa [5d?\]: if there will be no cake... we know who is to blame
USGO3 [-\]: As the poet wrote ...
USGO3 [-\]: "The shades of night were falling fast,
USGO3 [-\]: As through an Alpine village passed
USGO3 [-\]: A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice,
USGO3 [-\]: A banner with the strage device,
USGO3 [-\]: Excelsior@"
Welvang [-\]: stop flooding thx
JeansebL [7d?\]: XD
JeansebL [7d?\]: How dare you call this flooding welvang, it's pure art 
Welvang [-\]: my answer was pure art too
Hofobbefes [1d\]: stop scribing, you are disturbing the kibitz, usgo3
JeansebL [7d?\]: My cash is on black
USGO3 [-\]: I shall enjoy the kibitz then.
Welvang [-\]: i was kidding usgo3, i studied poetry and enjoy it
Welvang [-\]: daniel gourdeau is stronger
Welvang [-\]: so he shall win
USGO2 [-\]: excelsior: unofficial motto of the AGA pro tournament
]
;W[fh]C[USGO3 [-\]: [tips hat\] all in good fun
JeansebL [7d?\]: yeah well... he lost against mathew in the round robin because of a silly mistake... I just hope it won't happen again :p
USGO3 [-\]: Matthew has 50 minutes left, Daniel an hour and 16 minutes.

]
;W[oh]C[Hofobbefes [1d\]: anyaway, seriusly, why pushing before s2?
]
;B[cg]C[JeansebL [7d?\]: to make sure white is cut off
JeansebL [7d?\]: if you s2 right away, w might ignore and connect his group
USGO3 [-\]: Matthew tilts his head sideways for a moment looking at this move of Daniel's
JeansebL [7d?\]: this move explains why black played the exchange at e11 and lost sente with c10 
JeansebL [7d?\]: it seems there was a nice follow up
JeansebL [7d?\]: but I suspect there is a way to refute this move...
]
;W[bi]
;B[be]C[Hofobbefes [1d\]: the timing of c13 seems odd to me
USGO3 [-\]: Ben proposes the refutation at b11, Daniel answers instantly
]
;W[bf]
;B[bd]C[USGO3 [-\]: Answers Ben's next move instantly too.
xedover [?\]: Ben?
USGO3 [-\]: Sorry Matthew
xedover [?\]: :)
USGO3 [-\]: Was just looking at the other game
Hofobbefes [1d\]: would be nice if players are allowed to steal the move to other boards players
USGO3 [-\]: Matthew has 30 minutes main time, Daniel an hour and 13 minutes

Hofobbefes [1d\]: maybe it's too cold
]
;W[mc]
;B[nb]C[saltwater: I wonder what ranks they are on kgs
saltwater: AGA ranks are pretty weak after all
JeansebL [7d?\]: I don't like how the game evolvd for black...
jianq [3d\]: S4 huge
JeansebL [7d?\]: w stabilized everything too easily in sente...
JeansebL [7d?\]: ot 100% stable of course but still...
