daniug [2d\]: what is this?:)

daniug [2d\]: unusual one....w probably gets too strong

OneStone [6d\]: however then B can flatten with q13 r12 and pincer around l17 
aa [3d\]: c5 seems like a ko threat

aa [3d\]: r14 probably bad

;B[pb]C[OneStone [6d\]: So - that was gonna be my next comment - W will probably push up at q13

aa [3d\]: forgot(?) to atari lol
tas6466 [5k\]: trying to play light?
OneStone [6d\]: BUT the atari is a bit vulgar - an improvement would be to exchange q5 r5 
aa [3d\]: so maybe it's good to skip the atari for now
CBlue [?\]: does b really want to exchange q10 for s13?
CBlue [?\]: @onestone
OneStone [6d\]: No, CBlue, he doesn't

;B[jm]C[lukep [5k\]: definitely preferring black 
OneStone [6d\]: w is heavy
aa [3d\]: w's invasion not very good
OneStone [6d\]: But I hope you appreciate the implication of B q10 being sante
OneStone [6d\]: sente
lukep [5k\]: it makes the bottom group even weaker? 
OneStone [6d\]: yes
aa [3d\]: so maybe after q14 w should just p11 
tas6466 [5k\]: it makes aji less useful for white against the bottom i think to be more precise4
Horse [8k\]: is n10 too far ?
]
;W[lk]C[Horse [8k\]: well, at least i got the direction correct
OneStone [6d\]: Since B q10 is sente, W should stay away as far as possible from B's strength, which is the reason for m9 
tas6466 [5k\]: too risky with the q10 push horse
lukep [5k\]: black should probably aim at TL now
Horse [8k\]: ah, ok thanks
aa [3d\]: I wonder what the followup to c5 is
Horse [8k\]: so white is out, that means black has sente to play eh, where ?
aa [3d\]: c14 big
tas6466 [5k\]: i think f17 is probably bigger no?

tas6466 [5k\]: guess not :)

;W[fo]C[aa [3d\]: f5 was good for b
OneStone [6d\]: f5 makes questionable shape

lukep [5k\]: g4?
OneStone [6d\]: for W, yes
aa [3d\]: will b tenuki?
]
;B[fc]C[aa [3d\]: yes I would also play f17

Farlokko [12k\]: "...territory is a by-product of good play" (wise guy)
aa [3d\]: b can c17 and end in sente
aa [3d\]: but w's side would be too good?
]
;B[cd]C[aa [3d\]: good choice
tas6466 [5k\]: is c13 good now?
OneStone [6d\]: Exactly, Farlokko
aa [3d\]: don't think c13 is good
aa [3d\]: either c15 or c17 now
Farlokko [12k\]: ;-)
OneStone [6d\]: c15 b15 d15 b13 c17 b16 e13 d12 j17 looks ok for W

Farlokko [12k\]: live inside in this case
Farlokko [12k\]: maybe is better

;W[ec]C[aa [3d\]: e13 old joseki
aa [3d\]: very bad move
aa [3d\]: e17 is correct
aa [3d\]: now w has c12 peep
lukep [5k\]: yeah 
lukep [5k\]: def better
ZenMind [8k\]: m17 reasonable?
Horse [8k\]: perhaps, i was thinking of something like k17 
tas6466 [5k\]: very
OneStone [6d\]: k17 looks ok now
aa [3d\]: then b can e18 
aa [3d\]: e18 d18 e16 painful for w I think
tas6466 [5k\]: after e18 wouldn't w just h17 or some type of pincer?
aa [3d\]: b won't e18 now
aa [3d\]: I'm saying later

ZenMind [8k\]: haha, close enough
]
;B[md]C[aa [3d\]: c12 
]
;W[je]C[Horse [8k\]: ok next guess c6 
OneStone [6d\]: clearly B m17 was wrong
Farlokko [12k\]: is J16 possible for b
Farlokko [12k\]: trying to use the aji?
Horse [8k\]: white is getting more on the top than black right ?
tas6466 [5k\]: definately
OneStone [6d\]: W k17 and k15 are great for W
OneStone [6d\]: j16 would be 100% aji-keshi
ZenMind [8k\]: Just about Ideal I would say
OneStone [6d\]: so erasure of any aji
Horse [8k\]: then again black may use his sente for a stunning move
tas6466 [5k\]: c7 looks fun for b
aa [3d\]: b can also push e13 himself
Horse [8k\]: how about k9 ?
tas6466 [5k\]: not much in the center for either player
OneStone [6d\]: Well, locally k9 is good, but maybe it's too easy on W
ZenMind [8k\]: If b e13, couldnt white c12 then c9 or something?
aa [3d\]: I don't see much benefit to k9 
Horse [8k\]: e13 then f13 i guess
Herod [-\]: Seems question is where along c line to extend
]
;B[ck]C[spacetime [4d\]: I think h4 area is big
spacetime [4d\]: maybe g3 for w now?or j5? not sure but something there is big
Horse [8k\]: well, that was the c line alright
OneStone [6d\]: g3 ?
Argus [-\]: j4?
Horse [8k\]: also threatens to revive c5 if i am not misteken
spacetime [4d\]: also what's the status of o16 for w?
OneStone [6d\]: It's kind of obvious, Horse.
]
;W[nd]C[tas6466 [5k\]: not dead
spacetime [4d\]: ah, we're about to find out :)
tas6466 [5k\]: :)

]
;B[ne]
;W[me]
;B[le]
;W[mf]C[OneStone [6d\]: m14 
OneStone [6d\]: For anybody over 3k, I think, Horse.
Horse [8k\]: ok
OneStone [6d\]: And you got it, so....
tas6466 [5k\]: is w trying to cut off the whole b group?
OneStone [6d\]: Anyway B has to play m14 n13 o14 m13 l14 
Horse [8k\]: sorry 
ZenMind [8k\]: I appreciated your comment horse
Horse [8k\]: just trying to learn a bit
Horse [8k\]: but OneStone is right, he is much stronger :-)
Argus [-\]: what about j16 before m14?
lukep [5k\]: p16
tas6466 [5k\]: j16 just helps w get stronger in the area
Argus [-\]: or heavier
]
;B[nf]
;W[lf]C[Farlokko [12k\]: o14 seems a bad move instead of m14
ZenMind [8k\]: Its not heavy when it is a wall enclosing an area. Just heavy if its an isolated group (maybe)
tas6466 [5k\]: good thinking Zen :)
ZenMind [8k\]:      :D
Argus [-\]: now its stronger, but with bj16 b can sedparate k17 group
OneStone [6d\]: o14 was bad
ZenMind [8k\]: hows m18 now?
tas6466 [5k\]: unhappy
OneStone [6d\]: m18 looks best now
Farlokko [12k\]: n18 is impossible?
ZenMind [8k\]: m18 also threatens to go into whites framework
ZenMind [8k\]: and after w N17 then w L18 is sente
tas6466 [5k\]: maybe b played o14 looking at the push at p10?
]
;B[mb]C[Farlokko [12k\]: yee XD
]
;W[nb]C[ZenMind [8k\]: haha, well there ya go!
Farlokko [12k\]: maybe l18 now
Farlokko [12k\]: or p18?
xedover [?\]: photos all all 4 boards posted now at https://www.facebook.com/AmericanGoAssociation
sentra [1d\]: m16
lukep [5k\]: l18
Horse [8k\]: n17 kills the 3 stones also 
tas6466 [5k\]: i am still trying to read the point of o18
Farlokko [12k\]: guess kill black stones
USGO3 [-\]: Yuan considers his next move carefully.
Farlokko [12k\]: i cant' see any other aim
]
;B[kb]
;W[jb]C[tas6466 [5k\]: keep aji on the board maybe
Horse [8k\]: o13 now perhaps ?
Farlokko [12k\]: maybe he wants to try to kill black stones to fortify himself
Farlokko [12k\]: and then play somethng like k-9-10
Argus [-\]: o19
OneStone [6d\]: No, the aim of o18 is to slow down the capturing process - B will have to spend more moves on it later, which means his territory will become smaller (semedori).
tas6466 [5k\]: thanks OneStone :)
lukep [5k\]: yup
Farlokko [12k\]: so it was just for 2 points?
Farlokko [12k\]: i mean....l18 was bigger no?
Farlokko [12k\]: (for w)
tas6466 [5k\]: it was for endgame
tas6466 [5k\]: as w fills in outside libs, b has to spend moves inside
lukep [5k\]: l18 helps white
lukep [5k\]: but it was the only way for black 
lukep [5k\]: because of o18
Farlokko [12k\]: i got it. The thing i don't understand is why playing an end game move in mid game
lukep [5k\]: it's not end game
BeefSaku [1d\]: It's absolute sente
lukep [5k\]: it's for endgame
Farlokko [12k\]: after o18 black couldn't tenuki?
tas6466 [5k\]: it was a free (sente) move that gives him more free(sente) moves in endgame
spacetime [4d\]: no, cause then w would win the race
BeefSaku [1d\]: O18 gives white an additional liberty that makes the seal-in more effective and worth more points - AND in sente
Farlokko [12k\]: thanks. Which would have been the next move for w after a black tenuki to kill?
spacetime [4d\]: atari at n17 and then m18 cut, for example
spacetime [4d\]: now I think black is trying to see whether e can tenuki now
spacetime [4d\]: probably can't? not sure..
lukep [5k\]: i think b is still winning
eyesdown [1k\]: i think w n19 kills b
Farlokko [12k\]: thanks for the explanations. I really appreciate it ^^
Argus [-\]: b o19 prevents ko if w n19 first i don't think b can tenuki yet
spacetime [4d\]: i think whoever gets sente out of this will be ahead. white certainly assumes he will get sente or else he wouldn't have started this sequence in the first place
spacetime [4d\]: the bottom seems pretty urgent, around g3
Farlokko [12k\]: is g4 a good move there?
]
;B[na]
;W[ng]C[arbas [1k?\]: f12 will be really big?
spacetime [4d\]: interesting. this is so calm and slow. but big
eyesdown [1k\]: first attack bottom
BeefSaku [1d\]: White is so thick
]
;B[eg]C[spacetime [4d\]: it also means that if white gets s14 in the endgame, he will have a clamp at s16 follow up
lukep [5k\]: o16-18 is like a thorn in black 
]
;W[fg]C[BeefSaku [1d\]: O13 is big tyme honte, surprising
eyesdown [1k\]: after this sequence w j5 seems like a good start to attack
spacetime [4d\]: in fact, i think s14 is sente of the r15 cut, so w can play it pretty soon. but not yet
]
;B[fh]
;W[gh]C[tas6466 [5k\]: this is ...interesting
Jermelle [?\]: he's using his m9 stone to the max
ZenMind [8k\]: o13 also protects n6 group 
lukep [5k\]: I almost think anohter hane
BeefSaku [1d\]: Yeah, it looks sente... S14 is huge
lukep [5k\]: g11
tas6466 [5k\]: c12 is getting huge too
]
;B[gg]
;W[ff]
;B[fi]C[BeefSaku [1d\]: If white C12, black just D11
Farlokko [12k\]: it's an impression or white is winning now?
]
;W[gi]C[tas6466 [5k\]: its close
Farlokko [12k\]: k9 start to be big
spacetime [4d\]: i think white has always been winning. but it was harder to see
tas6466 [5k\]: b still ahead i think though
Argus [-\]: w getting huge in center
BeefSaku [1d\]: Black has ~50 points, white maybe 35 plus much better prospects
BeefSaku [1d\]: I agree, I think white is ahead... so many huge moves for white
spacetime [4d\]: white has 40 in the upper side / center almost assured, probly ten in the lower left, plus komi
Argus [-\]: d2 is big
Farlokko [12k\]: problem is that w has a lot of big moves to attack
BeefSaku [1d\]: S14, G3 area, B7, the middle
spacetime [4d\]: i dont think these pushes starting with e13 are working out for b
BeefSaku [1d\]: k9 might even be enough
BeefSaku [1d\]: Yeah, this is not good for black
BeefSaku [1d\]: C9 stone is crappy
spacetime [4d\]: c9 is fine, w just gaining more from these exchanges than b imo
Argus [-\]: k10?
ZenMind [8k\]: I was looking at k10 too but it seems it will just solidify whites top. and any wall black gets is facing D4 group
Argus [-\]: w top is already solid
ZenMind [8k\]: Indeed
ZenMind [8k\]: enclose it I suppose is what I meant
]
;B[gj]
;W[hj]C[Farlokko [12k\]: if white plays k10 he has probably won
Farlokko [12k\]: G10 seems bad to me
wade [5d\]: it doesnt look good for ben... 
]
;B[hk]
;W[ij]C[ZenMind [8k\]: k10 would have been better than this at least
Farlokko [12k\]: why not?
eyesdown [1k\]: c6
BeefSaku [1d\]: With komi white has almost 60 points
Farlokko [12k\]: couldnt' black try after g10 h11 and j10?
]
;B[gp]C[Farlokko [12k\]: black is going to lose playing like this
Argus [-\]: b is not despereate, attacking c4 will help close up territory
]
;W[cm]C[eyesdown [1k\]: b is fine
Argus [-\]: i think so
eyesdown [1k\]: d2
CBlue [?\]: very close game now i think
Argus [-\]: maybe b8 before d2?
tas6466 [5k\]: within 5 points i think
CBlue [?\]: b17?
Farlokko [12k\]: isn't f7 bigger?
BeefSaku [1d\]: F7 is a 5 pt move
OneStone [6d\]: for some reason I wanna play k10 
CBlue [?\]: hm actually, d8 for b bigger than b17?
]
;B[jj]C[bert [2d?\]: i could only be guessing
ZenMind [8k\]: k10 at least gives aji to bring q 9 in
ZenMind [8k\]: haha
Farlokko [12k\]: here we are
ZenMind [8k\]: oh
Argus [-\]: nice move
]
;W[ik]C[BeefSaku [1d\]: B17 is ~20 points
BeefSaku [1d\]: Nice call OneStone

;B[jk]C[OneStone [6d\]: Well, I m not sure whether it is a good move. but B doesn't seem to be leading - tghis is an are where he can stir up loads of trouble.
ZenMind [8k\]: how is b17 worth that?
CBlue [?\]: wonder how b will handle w f10 after j8/k8
]
;W[gk]C[CBlue [?\]: oh did w need to play this boring move?

Farlokko [12k\]: l1 too
spacetime [4d\]: yea
Farlokko [12k\]: b17 is the best now
Farlokko [12k\]: probably
tonyho [1d\]: i prefer m11 first
spacetime [4d\]: the monkey jumps aren't sente for b to protect, so w will get at least one, wheras b17 is double sente
Farlokko [12k\]: if white doesn't lose sente is going to win easily
tonyho [1d\]: no
tonyho [1d\]: b17 then it is b's term
Nirvanc [2k\]: m1 then b17 ?

spacetime [4d\]: yea
spacetime [4d\]: d8 seems smaller
Farlokko [12k\]: is there any aji by c5?
BeefSaku [1d\]: no
USGO3 [-\]: The players were asked whether they would like to adjourn for lunch. Both want to play till the end.
cloudbrows [2k\]: Hard to enjoy your food with a close game nearing its finish.
Lsugyen [7d\]: it's not close
Lsugyen [7d\]: imho
BeefSaku [1d\]: I think black by 3-4 now
BeefSaku [1d\]: Though I would call that close
Lsugyen [7d\]: black has around 82
cloudbrows [2k\]: Fair point. Yuan Zhou would himself point out that for strong players even 3-4 is a pretty wide margin.
ArsenLapin [1d\]: what time is it there - at what time is the afternoon round?
Lsugyen [7d\]: not wide but definitely a comfortable lead
BeefSaku [1d\]: It's just after noon

Lsugyen [7d\]: black now has 81
Lsugyen [7d\]: now it's close
ArsenLapin [1d\]: isn't that why black didn't play K1 directly?
Lsugyen [7d\]: L19 is a nice move right now
BeefSaku [1d\]: Biggest on the board I think
Lsugyen [7d\]: sente too
BeefSaku [1d\]: Yeah
Lsugyen [7d\]: I think w can win this game now
Lsugyen [7d\]: w leading by 2

;B[oa]C[tas6466 [5k\]: mistake?
Lsugyen [7d\]: p19 was a nice move though

Lsugyen [7d\]: it may cause w the game!
USGO1 [-\]: b down to 4x40
Sent [2k\]: where should w have played instead?
Lsugyen [7d\]: a17 so w has a15 in reserve
USGO3 [-\]: 3 periods of 40 seconds left for Yuan.
USGO1 [-\]: b down to 3x40

;B[af]C[Nirvanc [2k\]: why not a 15 ?
Lsugyen [7d\]: but in this case it's the same since b answered at b14

Lsugyen [7d\]: but I would play a16

Lsugyen [7d\]: right?
Prime [-\]: 8d maybe
Lsugyen [7d\]: crazywind is only 8d
indianayk [5d?\]: s18?
Lsugyen [7d\]: so they are equal?
Prime [-\]: hmm... i dunno
Farlokko [12k\]: why s18?
Renjou [-\]: nah crazywind much stronger i think
spacetime [4d\]: why is s18 needed?
Lsugyen [7d\]: yeah
Lsugyen [7d\]: so 7d is about right
USGO3 [-\]: the game is over.
medical [2k\]: ok
medical [2k\]: thanks
