;B[fq]C[Horse [8k\]: both are 7d i think
pwnnuki [1d\]: thanks xed
OSDD [1k\]: I feel strange with q15, now black as many ko threats (with r16, r17 ...) even if it protects from q13 and prepare q12, I don't get it
ericosman [2k\]: wow i sure wish the little triangles worked for rolling the moves back and forward
pwnnuki [1d\]: have to view offline to go backwards
]
;W[hq]C[pwnnuki [1d\]: I am surprised b favored this approach over enclosing the lower right
pwnnuki [1d\]: hoping to get a kobayashi formation seems wishful with c13 low I don't think w would just c6

;B[lq]
;W[kp]C[ericosman [2k\]: maybe q15 is better than r16 as the way to capture the black stone because r15 gives black a q13 sente move while the q15 move does not ?

]
;B[jr]C[pwnnuki [1d\]: I think not giving the opponent a nice ponnuki at the start of the game is better
OSDD [1k\]: I wasn't thinking of r16 but s16, but yes q13 pb is still here, in another way, with q15 b has a good yose move with s16 (9-10 points)

;W[iq]C[duffman [1d\]: d6

duffman [1d\]: c11 weaken the top ondirectly

ericosman [2k\]: thanks !
ericosman [2k\]: in response to "now b got both" , w strengthed with c17 and also got in d9, so do we believe that is sufficient compensation for b getting both c18 and e12 ?
pwnnuki [1d\]: this wall seems in a particularly useless spot

pwnnuki [1d\]: seems solid
pwnnuki [1d\]: though to struggle over dame seems passive
duffman [1d\]: just to protect against cut
duffman [1d\]: now if i were white i'd cut immediately
Algohol [2k\]: cu where?
sinprejic [1d?\]: you would give up c15 stones.. maybe... hmm
JEGO [6k\]: difficult to cut now
Algohol [2k\]: ... or u give g12 on grand scale?
USGO1 [-\]: photos of all boards here https://www.facebook.com/AmericanGoAssociation

;B[ej]C[duffman [1d\]: thx for the photos :-)
duffman [1d\]: USGO4: How much time remaining?
xedover [?\]: they've been playing for an hour and a half, so there's still an hour and a half left... don't know who has more (and I doubt usgo4 is able to easily see the clock)

;W[di]
;B[dj]C[duffman [1d\]: USGO4 can walk :-)
sinprejic [1d?\]: USGO4 should not disturbe the players just so you can get a time check :)
duffman [1d\]: lol
Jermelle [?\]: *poke* "I know you're trying to become a pro, but this is important. How much time do you have left?"

pandaman [5d\]: gotta balance the attack and not get a weak group
alienist [5k\]: np-right?
sinprejic [1d?\]: j12 started a fight. Not sure why B wanted a fight.
pwnnuki [1d\]: I think w tried to get some advantage by finding a way to cleverly avoid answering e12 directly but it didn't work out at all
pwnnuki [1d\]: have to pull back you fist before you swing
