tas6466 [5k\]: i feel dogbert should be a pro at go, he is a pro at manipulation
dogbert [3d\]: J14 next?
rinkaio [1k\]: I would say the same dog but it seems a bit slow maybe
dogbert [3d\]: dogbert should run for us president, colbert be my running mate
]
;B[jf]C[dogbert [3d\]: close
rinkaio [1k\]: less slow :)
ajahuang [6d\]: +1 dogbert
tas6466 [5k\]: dogbert would be a terrible president... maybe a good dictator though

rinkaio [1k\]: he would held Idiotbot as professionnal go player
dogbert [3d\]: how is UK  treating you, ajahuang, or you are in taiwan actually? it is -30/-40 in Edmonton right now

Ootakamoku [2d\]: f17 f18 f15 e15 g16 e16 e14 
G361 [?\]: o15
Ootakamoku [2d\]: ugly cut
Lestat [2d\]: indeed
humblelife [-\]: i don't think b is in a hurry to take itsince w f15 is even uglier
efren: o15 seems a must for w, but b takes sente q5 ?
Lestat [2d\]: so d16 is big
Ootakamoku [2d\]: difficult to find a mvoe, w has k18 for later, but it only makes sense if corner is blocked so b cant escape there
Ootakamoku [2d\]: yet if block corner b gets attack on m15
Tasky [3d\]: I think f17 can be met by e16 
Ootakamoku [2d\]: considering w has k18, maybe w could play f11 here
Ootakamoku [2d\]: its not like b hwants to pursue o15 while burdened by k18 cut
Ootakamoku [2d\]: e16 response is funny one to f17, but it does seem to work
Ootakamoku [2d\]: w q18

;W[lf]C[efren: isnt it desperate at this point ?
Ootakamoku [2d\]: bottom left is still open for invasion
FoH [-\]: w need successfull deep invasion
DJhGO [3k\]: but black's thickness is pretty okay
FoH [-\]: his okay thickness can be reduced in some right moves)
efren: okay against right seems a fair fight
