mkeller [1d\]: r8?
]
;B[ql]C[mkeller [1d\]: booyah!
OneStone [6d\]: W s7 r4 q5 s6 would work
goodminton [-\]: wasnt simply s7 better

OneStone [6d\]: but now s7 q8 s6 q9 r10 p10 is possible
spacetime [4d\]: or wait can't he still play s7 now?
mkeller [1d\]: q8 for b if s7?
served [3d\]: yeah, Q8 and black can run to the middle
USGO2 [-\]: w tsks again
mkeller [1d\]: looks like a nice ko for b

USGO2 [-\]: annoyance?  dismay?
szaloony [3k\]: yeah watch their ears
goodminton [-\]: head banging ^^
spacetime [4d\]: he realizes he should have just clamped and now W can play s7?
LostSoul [1k\]: feeling pressure
Lice [6d\]: no billin this year?
goodminton [-\]: i had preferred s7 r8 t8 and options either up or down
USGO2 [-\]: Lice: i know, i'm sad! :(  don't know why though
Lice [6d\]: he almost won last year :(
goodminton [-\]: let's give him a moan
USGO2 [-\]: Ryan pops up again to go look at other games
absurdmike [2k\]: heh

nhanh [2d\]: good that w has O17 :)
mkeller [1d\]: and b made a nice dent in it
USGO2 [-\]: both players sizing up the whole board
