;W[np]C[USGO3 [-\]: Welcome folks.  This is round three of the 3rd AGA Pro Qualification Tournament.  
USGO3 [-\]: White is Daniel Gourdeau of Canada, black is Matthew Burrall of the US.
USGO3 [-\]: The game is taking place in the Minot Ballroom of the Nantasket Beach Resort, Hull, Massachusetts
USGO3 [-\]: Is is a sharp, cold, windy morning outside, with sun and fast moving white clouds.
USGO2 [-\]: "Ballroom" is coming it a little high, wouldn't you say?
USGO2 [-\]: lovely venue
USGO2 [-\]: it'd be a small dance floor though
USGO3 [-\]: Massachusetts Bay outside is dark blue and restless with frequent whitecaps.  Perhaps 4 or even 5 on the Beaufort Scale.
USGO3 [-\]: USGO2, the hotel  calls it a ballroom.  Who am I to argue?
]
;B[nn]
;W[pn]C[JeansebL [7d?\]: Go Daniel!!!!
JeansebL [7d?\]: Epic Cash Game Incoming
USGO3 [-\]: both players seem confident to this point. they are deep in thought.

;W[mc]
;B[dl]C[AshMash [5k\]: Will you tell us what they are wearing, please?
medical [2k\]: the setup looks unusual
]
;W[eo]C[USGO3 [-\]: These two player's styles seem as diffferent as their origins of Quebec and California.
Jagad [2d?\]: Daniel likes to play territorial games with white
medical [2k\]: f6 for the greed :)

]
;W[kd]
;B[je]
;W[ke]C[served [3d\]: the epic moyo was matt's strategy last game too
JeansebL [7d?\]: actually not clear the moyo is denied like this...this sequence is usually not good for white
JeansebL [7d?\]: I hope W has a plan

;W[dj]C[JeansebL [7d?\]: yeah I feel like j16 was overplay

]
;W[hp]C[MaLa [5d?\]: B has so many local threats^^
Timk [1d\]: isn't it a flower ko for W, anyway ?
USGO3 [-\]: black has 5 minutes remaining. white has 52
MaLa [5d?\]: it is not very flowerish, if you took away J18 from yourself earlier to get the ko
MaLa [5d?\]: but of course if he just plays on now, ignoring the ko for a while... things can become interesting

elianovici [4d\]: for b*
MaLa [5d?\]: is it?
MaLa [5d?\]: I would prefer B's position now compared to what he had before the D17 adventure
elianovici [4d\]: I don;t know.. i prefer w.. a lot more, imagine half of the center becoming terytory.. still close
MaLa [5d?\]: he was behind before, but now he has a clear target...
elianovici [4d\]: You have your point too, but moyo kind of playing is riskye
elianovici [4d\]: from my opinion:)
MaLa [5d?\]: I'm not saying he is not behind now ^^
]
;W[oc]C[elianovici [4d\]: yeah:)
MaLa [5d?\]: but at least now he knows where his chance lies
Jagad [2d?\]: Hard game for black in my opinion 
MaLa [5d?\]: while before he was just poking in the dark, looking where to find it
elianovici [4d\]: yes
Jagad [2d?\]: indeed but still 
]
;B[pb]
;W[ko]C[Jagad [2d?\]: It will be hard for black to win this

USGO3 [-\]: yes, also on board 2
]
;W[gn]
;B[gm]C[elianovici [4d\]: wonder why w didn;t played q18 .. or just let it like it was, what do you say MaLa? :)
USGO3 [-\]: the byo yomi is 5 periods of 40 seconds, as a reminder

RainierBob [?\]: I see elsewhere in AGA web article it's spelled with 1 r also
]
;B[mr]
;W[kq]
;B[ks]C[RainierBob [?\]:  And on Board 4 Daniel Gourdreau and Ricky Zhao’s even bigger and more complicated fight ended when Gourdeau used an attack on Zhao’s center group to cut off and kill another group. The Board 3 game between Ben Lockhart and Yuan Zhou was the last to finish and the only one to be counted. Observers thought Zhou had a small lead coming out of the middle game but he was short on time and Lockhart played a very sharp endgame to win by a comfortable 10.5 
USGO3 [-\]: white has 10 minutes on the clock
RainierBob [?\]: There's the quote -- you can see it's spelled both with 1 r and 2 r's

;W[nc]C[Juergonaut [4d\]: they use aga-japanese counting

;B[df]C[embeck [5k\]: o7 ko threat for B?
qp [8k?\]: i'm confused. what is aga-japanese?
JeansebL [7d?\]: ohhh. then it might be closer yeah, but no way it changes the score by more than 1 or 2 points...
USGO3 [-\]: AGA territory counting includes rules to make it equivalent to area counting
Jazzman [1d\]: it is like 1, 2, three...
]

USGO3 [-\]: also, white used one byo yomi period

Arcos [12k?\]: they're playing with 6.5 komi as I recal
odnihs [-\]: so b should win  think
odnihs [-\]: i think*
]
;W[]
;B[]
;W[]C[pank [2d\]: what is to pass a stzone?
USGO3 [-\]: they are counting
DonValley [5d\]: b win
modt: offitial result pls
odnihs [-\]: white has to play last
JeansebL [7d?\]: incredible, I was 100% sure w won. now I have no clue :p
pank [2d\]: it's half a point for b then
USGO3 [-\]: in aga rules each time a player passes he gives a stone
USGO3 [-\]: and white must pass last
vdust [-\]: Black filled the last dame, so he has to give a point to lack
JeansebL [7d?\]: probably black wins :(
vdust [-\]: black*
pank [2d\]: only because of this weird rule 
odnihs [-\]: 1.5
Borachon [3k\]: makes scoring equivalent to japanese counting
vdust [-\]: It's a fair rule, due to the 7.5 komi
Borachon [3k\]: so that chinese counting and japanese counting always give same result
JeansebL [7d?\]: pank, I counted in japanese, and black wins
vdust [-\]: because area counting and territory counting would not be aquivalent enymore
spacetime [4d\]: the 7.5 vs 6.5 is separate from pass stone
Bahji [4k\]: Yes I'm confused to this rule as well. Could someone explain
zhou901108 [2d\]: seki life
vdust [-\]: equivalent*
spacetime [4d\]: it's just that aga does 7.5, who knows why
Jazzman [1d\]: so, official result?
odnihs [-\]: to make chinese and japanese the same
USGO3 [-\]: still counting
pank [2d\]: if you count japanese with 7.5 komi it's w winning by 0.5 i think
odnihs [-\]: except japanese is 6.5 ~_~
spacetime [4d\]: they are only equivalent if both players played the same number of moves, otherwise could be off by 1, so pass stone corrects that
USGO3 [-\]: players and KGS agree: black by 1.5
Jazzman [1d\]: :-)
elguapo [-\]: thanks usgo3
Arcos [12k?\]: gg 
Jazzman [1d\]: thx for broadcasting
JeansebL [7d?\]: damn
odnihs [-\]: gg
