USGO2 [-\]: I'm Andrew Jackson, your recorder for the morning
USGO2 [-\]: 9:19 and the room has a single player in it;
USGO2 [-\]: which concerns exactly nobody: with the weather at a brisk 15F outside, the players are not far away...
USGO2 [-\]: Ok, everyone's hear and seated
USGO2 [-\]: we're nigiri'ing for color
USGO2 [-\]: Jeremy chooses even
USGO2 [-\]: but it's odd
USGO2 [-\]: Ben has won every nigiri this tournament
USGO2 [-\]: he chooses white
USGO2 [-\]: Tournament room is much warmer this morning

USGO2 [-\]: b scans the whole board.
pwnnuki [1d\]: cover at m10 or connect p6? either of these seem good?
martin97 [-\]: b ahead a bit i think, t18 is huge endgame

USGO2 [-\]: w presumably ~40?
]
;B[bo]C[martin97 [-\]: nice move again
martin97 [-\]: b is good at this kind of moves i think ?
pwnnuki [1d\]: b trying to steal points before take care of g12? I feel like that's unfinished business
]
;W[bq]C[USGO2 [-\]: ben sighs and mutters "yeah" as he plays b3
USGO2 [-\]: he has 43 minutes left
pwnnuki [1d\]: I would have a hard time resisting aiming for that b string, taking corner is "just points" not life and death situation
pwnnuki [1d\]: but, this is why I am 1d I guess
spacetime [4d\]: seems pretty even
]
;B[co]C[USGO2 [-\]: what's your count?
pwnnuki [1d\]: this HAS to be small or I quit playing go

USGO2 [-\]: jeremy ready with J11
]
;W[jl]C[GodofGo [6d\]: it wasn't really ben's decision unless b didn't play and w played b6
spacetime [4d\]: I think W is a bit ahead actually. about 51 for each on the board, and W could gain more from this attack
GodofGo [6d\]: i prefer w now
Warfreak2 [4d\]: super ben
spacetime [4d\]: yea, W seems comfortable
pwnnuki [1d\]: GodofGo wouldn't value of w b6 be low after he answered at b3? seems that the area cooled after than exchange
USGO2 [-\]: b crosses 5 minutes
GodofGo [6d\]: yea it is lower but still quite big
