;B[qo]C[manestor [7k\]: to complicated for me
Violence [?\]: This is joseki.

;W[pr]
;B[ql]
;W[de]C[Violence [?\]: quite a simple one, actually
manestor [7k\]: jus wierd
bfm [-\]: white gets a big corner...
Violence [?\]: corner's not that big
Violence [?\]: and black got to play both sides, it's even.
hyakkivn [?\]: there's nothing to discuss right now
manestor [7k\]: of course there is
]
;B[cg]C[manestor [7k\]: what about q15?
bfm [-\]: what's wrong ? :s
manestor [7k\]: shouldn't it's influence be directed along the right side?
manestor [7k\]: i don't know
Violence [?\]: It's just white's style to take two Takamoku
]

Violence [?\]: um... E14 is a regular joseki.
]
;B[fc]C[bfm [-\]: black can force white in bad shape, E14 was joseki but isn't anymore
Violence [?\]: eh? isn't black supposed to F15?
USGO3 [-\]: The times as shown are incorrect.  Each player has 2 hors main time, and 5 byo-yomi periods of 30 second each...
USGO3 [-\]: *hours
bfm [-\]: I don't think white can cut black
