C[tuerda [1d\]: very awkward shape for w
];B[kf];W[lg]
C[tuerda [1d\]: b mushy shape too though
tuerda [1d\]: everything full of cutting points

;B[kg];W[lh];B[kd];W[jc]
C[Xuefen Lin 1P: B made a big moyo on the left and W has a big territory on the right. OK for both. Interesting opening for W; W's area looks huge, but there's a lot of aji. ]
(;B[mn]
C[Xuefen Lin 1P: this is very difficult; B can start with a probe at A (see var) but even so, it's really hard for B to break out. So maybe best to prepare moves on the outside first.


jagtigren [12k\]: hey does any one know where there is a tournament tree for this?

C[gigo [6k\]: ohhh are those games in CO?
];B[jm]
C[Xuefen Lin 1P: This looks pretty good for W; big and well-secured territory for W and B's moyo is easily invaded. W should win easily, but later on in the game, he makes several mistakes and lost. (end of commentary)]

tomys [1d\]: H5
nordlab [-\]: oh, nm, it's not dead
tomys [1d\]: F9 first
nordlab [-\]: and I think it is gg if this dies
nordlab [-\]: ok...
nordlab [-\]: I think black's plan is to grab a free move to affect the L5 aji...

C[miammiam [2d\]: for me, E2 is dead, but this is ok.
nordlab [-\]: I don't think it's ok... I think it'd be game over
miammiam [2d\]: well, n4 is dead. huge side there
miammiam [2d\]: larger than C7/S3 side
nordlab [-\]: and white still has problems at D12
miammiam [2d\]: D12 will be small life, i agree
ggggggg [5k\]: d12 might even cost in order to make small life
nordlab [-\]: then count up the points... I favor black in that scenario
miammiam [2d\]: could be moyo in G14
nordlab [-\]: doubt it
pinpingho [-\]: well w get about 60 there but that's all w get if w die there b is having more than 40 for that single corner
nordlab [-\]: agreed
miammiam [2d\]: L2 / F9 / F14 for white and fair game
miammiam [2d\]: K8 aji could also result in something
