This is round 5, board 2.  I'm Chris Burg, your game recorder this morning.
geyingbin [1d\]: interesting both are 1p
geyingbin [1d\]: are they really professioanl 1p?
eisenberg [8k\]: hello 
USGO2 [-\]: Play begins with a mutual bow as Mingming starts the clock.
]RE[B+Resign]
;B[cp]C[geyingbin [1d\]: who saw the nutual bow?
]
;W[pp]
;B[dd]C[geyingbin [1d\]: the clock is not clicking
geyingbin [1d\]: anyone noticed?
USGO2 [-\]: The clock here would not accurately reflect the live clock due to recording delays.
]
;W[eq]C[geyingbin [1d\]: Thank you USGO2
]
;B[ip]
;W[en]
;B[cn]
;W[kq]C[sasasdd: who is leading in the tournament
]
;B[dq]C[geyingbin [1d\]: not me
USGO2 [-\]: The crosstab for the US Open  can be found at http://usgo.org/tournaments/crosstab/band-matrix/102
sasasdd: thx
]
;W[ep]C[USGO2 [-\]: After her play, Mingming stands up and crosses the room, heading for the coffee.
]
;B[jo]C[geyingbin [1d\]: “Stephanie” Ming-Ming Yin (l), a Chinese 1P who is also an Adelphi University freshman business major. Yin, who studied go with Nie -Wei-Ping, is the New York Go Center’s new “club pro.
USGO2 [-\]: There is apparently tea over there as well; she returns with a cup of it.
kerf [2k\]: where is the NY Go center meeting now?
MiaiPie [?\]: interesting top right hasn't been secured
kerf [2k\]: no answer?  
geyingbin [1d\]: new york I'd say
epion003 [?\]: does the new york Go center have a new location now..?
]
;W[ir]
;B[qd]C[kerf [2k\]: building was closed.  If it doesn't meet somewhere, it's a funny kind of club
geyingbin [1d\]: I like to play Black
]
;W[oc]
;B[kc]C[epion003 [?\]: ooo just was wondering since geyingbin mentioned new club pro... for new york go center
]
;W[fc]C[geyingbin [1d\]: White is flat at bottom
]
;B[ec]
;W[fd]
;B[df]C[geyingbin [1d\]: who's ooo?
MiaiPie [?\]: Does 7.5 komi provide a 50/50 %?
kerf [2k\]: that's why I asked too, it's strange to call someone a club pro, unless the club meets somewhere
SergeyASh [9k\]: Which table on back (with little boy)?
USGO2 [-\]: Zi Yang splits his attention between the board and the rest of the room.  One gets the sense that he is still considering his options even while looking away as he will sometimes play almost without looking at the board.

;W[ic]
;B[ke]
;W[ie]C[geyingbin [1d\]: because Zi is leading

MiaiPie [?\]: too early
MiaiPie [?\]: imho
MiaiPie [?\]: ^.^
teach [3d\]: go go ming ming
USGO2 [-\]: Mingming idly opens and closes a paper fan.
geyingbin [1d\]: I'd use a plastic fan, just to be different
MiaiPie [?\]: it wouldn't be very effective
]
;B[ne]
;W[oe]
;B[qc]C[geyingbin [1d\]: B is attacking
geyingbin [1d\]: effectively
PeiPei15 [?\]: How old is Zi Yang hu?
geyingbin [1d\]: 14-18 i guess
MiaiPie [?\]: I'd be tappin my fan on the go bowl...
teach [3d\]: p15 ? really ?
USGO2 [-\]: I believe Zi Yang is 13.
teach [3d\]: not a typo ?
geyingbin [1d\]: wow
geyingbin [1d\]: he's young
geyingbin [1d\]: and wining
geyingbin [1d\]: imho
artem777: o16?
geyingbin [1d\]: bad
PeiPei15 [?\]: yes he seems to be really young^^I can only see his backside in the livestream ;D
geyingbin [1d\]: o16 is extremely bad
geyingbin [1d\]: imho
artem777: N 16?
KokonoeRin [-\]: where is live stream?
USGO2 [-\]: He's been doing very well this year.  He has only yielded a single loss to Yongfei Ge in the US Open.  He returned the blow last night in the North American Masters.
MiaiPie [?\]: Unless theres another Zi Yang Yu, sensei's library says he was born in 1997 or 1998
MiaiPie [?\]: Hu*
USGO2 [-\]: The live stream is reportedly experiencing some problems, but should still be viewable.  The link for today is http://eurogotv.com/ and follow the US link.

;W[nf]C[geyingbin [1d\]: P15 was to exert pressure on o15
geyingbin [1d\]: but it looks ugly
geyingbin [1d\]: imho
]
;B[mf]C[pkunzip [3d\]: :)
teach [3d\]: o12
geyingbin [1d\]: N17
geyingbin [1d\]: N17 aims to connect or capture O15
teach [3d\]: no comment
geyingbin [1d\]: white is consider N15
pkunzip [3d\]: i think W want n13 but need do something
geyingbin [1d\]: I'd say N15 or N17
pkunzip [3d\]: B O13 ,W hurt.
geyingbin [1d\]: no it's a light ko for W
]
;W[nd]
;B[me]
;W[nh]
;B[lh]C[geyingbin [1d\]: O16 is bad
geyingbin [1d\]: help B shape well
geyingbin [1d\]: imho
USGO2 [-\]: Mingming drops her O16 stone and it skitters across the center of the board harmlessly.
geyingbin [1d\]: she is nervous
USGO2 [-\]: If she is, she is hiding it well.  Her hand is steady.
]
;W[nj]C[teach [3d\]: o12 common sabaki suji, 1d guys well advised to learn
teach [3d\]: :)
MiaiPie [?\]: I sense oxymoron
MiaiPie [?\]: Steady hand drops stone >:O
pkunzip [3d\]: help K5 stones
kaketoe [11k\]: she dropped a stone in her match vs daniel as well
]
;B[lj]C[geyingbin [1d\]: B ocupied 3 corners and keeps attacking
]
;W[qi]C[MiaiPie [?\]: at least he doesn't have 4
MiaiPie [?\]: otherwise he'd have to resign
USGO2 [-\]: Mingming takes an opportunity to get a fresh cup of tea after playing her move.
geyingbin [1d\]: this is the 2nd tea within 10 minutes
USGO2 [-\]: She has actually used over 25 minutes of her clock.
geyingbin [1d\]: Thanks Chris
]
;B[qn]C[geyingbin [1d\]: White barely settles
crys [?\]: o3
geyingbin [1d\]: bad
talife [14k?\]: in that case, is a pincer around R8 any good?
talife [14k?\]: because it would halp the upper right group also, no?
]
;W[on]C[MiaiPie [?\]: P6 is aggresive, no?
geyingbin [1d\]: yes
geyingbin [1d\]: W aims to attack bottom 2 stones
MiaiPie [?\]: That would require a L7 or L8 from white
MiaiPie [?\]: to keep the two groups seperated
]
;B[rp]
;W[qq]
;B[qk]C[USGO2 [-\]: Mingming places a handful of stones on the table.  She tumbles two of them over each other with one hand.
teach [3d\]: q13
USGO2 [-\]: She trades them for a new handful of stones, which she also returns to the bowl.
USGO2 [-\]: Zi Yang stands up and leaves the room.
crys [?\]: )
]
;W[rl]C[teach [3d\]: more sabaki
USGO2 [-\]: Mingming takes a jaunt over to board 3 while she waits for Zi Yang's return.
teach [3d\]: a jaunt?
USGO2 [-\]: Zi Yang reenters the room and and retakes his seat.  Mingming is watching board 1 now.
geyingbin [1d\]: both 1p have had 1 loss already
USGO2 [-\]: Both of those losses were to Yongfei Ge.
geyingbin [1d\]: amature 7d are oftenstronger than 1p
]
;B[rk]C[geyingbin [1d\]: R7
]
;W[rn]C[teach [3d\]: maybe push and cut r14 s13 to clean up the shape
]
;B[ql]C[geyingbin [1d\]: R5
geyingbin [1d\]: to keep the corner imho
teach [3d\]: w profit grab here seems ill advised
farmer [4d\]: s7
whatwhat [1k\]: bull hocky.. B dive in.. must punish...
teach [3d\]: doesn't even really work
geyingbin [1d\]: S7 then R5
geyingbin [1d\]: B captures W
USGO2 [-\]: Mingming raises a stone into the air, then stops and replaces it in the bowl.
teach [3d\]: come on ming ming, wake up
geyingbin [1d\]: She had 2 teas
USGO2 [-\]: Indeed, she has either finished or nearly finished the second cup at this point.
teach [3d\]: needs a stronger brew
pkunzip [3d\]: s7,W r5 ,B bad

;B[pn]

]
;B[oj]
;W[ok]
;B[ph]C[geyingbin [1d\]: again, P15 was badmove
pkunzip [3d\]: p13, W hurt, hard for White
USGO2 [-\]: Zi Yang is devoting a much larger portion of his time to looking at the board now.

;W[ng]
;B[lp]C[geyingbin [1d\]: M4 is aggressive
geyingbin [1d\]: L4 L5 M5
BigStan [1d\]: w wust protect o8 now
geyingbin [1d\]: O8 then White O9
]
;W[lk]C[pkunzip [3d\]: M4 overplay
donkeyO [8d?\]: so many strong kibitzers
geyingbin [1d\]: are u being sarcastic?
teach [3d\]: rofl
geyingbin [1d\]: I think being sarcastic is one of human rights
geyingbin [1d\]: M3
geyingbin [1d\]: is the strongest move imho
teach [3d\]: fighting spirit obliges
farmer [4d\]: even b wants to play m3, L9 first
pkunzip [3d\]: L3 useless stones, it is not time to mve M3 now

USGO2 [-\]: Zi Yang stands up and leaves the room, pausing briefly at board 3.
teach [3d\]: L9
teach [3d\]: power balanle shift
teach [3d\]: or balance
geyingbin [1d\]: L9 is slow
]
;W[kj]C[teach [3d\]: slow like python squeeze
geyingbin [1d\]: slow like turtle squeeze
geyingbin [1d\]: L10 exerts pressure; L9 not
USGO2 [-\]: Zi Yang returns and Mingming points out her move.
]
;B[ki]C[geyingbin [1d\]: Ming was nice
geyingbin [1d\]: I'd pretend I haven't played yet
USGO2 [-\]: It is fairly rare that a player does not indicate a move played while the opponent was away from the board.
]
;W[jj]
;B[ih]C[geyingbin [1d\]: getting away from board was Zi Yang's choice; I assume he'd take the risk of losing clock time
geyingbin [1d\]: O3
]
;W[fg]
;B[hi]
;W[dh]C[Pyv [4d?\]: cut?
geyingbin [1d\]: I can't believe W did not play O3 and attack
teach [3d\]: green tea has kicked in, I guess
USGO2 [-\]: Mingming takes her cup, but leaves the room instead of heading back over to the tea.
geyingbin [1d\]: When both B groups settle, W lose.
USGO2 [-\]: Mingming has 1 hour and 7 minutes of main time remaining.  Zi Yang still has 1 hour and 22 minutes.
teach [3d\]: w in much better shape now that she has turned the corner on the center group
USGO2 [-\]: She returns, having fetched another tea from outside the room.
