;B[fq]C[Kotomi [6d\]: :0 defended the lower stone
miao [6d\]: also interesting
Kotomi [6d\]: *reinforced
miao [6d\]: helping m6 group

Kotomi [6d\]: lol....

;B[qj]
;W[pi]
;B[qi]C[miao [6d\]: omg sorry i meant o11
USGO3 [-\]: after R11, Yongfei slammed the clock
]
;W[ph]C[miao [6d\]: no offense
USGO3 [-\]: Yongfei got up and walked away
USGO3 [-\]: Yongfei is at 1:37, and Bill is at 1:41
USGO3 [-\]: Bill points out the last move to Yongfei as he returns.
USGO3 [-\]: pro from board 1 is standing over the board, looking at the positions.
slang [5k\]: w is ahead?
Kotomi [6d\]: tough to say
Kotomi [6d\]: i think blacks ahead in points but i like whites positions more ^^
USGO3 [-\]: I think the air in the room is dry, as multiple players got up and went to get some more water.
Uberdude [4d?\]: l9 shuko style
]
;B[rq]C[Kotomi [6d\]: woah s3?
sdbg [4k?\]: lol
sdbg [4k?\]: b loves his edge game
Kotomi [6d\]: doesnt that seem a bit passive or too early?
USGO3 [-\]: I didn't expect that either.
goren2 [3k\]: surely w k10?
]
;W[hr]
;B[hs]
;W[is]
;B[gs]C[USGO3 [-\]: Bill goes to play K10...then stopped himself.
USGO3 [-\]: plays it anyway
goren2 [3k\]: remembered b8?
]
;W[jj]C[Uberdude [4d?\]: b seems to like yose
Uberdude [4d?\]: i like w's tneuki attitude 
Kotomi [6d\]: no goren2 j2 and b8 are too small
Kotomi [6d\]: cant be thinking about those rigt now
goren2 [3k\]: ok.  in that case, how deep should b go?  H10, or deeper?
sdbg [4k?\]: h10 looks deep enough
Kotomi [6d\]: hmm thats a tough one ^^ theres usually a saying if you invade someones moyo in a moyo game your usually chased back to your moyo only to get reduced more ^^....
USGO3 [-\]: For those who just joined us, we are currently watching Lin Tianyu 7d (W) vs Ge Yongfei 7d (B) on board 3 of the first round of 2012 US Open at US Go Congress in Black Mountain, NC. 
Kotomi [6d\]: so black wil probably have to attack carfully
sdbg [4k?\]: black doesnt have much of a moyo to speak of though
goren2 [3k\]: interesting - but isnt w moyo worth more to invade than losing the h15 moyo?
Kotomi [6d\]: possibly 
Kotomi [6d\]: i think its a good idea to invade im just not sure how i would do it 
goren2 [3k\]: ok.  tks for commentary btw
Kotomi [6d\]: no problem ^^
]
;B[dd]C[goren2 [3k\]: and now h11?
Kotomi [6d\]: heh... 
Kotomi [6d\]: white can ignore that i think
]
;W[fi]C[USGO3 [-\]: and he does
]
;B[ce]
;W[be]
;B[bl]C[Kotomi [6d\]: blacks playing really small moves and a lot of endgame moves (like uberdude said)
Kotomi [6d\]: well i guess i wouldnt say there all "small" but there all end game like moves
]
;W[cl]
;B[bk]
;W[ck]
;B[bj]C[goren2 [3k\]: close to endgame thouhg, no?  not too many fights happening anymore?
Kotomi [6d\]: yeah its a pretty peaceful game 
Kotomi [6d\]: but i dont think itll end as peaceful as it it is now
goren2 [3k\]: heh
Kotomi [6d\]: when i played yongfei my game was similar as this one and he did not give in no matter how big of a moyo i had XD
Uberdude [4d?\]: if w gote b will j2
goren2 [3k\]: b2 bigger for w tan say n11?
USGO3 [-\]: looks like white is thinking "tenuki"
Uberdude [4d?\]: n11 small
USGO3 [-\]: (he's not looking at the last move at all)
]
;W[mj]C[goren2 [3k\]: n10 i guess
Uberdude [4d?\]: try to avoid o10 peep
Uberdude [4d?\]: but with b m10
Uberdude [4d?\]: b might have tactics like j10
Uberdude [4d?\]: or h11
Uberdude [4d?\]: at a minimum b can force w to defend there
Uberdude [4d?\]: and seal his top side
goren2 [3k\]: j10 works even now right?
USGO3 [-\]: Bill stands up, walks over to board 2, to see how Andy Liu 1p is doing.
]
;B[dn]C[Kotomi [6d\]: hm that looks like a tough move to respond to
goren2 [3k\]: e7?
Kotomi [6d\]: if white defends e7 or d7 than the c10 cut works
Uberdude [4d?\]: b is nibbling away
Kotomi [6d\]: d7 c10 d10 d11 d12 d9 e11 e7 
Kotomi [6d\]: like that goren
Kotomi [6d\]: and if 
Kotomi [6d\]: e7 c10 d10 d11 d12 d9 e11 d7 
Kotomi [6d\]: for that way
]

;W[em]
;B[dl]
;W[el]
;B[dk]
;W[bi]C[goren2 [3k\]: so moyo reduction in progress.  this is nice to see.  I always lose by moyo 
]
;B[eo]
;W[fo]C[miao [6d\]: h10 is interesting
goren2 [3k\]: i was looking at g9
Kotomi [6d\]: h10 seems greedy XD
miao [6d\]: how to answer?
goren2 [3k\]: but probabbly g9 - f9?
Uberdude [4d?\]: thump in the face
Kotomi [6d\]: tea time~ switching connections

Kotomi [6d\]: XD 
goren2 [3k\]: ooo, nice
USGO3 [-\]: play is starting to get faster and faster.
Kotomi [6d\]: called it late
USGO3 [-\]: Bill used up 30 minutes so far, and I'm not sure how much time Yongfei has (can't see his clock)
Kotomi [6d\]: mm
]
;B[hg]
;W[hh]C[Kotomi [6d\]: white has a solid lead
USGO3 [-\]: (by the way, the rule setting should be AGA, with komi of 7.5)
]
;B[jb]
;W[kb]
;B[ib]C[goren2 [3k\]: hm, my counting sucks but I get about 70 points for both?
Uberdude [4d?\]: short game
]
;W[gg]
;B[hf]C[Kotomi [6d\]: yeah and suprisingly it was peacefultill the end
Kotomi [6d\]: i think white will wn by about 7-10 points
goren2 [3k\]: with s8 being like a very importnant move?
Kotomi [6d\]: s8 is big yes ^^

;W[oa]
;B[pa]
;W[ob]C[Kotomi [6d\]: ohhh p19 was a nice move 
Kotomi [6d\]: ill have to remember that one

USGO3 [-\]: see my info.
Kotomi [6d\]: ok thanks
USGO3 [-\]: next round will be tomorrow at 9 EST

;W[pk]C[goren2 [3k\]: s2 or s8?
]
;B[bc]
;W[bd]
;B[ej]C[Kotomi [6d\]: s8 after white does f10
]
;W[fj]C[Kotomi [6d\]: s2 is good but if black plays s8 white has to s7
Kotomi [6d\]: so black can get s8 and s2
goren2 [3k\]: got it
Kotomi [6d\]: if black plays s2 first white can take s8 first 
Kotomi [6d\]: l9

Kotomi [6d\]: s7 is around 8 points
Kotomi [6d\]: and s2 is um lets see
USGO3 [-\]: W looking to play S7, but stops himself
Kotomi [6d\]: yeah i think playing s7 is bigger than s2
]
;W[rm]C[goren2 [3k\]: what's your count kotomi?
Kotomi [6d\]: he was probably pondering over the same thing i was :P ill have to ask him when he gets back
Kotomi [6d\]: in terms of score?
