FuzzFace [1k\]: i went down to a crossroads
mkeller [1k\]: go yuhan!
uurtamo [-\]: it looks like 3 out of 5 women are still undefeated?

;B[fc]C[sfghdsfh: i europe, there are few very strong women

USGO1 [-\]: Welcome to Round 5 of the US Go Congress in Tacoma Washington
]
;B[jd]C[mito [2d?\]: If there are only six rounds to play there will be many players with a score of 6-0 as it seems (by looking at the crosstab). How do they determine the winner of the tournament?
sfghdsfh: SOS, isnt it?
uurtamo [-\]: SODOS then SOS, right?
aristokrat [1d\]: mcmahon maybe?
USGO1 [-\]: they are in different bands
uurtamo [-\]: SOS isn't all that exciting until it's a tiebreaker for SODOS
Herod [-\]: They are divided into bands of similar ranks.  The top band determines the US Open champion
USGO1 [-\]: sort by player and you can almost see the band breaks
hinge: i see there are 20 players with a 4-0 record in the us open. but i also see that at least one has won all of their games by 260 - 270 points!! what's up with that?
Herod [-\]: Those are the ID numbers of their opponents, not the scores

USGO1 [-\]: Peilun slaps a stone down at c12, but changes his mind before he lets go
oliolioli [4k\]: :)
USGO1 [-\]: He takes another stone out of the bowl and reaches in that direction again, but again pulls back

Oceansea [4k\]: did they really start with 2 hours of playing time?
zaboomafoo [3k\]: b has most potential
tywin [2d?\]: Yep. Standard US Open timing for the high dan brackets.
noi [6k\]: what's standard for ddk games?
tywin [2d?\]: 60-90 minutes? I don't remember offhand.
zaboomafoo [3k\]: I thought the times dispayed were accurate
USGO1 [-\]: Peilun checks his opponents clock
zaboomafoo [3k\]: maybe wrong
USGO1 [-\]: w: 1:40; b: 1:43
USGO1 [-\]: he steps away from the table while Yuhan is thinking
noi [6k\]: seems odd to blast through this many moves this quickly in a game with such generous times
zaboomafoo [3k\]: pretty straightforward ideas so far, not any real fighting yet
]
;W[cf]C[USGO1 [-\]: BAM!
]
;B[cb]C[USGO1 [-\]: Peilun slams that one down hard
USGO1 [-\]: (so hard, I typed it for the wrong move)
herissondu [2d\]: that means it's a good move
oliolioli [4k\]: looks good
crouton [2d?\]: any aga rule which says you can't slam stones?
zum [3d?\]: aga says no slamming more than 100db
vitamancy [7k\]: There should be a little cracked-stone marker to indicate the move was slammed down.
]
;W[db]C[zum [3d?\]: they should play with pressure sensitive stones
herissondu [2d\]: that would be an awesome feature
manofearth [?\]: informal speed chess "rule" is that all is allowed while UR clock runs
zum [3d?\]: lotta materials change color under pressure
]
;B[cd]C[USGO1 [-\]: He suck air through his teeth as he plays this move
USGO1 [-\]: *sucks
zum [3d?\]: does aga allow breathing?
vitamancy [7k\]: That's an impolite way to talk about the players USGO.  :)
zaboomafoo [3k\]: lol
killrbunny [2k\]: Is this a known line?
tywin [2d?\]: Doubtful.
killrbunny [2k\]: the b14,c18 combination looks familiar...
USGO1 [-\]: Peilun only lost this week was against Calvin Sun, who also has only one loss against Yuhan yesterday
]
;W[be]C[USGO1 [-\]: Peilun had just step away from the table moments ago, now we wait for his return
USGO1 [-\]: *stepped

FirePrince [-\]: xD
zum [3d?\]: he spilled the coffee on the goban
Muttley [2k\]: well, you wanted drama :)
zum [3d?\]: Yuhan doesnt like it... he pulled out his sword
vitamancy [7k\]: For drama, refer to the coffee as a "performance inhancing drug"

Muttley [2k\]: Suddenly, the donut that sat innocently beside the coffee, a mere bystander in this drama of life, was cut in two as the air whistled from Yuhan's side of the board
Muttley [2k\]: "Go is about sharing", muttered Yuhan.
vitamancy [7k\]: :)
Stim [9k\]: if b played p18 instead of q18
zum [3d?\]: premature ko
vitamancy [7k\]: It takes two donuts to make life.
zaboomafoo [3k\]: didn't d17 only work?
]
;B[dd]
;W[ef]C[tywin [2d?\]: Actually, for those of us with a coffee habit, the mere scent is often enough to get the brain working in the mornings.
zaboomafoo [3k\]: since ladder was to b and geta too slow
gentoo [-\]: but decaf just isn't enough
Muttley [2k\]: "have it all" said Peilun as he produced a bagel from his sock.

vitamancy [7k\]: What is the clue to tenuki in a position like this?
vitamancy [7k\]: the upper left feels so unsettled to me.

Wagaboo [2k\]: Oo

;B[qd]C[noi [6k\]: go is not about sharing the donut. it is about negotiation with a view to swindling the larger portion of donut out of your opponents hand
]
;W[pa]C[zaboomafoo [3k\]: it just outright swindling it with good moves
]
;B[oj]C[USGO1 [-\]: clack!
gentoo [-\]: or at least the half with more sprinkles
vitamancy [7k\]: "clack" = "MY donut".
noi [6k\]: the best swindles are the ones where the mark not only thinks he is getting the better part of the deal but is of the opinion that it was his idea in the first place
manofearth [?\]: if he sees    ur swindle U endup with a smaller piece, if that much

rayquaza [5d\]: g14 is also big
ratsbag333: then w has to s10 ill have a look
USGO1 [-\]: Peilun is fidgity in his seat as he examines various parts of the board

;B[sp]C[USGO1 [-\]: thwack
claytor [5k\]: hmm
killrbunny [2k\]: tenuki!
tywin [2d?\]: Time?
claytor [5k\]: b looking at s8?
ratsbag333: no b wins semeai
kualai: is any of those players on KGS?
USGO1 [-\]: Yuhan remains calm, but almost always leaning over the board
killrbunny [2k\]: which is bigger, g14 or t6?
hahrh: t6
USGO1 [-\]: Peilun taps his fingers lightly on the edge of the table
claytor [5k\]: excellent comentary usgo1!
]
;W[sn]C[rayquaza [5d\]: yes, almost as good as a live camera
blurb1: i wonder why w never played at the bottom is he saying bottom so small dont want to reduce?
rayquaza [5d\]: bottom is too open to make territory easily
rayquaza [5d\]: j2 is hard for b and w
tywin [2d?\]: W did play at the bottom, blurb. That's what j2 is for.
claytor [5k\]: how would w answer b s8?
rayquaza [5d\]: q9
tywin [2d?\]: Which is currently less effective than it was previously.
claytor [5k\]: then b has s7 and s10 to spoil w shape?
]
;B[jr]C[USGO1 [-\]: BAM!
rayquaza [5d\]: no, its unkillable
rayquaza [5d\]: wow
kualai: haha my move :D

;W[js]C[spacetime [3d\]: w seems comfortably ahead
tywin [2d?\]: Of course. He's playing the board, not the player... and he doesn't have anything to fear on that score.
spacetime [3d\]: looks like us open may have a new champion

;B[hq]
;W[fr]C[zyklop [1k\]: will we see a ponnuki dy?
]
;B[lq]C[USGO1 [-\]: another loud thwack
tywin [2d?\]: Well, maybe a little fear. But still, dramatic stone-slamming just gets an eye roll.
Danika [2d\]: B win.
blurb1: lol
Danika [2d\]: LoL
]
;W[pq]C[kualai: what if b kills ponnuki?
spacetime [3d\]: even if w has to play ko with h1, i think he still is ahead
USGO1 [-\]: and a loud thwack from white now
LarryG [3d\]: too sharp!!!
NominRamen [7k?\]: it's okay, he thwacked it
kualai: USGO1 == pro commentator

;B[qq]C[Fredda [-\]: what a move
USGO1 [-\]: very gently placed on the board
NominRamen [7k?\]: sneaky
killrbunny [2k\]: w will live on the bottom
NominRamen [7k?\]: he's hoping his opponent wont notice that he played that one
NominRamen [7k?\]: and will soon follow up with a thwacking move
USGO1 [-\]: he checks the clock.. w:17  b:31

;B[mr]C[USGO1 [-\]: bam

;W[nr]C[killrbunny [2k\]: tricky
killrbunny [2k\]: offering to kill the corner?
kualai: o3 
Ootakamoku [2d\]: offering to live somewhere, somehow, more like
Fredda [-\]: o3 n4 m2 q2 is annoying
Ootakamoku [2d\]: o3 m2 n4 l3 for example
NominRamen [7k?\]: to get more americans interested in the game, we should ingrain little pop rocks fireworks on the board such that authoritative snaps are accompanied by a brief display of sparks and potential personal injury.
Potter117 [9k\]: excellent idea
rayquaza [5d\]: the personal injury part seems counterintuitive given your goal of getting people "interested"
NominRamen [7k?\]: you must not be american
Ootakamoku [2d\]: we didnt talk about killing em
rayquaza [5d\]: ah
gentoo [-\]: personal injury is an idea i can get behind
YellowBell [6d\]: lol nomin sounds like another go website that i know of :O
rayquaza [5d\]: I now understand, you're appealing to the classic american's masochistic tendencies
rayquaza [5d\]: in that case, excellent idea, sir
Potter117 [9k\]: risk of personal injury increases the value as a spectator sport
Potter117 [9k\]: :p
NominRamen [7k?\]: ^_^
rayquaza [5d\]: potential for riots is why I watch sports
rayquaza [5d\]: nothing better than a good, old-fashioned stadium brawl
killrbunny [2k\]: will w have to play ko at h1?
killrbunny [2k\]: lotsa local threats if the starts now
Ootakamoku [2d\]: naa, looks like w will get something here one way or another, without having to resort to h1
killrbunny [2k\]: he can live by force?
selpahi [1k\]: w seems way ahead to me
YellowBell [6d\]: or kill something bigger killrbunny
kualai: bigger like r3 ?
YellowBell [6d\]: as fredda variation earlier : o3 n4 m2 q2 
Ootakamoku [2d\]: problem for b is probably that he cannot afford w have anything here
]
;B[nq]
;W[mp]
;B[lr]C[rayquaza [5d\]: I doubt q2 will work for w
Ootakamoku [2d\]: m4 maybe?
YellowBell [6d\]: q2 looks like the only move
rayquaza [5d\]: then w will have to resort to ko
]
;W[pr]
;B[oo]C[Ootakamoku [2d\]: ray, sure, but its heavier ko, than playing h1 directly
Ootakamoku [2d\]: heaver for b that is
YellowBell [6d\]: p2
Ootakamoku [2d\]: p2 o4 
rayquaza [5d\]: yes
rayquaza [5d\]: o4 works
Potter117 [9k\]: what about just q4 now?
rayquaza [5d\]: p4?
YellowBell [6d\]: what about
rayquaza [5d\]: q4, then w dead
YellowBell [6d\]: p4 o4 o5 q4 p2 m4 
YellowBell [6d\]: ^^
YellowBell [6d\]: than ladder doesnt work and black lacks liberties
YellowBell [6d\]: :)
rayquaza [5d\]: yes
rayquaza [5d\]: but, if p4 then p2
usgc8: just p2 could capture as well
YellowBell [6d\]: p4 p2 o4 o1 q4 q5 o6 
ligo [4k\]: q4
usgc8: p2, o4, o5, p4, m4, l4
YellowBell [6d\]: i dont think that works in blacks favor rayquaza
usgc8: then, l5 will kill it
YellowBell [6d\]: not at all...
FuzzFace [1k\]: should i kill or should i live ? 
rayquaza [5d\]: ok, no liberties for b
usgc8: p2 works nicely?
YellowBell [6d\]: no usgc8 because of o4 but white can play p4 first

rayquaza [5d\]: s8
rayquaza [5d\]: right side is dead
LarryG [3d\]: time to resign:)
rayquaza [5d\]: hardly
globax [3d\]: o6 first, then s8

rayquaza [5d\]: why not?
YellowBell [6d\]: p5 has to get out of danger first
Ootakamoku [2d\]: s8 s9 q9 t8 q7 s7 q8 t10?
rayquaza [5d\]: yeah, but o6 sente
rayquaza [5d\]: black can capture o5 sente
rayquaza [5d\]: or maybe not, but still save p5 in sente
YellowBell [6d\]: also
YellowBell [6d\]: s8 s9 q9 t8 s7 q7 t11 t10 is ko btw

YellowBell [6d\]: i would agree ootaka normally butwiththeamount of time he has onthe clock...
YellowBell [6d\]: otherwise this move was played a bit to fast and shoudl have took a little more time to read
YellowBell [6d\]: though i think it works (imho) just that its scary if its wrong xD
]
;B[bk]C[rayquaza [5d\]: b wants g14
Ootakamoku [2d\]: some playrs I know, they have tendency to indicate annoyance with how hard they hit stones, so you know if you reply quickly to a loud stone, you will get instant reply almost regardless what you play, helps alot in tournaments :)
BotKiller [5d\]: at first glance, i thought b has more pts because of S5's capture, but when i count, w seems ahead

LarryG [3d\]: he is almost a pro

sancho1 [2k\]: A8
LarryG [3d\]: around 20
pikbube [1d\]: white is probably asian
BotKiller [5d\]: c1 ko plus a6 ko
BotKiller [5d\]: so w should be ok
alark32 [9k\]: if black kills
Beetlebum [8k\]: with a name like Yuhan Zhang?
alark32 [9k\]: does black win ?

Test123 [2d\]: it was a big ko but no kos
spar [5k\]: us pro league
actgg [6d\]: us has only 1 pro this moment?
tywin [2d?\]: Bot, that seems to turn it into an actual ko, if I'm reading right (big if). Two steps, though.
sancho1 [2k\]: A6
TheCoon [1d\]: it has 2
chiron [3k?\]: botkiller, good plan
sancho1 [2k\]: ??
actgg [6d\]: which two?
Test123 [2d\]: yea
alark32 [9k\]: a6 is life

Nim: a6 no?
chiron [3k?\]: a6 c1
Test123 [2d\]: no way to  win
alark32 [9k\]: devine move ?
TheCoon [1d\]: andy liu and the canadian
actgg [6d\]: I heard lee gave 2 stones and won?
alark32 [9k\]: divine*
Ootakamoku [2d\]: if I were forced to play with a talking ing clock, there is good chance the clock wouldnt surive the aftermath of my resignation.
BotKiller [5d\]: how old is this white?
Toolucky [-\]: "the canadian" is gansheng shi
indianayk [4d\]: if a6, c10,b10,c11. b dies
actgg [6d\]: so they are the top in us
TheCoon [1d\]: the other guy who won last years go congress
TheCoon [1d\]: i forgot his name but i know hes from canada
USGO1 [-\]: black resigns here
YellowBell [6d\]: matthew?

Toolucky [-\]: well it's hard to say they're the "top" in US, but they became AGA pros last year
YellowBell [6d\]: @thecoon
USGO1 [-\]: thanks everyone for watching
Toolucky [-\]: certainly at the top, but i wouldn't say absolute top 2 in AGA
TheCoon [1d\]: i dont remember his name
Rukis [1k\]: thank you~
vitamancy [7k\]: not a good US open for the US pro so far, though.
BotKiller [5d\]: zhang yuhan from china?
