GN[2013 US Go Congress Strong Players Open - Round 1 - Board 1 - Cong Li 3p vs James Sedgwick 7d]PW[Cong Li]PB[James Sedgwick]WR[3p]BR[7d]DT[2013-08-05]EV[2013 Strong Players Open]RO[1]PC[The KGS Go Server at http://www.gokgs.com/]US[Solomon Smilack]C[USGO4 [-\]: Hello and welcome to the AGA E-Journal's continuing broadcast of the 2013 US Go Congress in Tacoma, WA. My name is Solomon Smilack and I will be transcribing this game.
USGO4 [-\]: This is the first round of the Strong Players' Open, a 4-round Swiss-McMahon tournament for players 4d and higher with a total purse of USD$1550
RobertT [-\]: 9d?
USGO4 [-\]: James has taken his seat and is laughing about how badly he will be crushed. Rumor has it that Cong Li is a Chinese pro.
USGO4 [-\]: Cong has taken his seat and they are chatting now. He says he lost his game in the US Open this morning.
RobertT [-\]: he is 3p
USGO4 [-\]: He is indeed - his namecard says it in red letters.
USGO4 [-\]: Sweety is giving James a back massage and he says he feels at least a stone stronger now.
USGO4 [-\]: Cong studied under the same teacher as Mingming Yin 1p, who stopped by the table to help him translate a bit - he is from Beijing. He says "Go belongs to the whole world, so I'm excited to bring a little bit of international play to the US."

USGO4 [-\]: It's been my pleasure. The players are reviewing the game now.
USGO4 [-\]: Cong feels that black could have made much better ko threats for the top by running out with his r9 stones at r8 and then again at r7, making that much bigger.
USGO4 [-\]: While not giving white anything that he wasn't going to get anyway. Threatening at s10 wasn't at all big enough.
