vaansama [3k\]: gg matthey for this final victory
ptitlou [2d\]: thank you USGO, no video stream ?
vaansama [3k\]: ups i spoiled
USGO1 [-\]: No video feed, sorry. But the view is great. To the east, the Empire State Building. To the west, Madison Square Garden and the river. We are broadcasting today from the 18th floor of the Hotel Pennsylvania in midtown Manhattan.
TheThe [5k\]: US got no internet to stream videos?
mlkiop [4d\]: hello, USGO1, 2 questions : I couldn't find a result page, is there one ? And will the masters tournament be relayed ?

x4 [2d\]: lets go danny
vaansama [3k\]: its  will be nice to u
x4 [2d\]: amateur vs pro... this is gonna be good.
USGO1 [-\]: mlkiop I'm glad you asked, I will look up the results page. In the meantime let me explain that this IS the masters tournament. The AGA is trying out something new this year:
eladzap [7k\]: USGO
eladzap [7k\]: i didn't understand how the tournament works
USGO1 [-\]: It is a 9-round tournament that is open to all players, whereas in the past players had to qualify with points during the year in order to compete.
eladzap [7k\]: with the master thingy
Ananda [1k\]: when will the game start?
x4 [2d\]: didnt this tournament combine with some others a couple of months ago?
USGO1 [-\]: However, although the top prizes will go to the top players, there will be additional prizes that can only be claimed by players with sufficient Masters qualifying points.
eladzap [7k\]: there are any american 9d?
eladzap [7k\]: 9p?
USGO1 [-\]: 6 of the 9 rounds will take place in the mornings, simultaneous with the US Open, and the remaining 3 rounds will take place in the evenings.
TheThe [5k\]: just the over day they got that turney in Romania. they got video, lol
qsg [5k\]: no one to tell a joke about w's name??
Misteri [5k\]: it was not a "turney", it was the european go championship...
TheThe [5k\]: yeah, with video
eladzap [7k\]: why
eladzap [7k\]: the have a chinese name
eladzap [7k\]: and
eladzap [7k\]: american name
eladzap [7k\]: its wierd
Jermelle [-\]: It's common
eladzap [7k\]: really?
TheThe [5k\]: he;s got "ko" in the name
easyaspi [4k\]: he means because it's Ko i think
x4 [2d\]: andy liu's real name is something like "zhihuang" or something
eladzap [7k\]: dont want to sound racist but there are "real" american pros
eladzap [7k\]: non imigrants
Kain [6k\]: like native americans or you mean european imigrants?
eladzap [7k\]: i mean that all the pro's in the usa
eladzap [7k\]: are chinese
eladzap [7k\]: i am asking if there are "real" american pros
eladzap [7k\]: that was born in the usa
Bovdom [6d\]: he means that the american's names sounds so asian
eladzap [7k\]: no...
appleseeds [3k\]: http://senseis.xmp.net/?AGAProfessionals

Muttley [2k\]: oh, black is the pro

Roooa: not one I know the next move for tho ;)
keitarokun [2d?\]: now s5 looks bad for white
keitarokun [2d?\]: maybe this is the reason of q9?
vaansama [3k\]: totally normal for a mini chinese opening
miniruto [2k\]: p4 ? 8-)
vaansama [3k\]: no common is s5

;W[hr]C[Merlot [1k\]: J8
Merlot [1k\]: H8
schawipp [4k\]: w can cut f4 now
Merlot [1k\]: f4 cut 2 stones, small for now
USGO1 [-\]: Matthew has stepped out for a moment. What is the best way to protect against the f4 cut, if he decides to?
keitarokun [2d?\]: cut two stones but then h2 cut off too, not good idea
metlife [1d\]: there is no cut
USGO1 [-\]: Sunset is happening over the river and the pink is lighting up the buildings west of us.
levye [3k\]: i think it connects with k3
einstein [6d\]: p3 looks quite dangerous now
vaansama [3k\]: take a picture
vaansama [3k\]: and send us
USGO1 [-\]: The room is really very peaceful.
woebegone [3k\]: is the cut small? f6 will still be floating
USGO1 [-\]: Matthew is back with some water.
einstein [6d\]: q4 is possible or m4 but that leaves behind W q4 and life in the corner
USGO1 [-\]: Both players seem very relaxed.
metlife [1d\]: g3 will protect
]
;B[dr]C[satie [?\]: waiting for the blood dripping on the floor
TTL [1d\]: G3 such a sad move.
woebegone [3k\]: g3 empty triangle
levye [3k\]: i like f4
levye [3k\]: g4
TTL [1d\]: Both are sad so B doesn't play those.
]
;W[cq]C[woebegone [3k\]: what about protecting at e5?
levye [3k\]: dont know the time..but g4 seems ok to me
]
;B[pp]C[jodageezer [?\]: Does anyone know if Evan Cho is playing in the masters open?
jotty [2d?\]: yes
Jenaviiive [?\]: ooo
x4 [2d\]: who is that?
bdnelson22 [5k\]: even if w cuts there, b can either connect out or kill h2 i think
levye [3k\]: w's move o 17 ?
levye [3k\]: w looks so unsettled btw
woebegone [3k\]: cut -> b eats h2 -> w chases f6?
bdnelson22 [5k\]: could be
woebegone [3k\]: sounds like a bad trade for w
x4 [2d\]: its fine for both sides
]
;W[ch]C[ptitlou [2d\]: e13 now ?
ptitlou [2d\]: oops
x4 [2d\]: c12 = boss
einstein [6d\]: B played q4 which defended against all the aji at once
vaansama [3k\]: thats totally normal
schawipp [4k\]: cut -> b kills h2 -> w chases f6 -> f6 escapes into center and threatens L5
x4 [2d\]: i know, its just the timing of it was awesome
]
;B[gl]C[bdnelson22 [5k\]: well white will hope to strengthen l5 by chasing f6
bdnelson22 [5k\]: so b sees he must attack first rather than defend
]
;W[il]C[einstein [6d\]: whatever, anyway.... back to the game
levye [3k\]: :)
]
;B[dl]C[einstein [6d\]: after q4 there were TWO weak groups at the bottom - the first person to attack gets the initiative
satie [?\]: einstein would never say: "whatever"
einstein [6d\]: therefore c12 seems to mean 'whatever' and that's what he gets.
USGO1 [-\]: Can white follow up at b15?
einstein [6d\]: Yes, but it is bad
einstein [6d\]: b15 c15 b14 c13 b13 d12 c11 c7 b6 etc
]
;W[bl]C[metlife [1d\]: einstein didn't  know the word "whatever"
levye [3k\]: why not g4 for white and chase ? is it too small now ?
woebegone [3k\]: what is b's answer to w b15 now?
einstein [6d\]: It is at best a tactical ploy
einstein [6d\]: c13 is normal as a local defense
woebegone [3k\]: oh sry
woebegone [3k\]: has just been said
einstein [6d\]: But W b15 c15 b14 c13 b13 d12 c11 d11 c10 is unimportant 
]
;B[df]C[x4 [2d\]: nice.
rootnode [10k\]: almost forgot that the game was up
levye [3k\]: annoying sente
levye [3k\]: w plays f16 ?
satie [?\]: overconcentrated
einstein [6d\]: Einstein knows the words 'what' and 'ever' and he can connect the two to underscore their relativity.
Jermelle [-\]: hey Einstein o/
]
;W[ef]
;B[eg]C[einstein [6d\]: So instead of w b15, W would play d14 and B would have to play b14 - that would weaken f7 from a distance - very bad
einstein [6d\]: so B just wants to connect f7 and d14 
]
;W[dg]C[einstein [6d\]: W can now cut d13 b14 e12 f13 f12 for example
einstein [6d\]: locally, that looks bad, but isolating f7 is good
levye [3k\]: d10 seems necessary then am i wrong 
satie [?\]: f18 
benmd [1d\]: c13 ok?
base [-\]: looks evenish. I like white's position atm tho.
]
;B[bg]C[ptitlou [2d\]: w seems to dictate the flow of the game since the beginning. Good sign for him no ?

bdnelson22 [5k\]: give up the stone?
bdnelson22 [5k\]: f16?
metlife [1d\]: attack f7
schawipp [4k\]: letting b connect through looks quite bad
satie [?\]: big loss

Teylon [1k?\]: Mobile client here, who is playing please?
MicMac [2d\]: f14 ? if white get the 2 stones f7 is under real pressure
keitarokun [2d?\]: I don't understand how a 7d doesn't read this :S
woebegone [3k\]: dae hyuk as w, zi yang as black
bdnelson22 [5k\]: dae hyuk ko 7d white vs zi yang hu 1p
x4 [2d\]: i think white will tenuki and attack the f7 stones at some point

roln1111 [-\]: Is Daniel Ko good at playing kos?
USGO1 [-\]: Ranks may not be very useful to determine strength. By rating, Daniel is certainly the underdog. Daniel's rating is 8.08 for this tournament, Matthew is 9.94

USGO1 [-\]: The players are discussing the game now. Daniel feels like he could have used more sente and had a better flow in the center attacking the k13 stones.
Alejandro [14k\]: maybe the komi is not well set
rsun [6d\]: what's that A label for
USGO1 [-\]: Matthew suggests that A could have been at Q3 right away.
rsun [6d\]: thx
USGO1 [-\]: Both players agree that black could atari at j3 instead of connecting at B in the game, with threats like f15.
rsun [6d\]: did b need k5 to win or not? if not it would've been like a 0.5 game
USGO1 [-\]: Matthew suggests coming to q2 before C.
USGO1 [-\]: Instead of pushing up at D hoping to connect his groups, Matthew thinks moving out into the center would have been better at H10
rsun [6d\]: thx for relaying the review, great bonus
USGO1 [-\]: Daniel says that he was playing on the left to secure the left side and get sente for the top, that he wasn't intending to kill the black dragon.
USGO1 [-\]: Both players counted the game B+0.5 before Matthew took the final few points with the ko.
rsun [6d\]: great confirmation
BrianH [2k\]: thx
rsun [6d\]: thx
keitarokun [2d?\]: thanks 
USGO1 [-\]: The players actually think E is a honte move, that white has too much aji inside if black tries to defend outside.
USGO1 [-\]: Daniel regretted the exchanges around F and G in damaging his potential in the middle, and felt the losing move was missing the hane at H. Even pushing up at I earler would force black to connect and save many points.
