;B[fe]
;W[od]C[einstein [6d\]: m15 looks like the only move
]
;B[pf]
;W[of]
;B[og]
;W[mf]
;B[je]C[einstein [6d\]: g16 f16 h14 is possible, but looks overplay-ish
einstein [6d\]: W can also play l16 k16 l17 k17 k18 j17 m18 but that is too easy on B
]
;W[gd]
;B[fd]
;W[hf]
;B[jd]
;W[ic]C[USGO2 [-\]: Black has used 27 minutes to White's 10.
]
;B[jg]C[grindel [?\]: is this turny broadcast on the web?
]
;W[ng]C[USGO2 [-\]: no video, but there is a beautiful sunset going down over 34th st and the Hudson River, and the player's gazes are about to set this board into flames.
]
;B[oh]C[einstein [6d\]: so W did the overplay-ish thing with g16 f16 h14 
xedover [?\]: aren't you watching it on the web now?
einstein [6d\]: B needs to be careful - he only has one weak group at k15 BUT if W plays c17, possibly f17 becomes unstable too
]
;W[qc]
;B[rc]C[einstein [6d\]: W wants to play q15 r15 but that is aji-keshi - so before that, he tries r17 s17, then q15 - that makes r17 s17 into a forcing exchange

;B[ki]
;W[ni]
;B[ig]
;W[hg]
;B[hh]
;W[fg]C[einstein [6d\]: with o11, W has made n14 almost impossible to attack
einstein [6d\]: that means B k16 and w h14 are the only weak groups, and possibly d18 can become weak
]
;B[hi]C[einstein [6d\]: c17 now
einstein [6d\]: B is aiming at n11 m11 n10 m10 n9 m12 but not possible now
]
;W[gh]C[einstein [6d\]: g12 is far too tame
einstein [6d\]: but the goal is c17 g10 
einstein [6d\]: g10 is the vital point locally
einstein [6d\]: Probably w thought that if W c17, B e13 or so would be dangerous
einstein [6d\]: B can play c17 now or he can try to take sente by playing e14 e13 d14 d13 c15 c13 g10 or so

;B[cc]
;W[gj]
;B[dg]
;W[cg]
;B[dh]
;W[ci]C[einstein [6d\]: Well, this is a combination of what I was talking about
einstein [6d\]: B needs to be wary of a W cut at e14 or d14 
einstein [6d\]: if d14 d11 probably
einstein [6d\]: Probably betterjust to play d11 c10 d10 
einstein [6d\]: But locally g11 f11 f10 e11 is something B is thinking about - however, it is an overplay now
einstein [6d\]: W g11 just seems too good, that's why B is thinking that
]
;B[cj]C[einstein [6d\]: wow
einstein [6d\]: c10 is very creative - that is all any commentator can ever say....
]
;W[di]
;B[ei]C[einstein [6d\]: so the aim is quite clear
einstein [6d\]: c10 d11 e11 d10 e10 d9 g11

zwartecros: f14 not good?

;W[hj]
;B[ii]
;W[ij]
;B[ji]C[domi999 [1k\]: d9 ?
domi999 [1k\]: b aiming for cut at n11
domi999 [1k\]: ?
]
;W[dk]
;B[el]C[domi999 [1k\]: d14 ?
USGO2 [-\]: White grabs a stone and fidgets with it, if he changes his mind he discards it onto the tablecloth and grabs a different stone.  He has a pile of 20-30 white stones sitting on the table.
]
;W[ef]
;B[ff]
;W[eg]C[domi999 [1k\]: h15 
beeracc [3k\]: so if h15 works then  e14  was crap
beeracc [3k\]: better d14?
domi999 [1k\]: d8  maybe?
]
;B[dl]
;W[ek]
;B[fk]C[einstein [6d\]: keep reading
]
;W[fl]
;B[hl]C[domi999 [1k\]: h14 points but gote after all
domi999 [1k\]: h15*
einstein [6d\]: no, he can' capture
einstein [6d\]: can't
domi999 [1k\]: n11 is cooking
einstein [6d\]: nah
]
;W[fm]C[einstein [6d\]: B completely failed in his objectives
domi999 [1k\]: this doesnt look too good for b
domi999 [1k\]: yep
einstein [6d\]: as I said 'Move 59 einstein [6d\]: wow einstein [6d\]: c10 is very creative - that is all any commentator can ever say....'
einstein [6d\]: So what happen if B plays h15 ?
]
;B[en]C[domi999 [1k\]: nothing
domi999 [1k\]: :)
einstein [6d\]: h15 j15 j14 g15 g14 g13 d14 e15 d15 e16 c15 c16 b15 b16 c12 b11 b12 but d13 would be dead locally and h14 has more libs
domi999 [1k\]: h15 j15 j14 g15 g14 
domi999 [1k\]: ok
einstein [6d\]: So B is keeping a subroutine of this puzzle in his head and is trying to manipulate the outcome somehow.

domi999 [1k\]: ?
domi999 [1k\]: b dead
einstein [6d\]: OKB did the subroutine I pointed out ages ago
einstein [6d\]: He can never win this fight
ssaw [3d\]: B18 for all
ssaw [3d\]: F18 for 5
domi999 [1k\]: f18 g17 g18 h16 h17 
einstein [6d\]: w can just play f18 g17 g18 h16 h17 but then a16 b17 b18
