abm1210 [2d\]: i guess not, they are pros? quite experienced in complicated fighting
enderblitz [2d\]: that's my guess too, but you never know
lance [1k\]: adrenaline will be flowing
DanielTom [-\]: complicated
DanielTom [-\]: I'm cheering for B :)
DanielTom [-\]: g10 maybe
abm1210 [2d\]: yea, i think white is leading
abm1210 [2d\]: black a bit desperate lol

]
;W[cj]C[profan [-\]: what about big seki?
abm1210 [2d\]: b13?
]
;B[ci]C[DanielTom [-\]: priority now is for b to live with these stones
DanielTom [-\]: killing w on the right is not enough if b dies here
abm1210 [2d\]: whats your rank DanielTom?
DanielTom [-\]: 3d maybe
DanielTom [-\]: so, don't trust my word:)
profan [-\]: 3d liar? :)
profan [-\]: c17?
DanielTom [-\]: something like c13 
trumie [2d\]: Maybe he is lying about being 3d then
DanielTom [-\]: w needs to keep b's groups separated
abm1210 [2d\]: yea agree
WVoron [5d\]: w needs to live
profan [-\]: agree with 5d (for the moment :)
abm1210 [2d\]: not hard for white to live just need to kill black lol
]
;W[ej]
;B[ei]C[abm1210 [2d\]: this's a really exciting game
WVoron [5d\]: life is good for white without kill
abm1210 [2d\]: yes need to get right part alive
abm1210 [2d\]: then white is ahead
WVoron [5d\]: but what about s6 white stones?
DanielTom [-\]: not sure if b s10 kills
WVoron [5d\]: if black push first there its not easy to live

DanielTom [-\]: b12 b11 c13 d13 b14 
]
;B[gk]
;W[gl]C[USGO2 [-\]: White has 12 min left, Black has 13
abm1210 [2d\]: ok about even in time still plenty
DanielTom [-\]: b needs to defend again
abm1210 [2d\]: black losing in pts too
]
;B[bj]
;W[bk]
;B[bi]
;W[mn]C[DanielTom [-\]: ah, w defended
]
;B[cl]C[abm1210 [2d\]: black needs to make something happen
Muttley [2k\]: nice to see pros just want to kill
Muttley [2k\]: apologies for the deep technical analysis
DanielTom [-\]: b trying to get rhythm
DanielTom [-\]: to defend b4 
abm1210 [2d\]: if black plays b4 he'll lose
Muttley [2k\]: the way to defend b4
DanielTom [-\]: b k3 big too
Muttley [2k\]: is to play b4
abm1210 [2d\]: pts wise black is trailing on board .. so not even close
]
;W[ck]C[DanielTom [-\]: e8 
DanielTom [-\]: maybe b can attack the whole group
abm1210 [2d\]: that's black's only hope
DanielTom [-\]: let me count...
abm1210 [2d\]: white pts 40+
DanielTom [-\]: no way
abm1210 [2d\]: black barely 30
DanielTom [-\]: problem is w k17 sente
abm1210 [2d\]: of course sente
Muttley [2k\]: w 49 + komi b 37
abm1210 [2d\]: yea, not even close black needs to make something happen or else he'll need to resign
DanielTom [-\]: b can c5 sente + k3 , but doesn't seem enough
abm1210 [2d\]: nah not even close .. black need to make something happen here for the middle part
]
;B[el]C[DanielTom [-\]: ~:)
abm1210 [2d\]: unless something drastic happen to white hard for b win atm
abm1210 [2d\]: btw this is really a gruelling tournament 9 rounds really tough opponents
abm1210 [2d\]: in a week .. lots of pressure
DanielTom [-\]: 9p tournaments are worse :-p
abm1210 [2d\]: well they only play one game in a week?
cjalden [2k\]: They aren't 9 rounds in 6 days
abm1210 [2d\]: this is a week, 9 rounds
DanielTom [-\]: that's true
Kaskai [4k\]: USGO, what is the time limit? is it only 60 mins?? 
]
;W[fl]C[abm1210 [2d\]: a game could last 4 hours, 2 games a day .. man ..
]
;B[bl]C[cjalden [2k\]: 90 minutes basic time
abm1210 [2d\]: 90 mins then 30 seconds
abm1210 [2d\]: with 5 periods
DanielTom [-\]: I'll play 3 games a day in KPMC
DanielTom [-\]: next month
abm1210 [2d\]: what's KPMC?
DanielTom [-\]: korea prime minister cup
abm1210 [2d\]: nice
abm1210 [2d\]: where's that?
DanielTom [-\]: korea
minajinn [16k\]: cool
abm1210 [2d\]: nice
abm1210 [2d\]: good luck
DanielTom [-\]: thx
DanielTom [-\]: no pressure for me of course
abm1210 [2d\]: yea
abm1210 [2d\]: there's some work for white here
shipshape [?\]: Original time limits were 90 minutes basic time with 5 30's byo-yomi
abm1210 [2d\]: correct
Muttley [2k\]: this is actually quite severe
abm1210 [2d\]: USGO3, is white in byo-yomi yet?
]
;W[gp]C[gobugobu [2d?\]: Maybe d7 d8 e7 a9 c4 c3 d5 would work
DanielTom [-\]: unexpected move
gobugobu [2d?\]: g6 looks normal now
abm1210 [2d\]: that's quite aggressive but good move
gobugobu [2d?\]: but if g6 h7 h6 j6 is severe
abm1210 [2d\]: w middle 6 isn't complete connected yet
MadamSacco [4k\]: I left for a few min. what result on 1st board ? thx 
]
;B[em]C[abm1210 [2d\]: white wins
abm1210 [2d\]: 2p wins
gobugobu [2d?\]: e7 is pretty crazy
MadamSacco [4k\]: thx very much 
]
;W[fn]C[abm1210 [2d\]: not crazy but desperate
abm1210 [2d\]: as i sai black need to makesomething happen here
abm1210 [2d\]: with at least gain of 10 pts to make game interesting
abm1210 [2d\]: or even more
gobugobu [2d?\]: e6 and f4 are a perfect combi for B - but how?
DanielTom [-\]: d5 
gobugobu [2d?\]: so g5 f5 g6 f7 f4 h4 j5 ?
DanielTom [-\]: oh, never mind
DanielTom [-\]: b's right group is not safe
gobugobu [2d?\]: yes
gobugobu [2d?\]: r3 r2 s2 ko in the worst case or r3 r2 s3 s2 eye in sente

gobugobu [-\]: Now w is a little connected

;B[jr]C[DanielTom [-\]: not connected
reprisal [3d\]: does b have liberties to play severely like this?

;W[jq]C[DanielTom [-\]: h2 
gobugobu [-\]: yes, but k2 at h3 g3 h2 g2 j3 h1 k2 takes away the eye also
