kmr [1d\]: his info says so :)
Mitty [1k\]: Oh no, its Mark Lee! this must be nice

USGO1 [-\]: Last year in New York, Mark was undefeated
Bazzi [1d\]: Brilliant!
USGO1 [-\]: Calvin bacame the AGA's 3rd pro a year and a half ago
USGO10 [-\]: Follow us on Twitter @theaga #gocongress #congress2015 
kmr [1d\]: wow so many USGO guys! :D
USGO1 [-\]: we're twins
YZ1509 [4d\]: good to see well organised broadcast
YZ1509 [4d\]: next step: get foxnews coverage ^^
Bazzi [1d\]: e 10, maybe.
YZ1509 [4d\]: ah pity, foxnews only does sports which do doping
]
;W[ej]C[Terranigma [1k\]: isn't go one of those though?
]
;B[gn]C[play234 [-\]: awesome live stream! great stuff
YZ1509 [4d\]: nope, if there was any doping to improve your go i would immediately take a big dosis
Koukkaaja [-\]: cheers!
Mitty [1k\]: if w h4 around, b next move is where/?
slang [4k\]: I want to see Mark defeated at least once this year :)
Thoravatar [2d\]: Where is the US Go congress in 2016?
Terranigma [1k\]: YZ1509: sorry, not going to share the recipe
tkefl72 [?\]: Saint Thomas, MN I think
slang [4k\]: that's this year
Thoravatar [2d\]: y, so next year? I can't find it anywhere
tkefl72 [?\]: I think next year's is posted after Jan
Thoravatar [2d\]: wow, that's late
Thoravatar [2d\]: ok, thx
USGO1 [-\]: I've heard rumors that it will be in Boston... its usually announced at the end of this week

YZ1509 [4d\]: at move18

;W[cl]C[Bazzi [1d\]: i appreciate you.
tkefl72 [?\]: :)
]
;B[bk]C[YZ1509 [4d\]: hmm now white wants to play j3 and g16
YZ1509 [4d\]: i guess g16 is the one which  is most urgent
actgg [6d?\]: Mark Lee is strong
slang [4k\]: I guess we all know that from his performance last year
actgg [6d?\]: H8?
actgg [6d?\]: B's h9 is too severe, w needs a move here
Bazzi [1d\]: w's e9 looks thin.
YZ1509 [4d\]: the white heavy centregroup should be able to run out without a move
YZ1509 [4d\]: if black gets g16 it's a very short game
YZ1509 [4d\]: so i would G16 g14 h9..inducing
]
;W[fo]C[actgg [6d?\]: this move looks vulgar
actgg [6d?\]: interesting
Bazzi [1d\]: looks unnecessary, right?
Terranigma [1k\]: too soon, at least
actgg [6d?\]: w wants to cut
actgg [6d?\]: e7, then c7
Mitty [1k\]: the live commentary should be starting?
Terranigma [1k\]: of course
USGO1 [-\]: check out the latest news and events on the AGA website:  http://www.usgo.org/
Terranigma [1k\]: but cutting now is fairly pointless
Iniesta [2k\]: running group for b in good for w
Terranigma [1k\]: huh.. how so?
]
;B[em]C[USGO1 [-\]: check out our Facebook page at  https://www.facebook.com/AmericanGoAssociation
actgg [6d?\]: e7 prevents the cut, good move
actgg [6d?\]: g6 is not big, o3 is an iron head
Terranigma [1k\]: if i were black i'd play f6 and go along with that stupif cutting plan happily :v
gogonuts [4d\]: b doing ok, w cant fix his group like a lord
actgg [6d?\]: w needs a move in center
Bazzi [1d\]: beautiful move for b.
actgg [6d?\]: w will get h3
actgg [6d?\]: b
Mitty [1k\]: actgg is bad
Mitty [1k\]: *good
actgg [6d?\]: thx
]
;W[dl]C[actgg [6d?\]: m17 also big for white
]
;B[bm]C[Terranigma [1k\]: d8 looks dumb... why make yourself even heavier like that?
actgg [6d?\]: no idea why w plays d8
Warfreak2 [-\]: remove eyes from b
actgg [6d?\]: now b at least has b5 sente
actgg [6d?\]: remove eyes??
Warfreak2 [-\]: yes
USGO1 [-\]: Latest photos and updates on Twitter @theaga #gocongress #congress2015
Warfreak2 [-\]: w c12 works nicely if b can't d10
actgg [6d?\]: ...
actgg [6d?\]: the only reason I can think of is w wants a5 sente
actgg [6d?\]: but center is so urgent
billlin [9d\]: f5 is kinda early 
Terranigma [1k\]: Thanks, Bill. My words exactly. :p

;W[hl]
;B[fm]
;W[fh]C[actgg [6d?\]: k16, h3, super big
actgg [6d?\]: g16
]
;B[ff]C[actgg [6d?\]: b is aiming g9
actgg [6d?\]: aggresive
Terranigma [1k\]: hard for w to tenuki though, so i approve
actgg [6d?\]: w probably spend too many moves in center
tkefl72 [?\]: question isn't k16 bigger and more urgent then h3
actgg [6d?\]: h9 was clean, one move
actgg [6d?\]: w let b get b7, f14, and still needs another move
Terranigma [1k\]: w has no choice but to play at the top now
Terranigma [1k\]: b getting there would be too painful
]
;W[hg]C[actgg [6d?\]: g9 too severe
Terranigma [1k\]: hmm.....

;W[lo]
;B[cq]C[Terranigma [1k\]: til 10 decimal places
Rodtank [1d\]: white seems to be doing better than most of mark's victims
Terranigma [1k\]: it will depend on what'll happen in the centre, but i favor b at least
]
;W[bp]
;B[im]C[heureux [3k\]: i think w won...
Terranigma [1k\]: won what?
]
;W[bn]C[Muttley [3k\]: White won the best hat competition

;B[an]
;W[bo]C[Muttley [3k\]: k6 maybe
]
;B[il]C[alienist [5k\]: kibtz is most interesting attraction of these games
]
;W[bl]
;B[cm]C[OddKibitz [?\]: Yes, kibitz is essential.
Muttley [3k\]: w might be thin, but w can still cut imho
USGO1 [-\]: ...if not odd
OddKibitz [?\]: Cutting seems a bit pointless
OddKibitz [?\]: B just settles into W's moyo or makes points on the bottom
OddKibitz [?\]: imo
Terranigma [1k\]: European/American go players seem a tad obsessed with cutting stuff ^^
Muttley [3k\]: if you don't cut, you won't kill
whatisgo [-\]: so does koreans
Lesmian [2k\]: there is no goban without cutting wood
]
;W[al]
;B[am]C[Lesmian [2k\]: so you have to cut even before you start playing
Terranigma [1k\]: the difference is that (high level) koreans don't cut to kill, but to get ahead
Muttley [3k\]: I'd sac the c8 stones to cut the j7 stones, but perhaps w will just try to kill the lot
FieldMouse [4d?\]: a7, seriously?
]
;W[bi]C[Muttley [3k\]: b dreams of kill w :))
USGO1 [-\]: pairings and results will be available here: http://www.usgo.org/tournaments/crosstab/band-matrix/173
Terranigma [1k\]: b wants to make c3 useful though of course
FieldMouse [4d?\]: i like opponents with dreams of killing me, they play lots of neutral points :)

;B[ei]
;W[dj]
;B[cj]C[Muttley [3k\]: ... until you meet someone with a cat picture ;)
]
;W[hk]C[FieldMouse [4d?\]: gay or twoeye? :)
Muttley [3k\]: lol :)) let me check ...
]
;B[fi]C[Muttley [3k\]: I'm trying to think of the 6d with the evil Siamese cat picture ...
Muttley [3k\]: I can't see either of their cats killing anything, frankly
]
;W[gi]
;B[eh]
;W[gj]C[OddKibitz [?\]: W can play C12 to force B into a terrible shape locally
Terranigma [1k\]: bottom more urgent
Muttley [3k\]: L4
]
;B[km]C[Muffinman [4k\]: args this game here is turned around in comparison to the live stream by aga
Muffinman [4k\]: -.-
Bauer [1k\]: I do not understand L7
Terranigma [1k\]: L7 probably prepares attack on F4 etc
Muffinman [4k\]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y10WkP_vMaA btw

;B[kj]C[Terranigma [1k\]: very nice reduction/life by b
Konatus [1d\]: connaisseur
Unruffled [2d\]: b is still in a bit of trouble
Terranigma [1k\]: but so is w, so it kinda evens out imo
Unruffled [2d\]: with p11 it favors w
AppleWatch: b is in trouble??
USGO1 [-\]: White has 10 mins main time left
]
;W[lh]C[Konatus [1d\]: black seems to be ahead now
AppleWatch: w has to defend M12, R8, and has to reduce b upper potential
AppleWatch: and someone thinks b is in trouble?
Unruffled [2d\]: yes
sinoya: just replayed... E7 is one of those moves the audience always misses :D
Terranigma [1k\]: i think he meant locally
sinoya: but yea, b handled w weak groups very well
sinoya: b handles 2 weak groups
Fortress: was W m12 gote?
sinoya: it's urgent
Terranigma [1k\]: i don't think b can tenuki -- i maen, what to do when w plays n9?
AppleWatch: m12 is a must
DrKar [12k\]: guys there is gonna be a live audio commentary by Jennie Shen 2P on USG02
sinoya: still 2p after all those years?
eleven21: i guess at least b r8 now is dangerous for b. it will backfire
DrKar [12k\]: i dunno no idea
sinoya: is she out of the loop?
sinoya: real-life sandbagging
sinoya: b is connected, but i think he needs 1 more eye
AppleWatch: J5 is one eye
sinoya: or more space
]
;B[fc]C[Fortress: so W m12 is maybe also an attack against the black group under it
AppleWatch: b is not worried about life/death
AppleWatch: but with one defending move at N9 around, b could invade r8
AppleWatch: apparently b thinks the same
sinoya: mmh
sinoya: i think he should worry a bit
sinoya: how much time do they have left, respectively?
]
;W[fd]C[Terranigma [1k\]: b has some extra juice around L2/M3 I suppose
USGO1 [-\]: the clock announced that white was down to 10 mins, a few mins ago (not at the 5 min warning yet)... black has lots of time to spare.. 48 mins
]
;B[gc]C[sinoya: Thank you. 
AppleWatch: F16 is a nice asking move
AppleWatch: now E14 F15 becomes interesting
sinoya: question. Are players allowed to wander off and replay the game on another board?
OddKibitz [?\]: B position seems better to me.
]
;W[be]C[AppleWatch: e14 f15 becomes severe cut now
Fortress: i would play B L3 with the plan to play B n5 then
AppleWatch: b needs to defend
AppleWatch: but defend at H14 would lose points with B15
AppleWatch: kind of painful :)

Resolute [6k\]: Wow, and w is on byo yomi now, yeah?
AppleWatch: thanks, USGO1
USGO1 [-\]: Yes they are
AppleWatch: so white is going to lose...most likely
USGO1 [-\]: White resigns
AppleWatch: complicated fight
AppleWatch: oh
AppleWatch: well, giving up N14 seems too much
USGO1 [-\]: Both players are quietly reviewing the game with each other
AppleWatch: giving up L16 = loss
AppleWatch: giving up N14 = gote, but middle group becomes weaker
