gooooo [-\]: Is white big bad wolf?
USGO2 [-\]: As a transcriber I gotta stay neutral
USGO2 [-\]: Yes he is
gooooo [-\]: thanks!
USGO2 [-\]: Both players seem a little tired and were rubbing their eyes
miao [6d\]: I root for b
miao [6d\]: but only slightly
miao [6d\]: because andy lives on the same sever as me :)
USGO2 [-\]: Fun fact, although he is a Japanese pro, Ito can speak Chinese!
]
;W[qn]
;B[qk]C[USGO2 [-\]: Ito has left the table while Andy continues to stare at the board
]
;W[qq]C[miao [6d\]: is coffe available again over there?
miao [6d\]: *咖啡
USGO2 [-\]: It is, but Andy only has a bottle of water and Ito currently has no beverage

;B[cn]
;W[fq]C[USGO2 [-\]: Andy was playing very slow in fuseki, spending 10 minutes for his first five moves, but is back to playing his characteristic fast pace
]
;B[dj]C[USGO2 [-\]: Andy look to be reading out variations and is tapping the board softly with a go stone between his fingers.

hobajons [?\]: a very andy like move
DonValley [5d\]: andy = alphago?
]
;B[jo]C[Rodtank [2d\]: to stop Black splitting bottom? 
DonValley [5d\]: omg
]
;W[io]C[USGO2 [-\]: This is why I wanted to record this game today :)

DonValley [5d\]: k5 is so alpha
]
;W[ko]

gooooo [-\]: usgo2, who is ahead in yawns?
miao [6d\]: white in huge trouble all of a sudden
USGO2 [-\]: I would say the count is Andy - 1 Ito - 2
USGO2 [-\]: Ito seems very calm and confident as he just inspected his right tricep for a good half minute
USGO2 [-\]: Andy seems a bit more on edge

;W[jj]
;B[lk]C[DonValley [5d\]: wut
gooooo [-\]: now that I start to think about it

USGO2 [-\]: At the 50 minute mark, both players have used 25 minutes each.

USGO2 [-\]: Andy almost accidently plays a black stone :)
miao [6d\]: o12 no?

;B[cc]C[miao [6d\]: hm
miao [6d\]: strange
]
;W[md]C[USGO2 [-\]: miao, does it look like Andy could possibly be experimenting or something because I've never seen Andy play this aggressive in a tournament, especially against a professional.
miao [6d\]: j17 would be more annoying
miao [6d\]: well andy has a lost situation
miao [6d\]: he needs to create something
miao [6d\]: and b just avoids it
miao [6d\]: i mean fights
DonValley [5d\]: interesting insight Usgo2

spacetime [2d\]: well, actually if he gets the top around L17, maybe
]
;W[fd]
;B[ec]
;W[lg]C[USGO2 [-\]: Ito looks relatively unconcerned as he checks out and picks his nails a little
USGO2 [-\]: Andy leaves the table to check out other top boards
Uberdude [3d\]: b15 a little slack compared to f15 jump?
Burton [6k\]: when will the pro commentary begin at this site
USGO10 [-\]: Pro commentary will start in around 15 minutes
USGO2 [-\]: Ito is scratching his forehead and sighs softly
USGO2 [-\]: This is the longest period of time he's spent on a move so far this game.
USGO2 [-\]: Andy's tapping the table again, looks like he's running through more variations
GodofGo [6d\]: b abit too passive and let w develop moyo without much resistance
]
;B[ed]C[GodofGo [6d\]: yeah this was the only way to break in
]
;W[gd]
;B[ef]C[USGO2 [-\]: Andy tsk'd and pinched his lips before playing his last move
USGO2 [-\]: Ito's response was immediate
USGO2 [-\]: Ito leaves the table, perhaps to get some more coffee
USGO2 [-\]: Ito returns, indeed with coffee
]
;W[kr]C[USGO1 [-\]: There's coffee?!?!?
USGO3 [-\]: YES!!!
USGO1 [-\]: :D!!!!!
USGO1 [-\]: wait i'm stuck here
USGO1 [-\]: ._.
USGO3 [-\]: :)
USGO2 [-\]: Ito has 40 minutes remaining, Andy around 49 minutes
]
;B[cg]C[USGO2 [-\]: Andy looks a bit shocked at this move
]
;W[bg]
;B[ch]C[hokusai2 [2k\]: is there a wall list for this tournament?
USGO2 [-\]: Calvin Sun 1p comes over to look at the game
USGO2 [-\]: hokusai, we have a crosstab here: http://www.usgo.org/tournaments/crosstab/band-matrix/176
]
;W[df]
;B[eg]C[hokusai2 [2k\]: thx :)
USGO2 [-\]: Anytime
USGO2 [-\]: Andy is craned over the board scanning for his next move
USGO2 [-\]: He tsk's again and looks unhappy
tornadotry [1k\]: hmm tough spot..
]
;W[ee]
;B[fe]
;W[de]C[USGO2 [-\]: Both players are now craned over the board, their heads barely a foot apart
]
;B[eh]
;W[bh]
;B[bf]
;W[ci]C[spacetime [2d\]: so andy misread and died?
]
;B[ge]
;W[he]
;B[hf]
;W[gf]
;B[ff]
;W[gg]C[USGO2 [-\]: Andy shakes his head and sighs again.
Aliquid [4d\]: Go can be frustrating at times
liyu [-\]: very frustrating
liyu [-\]: looks like white lost alot of material
USGO2 [-\]: Ito has 30 minute remaining
USGO2 [-\]: He looks a bit more on edge than before and is bouncing his legs when before he was very calm and still
Catlemur [1k?\]: This game is not suitable for children, too much gore.
USGO2 [-\]: He cranes so forward across the board his head passes tengen
USGO2 [-\]: Definitely an exciting and violent game :)
USGO2 [-\]: Andy leaves and checks out the other boards
Aliquid [4d\]: It looks like Ito played h14 impulsively, g13 was good enough
USGO2 [-\]: He instantly played h14 after h15, so I think you're right
USGO2 [-\]: Andy is now standing off to the side and looking at his own game. Maybe he's looking for a different perspective
USGO2 [-\]: He gave a soft "ugh" in Chinese before turning away to look at a different game
]
;B[lh]C[shukaku [1d\]: when you are not satisfied with the situation,change the perspective!
]
;W[fh]
;B[ei]
;W[fi]
;B[dc]
;W[og]C[USGO2 [-\]: Surprising move, but Ito looks unsurprised

;B[hb]
;W[ib]C[GodofGo [6d\]: crosscut
]
;B[oh]
;W[nh]
;B[of]
;W[mg]C[USGO2 [-\]: Again Ito leans over the board, pushing even past tengen 
]
;B[mf]C[USGO3 [-\]: this looks bad for andy
USGO2 [-\]: Ito has 17 minutes remaining, Andy has 38 remaining
Infernape [7d\]: o 14
]
;W[nf]
;B[kg]
;W[lf]C[USGO3 [-\]: please check fif players counting ko threats

Infernape [7d\]: yeah
]
;W[mf]
;B[ic]
;W[gb]C[USGO2 [-\]: Andy stands up again to look at the game for a bit, then walks away to check out other games
USGO2 [-\]: Ito has resumed his bouncing, his right foot is curled underneath him while his left leg bounces
USGO2 [-\]: He leans over studying the position intently as he now has 10 minutes remaining
Uberdude [3d\]: why did black atari p12 rather than p14?
USGO2 [-\]: I was wondering that too
Uberdude [3d\]: p14 stays connected and loses a few points, p12 tries to keep a few points but lets centre get cut which is usrely bigger?
USGO2 [-\]: Ito has been considering this position for nearly twenty minutes
Uberdude [3d\]: hmm i suppose it is more than a few pts in side
USGO2 [-\]: Andy is looking stressed and a bit impatient as he runs his head through his hair, sighs, and checks Ito's clock for the third time in the past five minutes
USGO2 [-\]: Ito enters byo yomi
]
;B[ie]
;W[ha]
;B[jb]C[USGO2 [-\]: The game is currently paused
USGO2 [-\]: The clock is broken and Ito is unable to hear the byo yomi count down, so he requested a pause
USGO2 [-\]: A new clock is brought in and the game resumes
