]RE[W+Resign]
;B[pc]C[Janan [-\]: Hi, is there a youtube live feed please?
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun has already clinched the title by defeating Song Zirui 1p last night, but will he be able to sweep all the way?
Hellhuman [2d?\]: Yes.
USGO1 [-\]: The youtube stream will start shortly
]
;W[dp]
;B[pq]C[Janan [-\]: thanks, do you happen to have the link?
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun is rubbing his eyes a little it.
USGO1 [-\]: bit*
]
;W[dc]
;B[qj]C[USGO1 [-\]: I will post the link when it starts
dfan [4k?\]: It will be at https://www.youtube.com/user/USGOWeb
Janan [-\]: thanks ! ;)
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun is here today in a blue checkered polo, while Jian Zhongfanis weaing a black shirt with a camo jacket.
Brian [1d\]: he should play this one blind, just for kicks
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun has opted for a diet pepsi, while Jian Zhongfan has a regular pepsi.
]
;W[jp]C[USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun is also wearing a pretty-looking watch.
dfan [4k?\]: Agreed, Brian :)
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun has rubbed his eyes twice so far this game.
]
;B[ce]
;W[dg]C[dfan [4k?\]: He always seems really sleepy on the livestreams
USGO1 [-\]: Perhaps he is up late telling stories to Mingjiu Jiang and Eric Lui (they are staying in the same suite this week).
darkronin [2k?\]: woo!
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun is staring out into the room now.
]
;B[cn]C[USGO1 [-\]: eye rub count: 3
Hellhuman [2d?\]: Well he can play blindly, so...
kikko: can he?

;B[ee]
;W[fd]
;B[di]C[Janan [-\]: 3 simultaneous game against dan, blind and won 2/3

kikko: is he a pro?
USGO1 [-\]: Neither player are pros.
USGO1 [-\]: I know Bao Yun is a Chinese 6d, but not sure about Jian Zhongfan (although I would assume the same)

;W[cc]C[USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun plays his stones in a very relaxed fashion.
]
;B[eb]C[Aram [2k\]: they play really really fast on all the usgo boards compared to the european go congress games, even taking into account the difference in time limits
Hellhuman [2d?\]: Europeans focus too much in fuseki i guess
darkronin [2k?\]: what happens if they run out of coke?
USGO1 [-\]: I'd say it depends on the players--some games here are still around move 30-40 by the one-hour mark.
USGO1 [-\]: There is more pepsi outside the playing room. :)
USGO1 [-\]: along with a few other varieties of drinks
darkronin [2k?\]: ^^
Javaness [2d\]: that's your 1 advert for the next 24 hours

Lugia [9d\]: it was ok
gosei [2d\]: big is relative
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun seems to like looking around the room.
USGO1 [-\]: Occasionally he will turn his head to the side and just stare into space.

LIORisrael [3d\]: or a16?

LIORisrael [3d\]: better
USGO1 [-\]: Jian Zhongfan lets out a heavy sigh.
SuperHonte [1d\]: w sactificed the corner for influence. i wonder what do the pros think about that?. The corner is quite big although the influence is spectacular
USGO1 [-\]: His right hand seems to be shaking a little bit.
tchitchi [2d\]: Bao looks astonished
zzuuzzuuu: was h16 the right order? that was a ko threat
USGO1 [-\]: Pro commentary with Lee Hajin 4p will start in a few minutes I believe.
LIORisrael [3d\]: h15 big
darkronin [2k?\]: the corner is not really big
LIORisrael [3d\]: maybe h17 O_O
SuperHonte [1d\]: 25 pts
]
;W[hc]C[LIORisrael [3d\]: ohh
tchitchi [2d\]: h16 looks really suspicious
USGO1 [-\]: Jian Zhongfan seemed about to play a stone, but then he pulled his hand back.
USGO1 [-\]: His whole body seems to be shaking
honku [1d\]: ha ha, Bao puts pepsi so that we see that smiley ;)
lepore [1d\]: nice product placement
gooooo [-\]: are you sponsored by them?
USGO1 [-\]: We are not :(
honku [1d\]: well, next year You should
honku [1d\]: by someone
USGO1 [-\]: Normally we would move them from the camera but I'm not really one to force the players to have to put their drinks somewhere else.
]
;B[db]C[strongmind [2k\]: looks too good for W 
USGO1 [-\]: There's more space on that side of the table so that's probably why they put them there.
honku [1d\]: hm, was B h18 an option?
DMXdawg [1d\]: yes, it is an option
LIORisrael [3d\]: just h14
gosei [2d\]: i think d16 was just a mistake
strongmind [2k\]: B could tenuki I believe
dfan [5k?\]: Crazy Stone wanted B H18 and thought it would be even
DMXdawg [1d\]: good morning stephen hu
DMXdawg [1d\]: hi haijin lee
strongmind [2k\]: n16 looks hot right now 
DMXdawg [1d\]: n16 is not urgent
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun lets out a "tsk"
USGO1 [-\]: the first audible sound from the players this game
USGO1 [-\]: Bao sits back and rubs his eyes again. He crosses his arms and looks around a bit while fiddling with some stones in his hands.

;B[je]
;W[kd]
;B[ke]C[USGO1 [-\]: It looked like Bao Yun was about to play M16, but then he lifted his hand and is probably considering other options now.
DMXdawg [1d\]: m16 would be huge for b to have
USGO1 [-\]: eye rub count: 5?
]
;W[md]C[Tsuke [2d\]: this board looks sort of bad for w,and then some?
dfan [4k?\]: FWIW Crazy Stone thinks W is ahead
Sakae [2d\]: Don't know about that, white has a lot of influence
Tsuke [2d\]: crazystone running onwhat hardware?
Sakae [2d\]: is crazy stone pro strength on a good comp?
dfan [4k?\]: Just a laptop, 500k playouts in this position so far
dfan [4k?\]: No
Tsuke [2d\]: sekae, no
dfan [4k?\]: Apparently around 7d KGS
Sakae [2d\]: so a week EU/US pro?
Sakae [2d\]: weak
]
;B[le]
;W[nc]
;B[oe]C[honku [1d\]: for a pro strength You need Google data center or some other supercomputer
Tsuke [2d\]: sekea, maybe, but almost all eu/us pros are kgs 8dan
Alife361 [2d?\]: which is regular smartphone power in 5-10 years...
Sakae [2d\]: well, technically... does hardware really matter? Doesn't it just make calculations faster?
Tsuke [2d\]: some occasionally tresspass to 9dan range
tornadotry [1k\]: really?
Tsuke [2d\]: sakae, technicaly, you can run it on yours moms 10y old laptop, if u willing to wait long enough
tornadotry [1k\]: I never saw a european 9d though but that's awesome
USGO1 [-\]: Jian Zhongfan has gotten up and left the room.
Tsuke [2d\]: but in practice, u dont have the time to wait long enough
Rubila [15k\]: left?
Rubila [15k\]: leave?
Tsuke [2d\]: tornadotry, none of them can maintain it afaik, but especially when creating a new account they can stay there for a while with some luck
Tsuke [2d\]: hence, trespass
USGO1 [-\]: Well this was a good opportunity to move the pepsi bottles.
Sakae [2d\]: maybe pepsi withdrew their individual sponsorship
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun seemed to understand why I moved it and promptly moved his as well.
DMXdawg [1d\]: how much do u think they get for being pepsi sponsors
DMXdawg [1d\]: as  much as michael jordan?
]
;W[nf]C[USGO1 [-\]: O14 was maybe the first move Bao Yun played with a bit of force.

;B[ne]
;W[me]
;B[mf]
;W[pd]C[Sakae [2d\]: what kind of stones are hajin and stephen use?
USGO1 [-\]: I believe the typical Ing stones.
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun's eyes dart around a lot.

;B[ng]C[USGO1 [-\]: Coming up around the first hour of play, Jian Zhongfan has about 1 hour and 8 minutes left, while Bao Yun probably has around 52 minutes left.
guapo [1k?\]: probably..
Sakae [2d\]: this looks so good for b
DMXdawg [1d\]: why
USGO1 [-\]: I can't see his clock but the round started slightly after 9 am, so I can subtract the time.
Sakae [2d\]: no weakness left really
Sakae [2d\]: just c6 getting to fight for it's own
]
;W[rd]C[USGO1 [-\]: Jian Zhongfan lets out a "tsk" and shakes his head.

Exiled [1d\]: Can you get me a hug from Hajin?
USGO2 [-\]: Hanchen Zhang 1p currently lives in Vancouver Canada, but I don't believe he has a Green Card

;B[lp]C[nuk: amazing sequence, at least to me.
USGO1 [-\]: good guess :)
sinojos [7k?\]: honku rules
el [2d\]: easy here, nowhere else to move considering wall
gogonuts [3d\]: left and right top similar, but reverse
nuk: R6?
sinojos [7k?\]: ok... honku minds ths tore
gogonuts [3d\]: b nicer in the upper half, w nicer in the bottom half
gogonuts [3d\]: so still pretty open
el [2d\]: W k6 or invade r5 
USGO1 [-\]: Link to youtube live stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZPKR7HzM_s
]
;W[kn]C[gogonuts [3d\]: invasion now is too thin
USGO1 [-\]: Periodically Zhang Hanchen has been getting up from the next table over to watch this game.
gogonuts [3d\]: but k6 was a reasonable guess :-)
]
;B[fp]C[gogonuts [3d\]: i actually like your k6 better
gogonuts [3d\]: the thinness of the knights move will bug w now
el [2d\]: wanted to press m4 and q3 
Herod [-\]: We trust W played the move he wanted to
gogonuts [3d\]: sure :-)
gogonuts [3d\]: but it looks to me like after k6 would have also had to invade
USGO1 [-\]: Both players are playing with stones in their hands.
gogonuts [3d\]: but I'm ok with calling L6 anbitious instead of greedy :-)
]
;W[mn]C[maggrig [2k\]: Is it unusual for players to play with stones in their hands?
el [2d\]: mutual destruction
cekalo [1k\]: looks like a close game
gogonuts [3d\]: yes, maggrig
maggrig [2k\]: Oki
gogonuts [3d\]: it blocks the synapses in your brain
gogonuts [3d\]: :-)
SuperHonte [1d\]: in theory is bad to do that
gogonuts [3d\]: try it :-)
el [2d\]: depends on how many stones
]
;B[do]C[maggrig [2k\]: The stones I play with are virtually hehe
gogonuts [3d\]: lol, el
el [2d\]: with more than 10 it will be simply uncomfortable
obiwan [1d\]: there are some tricks you can do with the stones, like you can do with poker chips
nuk: once I had an opponent wo played with Yo-yo only when I think...
Sakae [2d\]: yeah, like tossing them up in the air, and catch it with both hands
gogonuts [3d\]: I bet that worked for him :-)
maggrig [2k\]: It is a trick to disturb your focus nuk
gepay [3k\]: once I had an opponent put two down on the board in one move
Sakae [2d\]: you could probably ask him to stop if it annoyed you
nuk: in response to that, I whistled Requiem...
gogonuts [3d\]: lol, nuk
gogonuts [3d\]: you balanced the bad behaviors
]
;W[cp]C[nuk: some players make loud noise by putting their hand into bowl and shuffle stones/

;B[eo]C[nuk: B made his group weak?
gogonuts [3d\]: but he also made it a single group
nuk: F6 is a must here?
USGO1 [-\]: Bao Yun lets out a "tsk"

tornadotry [1k\]: great game

;W[bn]C[nuk: yes.
gogonuts [3d\]: b will will with this group, so ws prospects for abig territory went up in smoke
nuk: How old is Mr. Yun?
USGO1 [-\]: I would imagine he is in his 30s?
USGO1 [-\]: He is married and has a child.
nuk: Thanks.
gogonuts [3d\]: c7 or f6 - tough choice for b
Sakae [2d\]: ... My judget of age has gone really bad
nuk: C8?
el [2d\]: I like F6 more
gogonuts [3d\]: but they have played stingy moves before :-)
Sakae [2d\]: is white only playing to get another sente?
el [2d\]: I wonder what W wants to do with this group, it seems quite unlikely to die
nuk: I agree with you Sakae

el [2d\]: r9 ?
kaefer [?\]: s12 gets captured
strongmind [2k\]: r9?
gogonuts [3d\]: r9 is certainly calling
USGO1 [-\]: I can hear the loud slam coming.
Sakae [2d\]: r9 is sente though
Sakae [2d\]: doesn't that disrupt the ladder?

;B[nn]
;W[lq]
;B[lr]
;W[nm]
;B[po]C[nuk: Q6?
Sakae [2d\]: don't like shape of q6
Sakae [2d\]: so vulnerable
gogonuts [3d\]: thwacking is to intimidate - you don't need to thwack, when the opponent has no defense :_)
Sakae [2d\]: and I think probing later on r4 could be better, or at least having it open?
Sakae [2d\]: probably just s10 nw
Sakae [2d\]: or is w gonna start attacking e5 ?
el [2d\]: I think Wgained here, but not sure
gogonuts [3d\]: I'm pretty sure
Sakae [2d\]: g6 or s10 is my guess
gogonuts [3d\]: I think o5 was bad
el [2d\]: there also m11 cut for later
gogonuts [3d\]: better counter-atari than this
gogonuts [3d\]: ws ladder breaker was just too effective
honku [1d\]: now S10 is big for both, but gote
Sakae [2d\]: well
Sakae [2d\]: I think, ithere's some problems with s10
gogonuts [3d\]: s10 is a must - w only thinking about sente before
Sakae [2d\]: I mean, it only gives b a stone
Sakae [2d\]: and the area at r7 is not going tobe blacks either way
gogonuts [3d\]: w play s10
el [2d\]: but it seems B played it all pretty fast, I wonder if he saw all this and thinks it's ok for him
]
;W[rj]
;B[jq]C[gogonuts [3d\]: i wonder why w played s9 though, and not r9
nuk: I wonder if Mr. Yun closes his eyes while thinking about his moves :-)
Sakae [2d\]: why would w play r9?
Sakae [2d\]: nvm, misread
gogonuts [3d\]: because r9 would now be nicer
el [2d\]: r9 is cooler
Sakae [2d\]: thought you mean r9 instead of s10
LouisXIII [1d\]: M11 cut?
