;W[lh]C[momiji [3d\]: or all out
hfghfh: w r15 + followup looks like suicide
Epithany [6k\]: Yes - w not enough liberties
hfghfh: m12 looks premature but Bao Yun seems to think it is necessary to make his sequence work... hm which one?
Kiren [-\]: Hello
Epithany [6k\]: hi
Kiren [-\]: I'm right next to the game
Kiren [-\]: Watching
kjh97 [6d\]: not really premature
kjh97 [6d\]: was gonna happen anyway
Kiren [-\]: Black has 36 mins and white has 52
kjh97 [6d\]: how many players in the masters this year?
hfghfh: kjh97, "was gonna happen anyway" is not a good reason :-)
Kiren [-\]: 28 playing right now
Kiren [-\]: Some may have finished their games though
Kiren [-\]: And left
kjh97 [6d\]: well the sequence and timing of the atari is inconsequential so yeah
hfghfh: If I were playing the black stones I would be frightened now :-)
Epithany [6k\]: Unless W is wasting ko threats
kjh97 [6d\]: b is fine
hfghfh: kjh97, ok
r0n1n [-\]: how so, kjh ?
kjh97 [6d\]: i mean w push all the way won't kill b but lstill ooks very risky so if bao yun sees something could be bad
kjh97 [6d\]: i think w will come out better from this tho
r0n1n [-\]: i don't see how atari atari push doesn't kill black, so i must be overlooking smth
Xorax [1k\]: W cant read, he isnt blindfolded today
kjh97 [6d\]: p12 r12 q13 r15 s14 s15 p15 
r0n1n [-\]: but what about p16 o15 n15 o16 s13 after ? doesn't it kill ?
r0n1n [-\]: oh lol
r0n1n [-\]: yes i'm blind
kjh97 [6d\]: imo w will respond with n15 or something then separate and attack the b on the left side
]
;B[oh]
;W[qe]
;B[oe]C[kjh97 [6d\]: wait what
r0n1n [-\]: wha ?
Epithany [6k\]: blunder?
]
;W[qh]
;B[re]C[Jacaranda [1d\]: looks sloppy
]
;W[pg]C[lepan [1d\]: sente
r0n1n [-\]: well
kjh97 [6d\]: loool
r0n1n [-\]: can hardly consider b better off, but isn't this kinda the only option ?
Epithany [6k\]: Bad chice
Epithany [6k\]: choice*
kjh97 [6d\]: i mean still playable
kjh97 [6d\]: but damn
kjh97 [6d\]: hurts
r0n1n [-\]: but really, kjh, was there a better choice ?
dimmak [4d?\]: Bao Yun too strong 
Epithany [6k\]: Expensive sente
]
;B[lq]C[kjh97 [6d\]: not too sure
r0n1n [-\]: s14 s15 p15 p16 o15 o16 n15 q16 looks even more painful
]
;W[lp]C[momiji [3d\]: like a big hole in the side of your boat
dimmak [4d?\]: B needs reinforce center or k9 is coming 
]
;B[hl]C[dimmak [4d?\]: yes
Jacaranda [1d\]: b black not too bad off on territoty
Jacaranda [1d\]: it seems like still a long way to go
dimmak [4d?\]: B could die in center if not add move 
r0n1n [-\]: something bad is coing to happen to black's upper side
r0n1n [-\]: i'm pretty sure about that
dimmak [4d?\]: top side next if not continue attack
dimmak [4d?\]: yes, ronin, good feeling 
dimmak [4d?\]: take umbrella
dimmak [4d?\]: but still maybe k9 
dimmak [4d?\]: before top 
r0n1n [-\]: n17 maybe ?
dimmak [4d?\]: yes, I was thinking n17 also 
]
;W[nd]C[dimmak [4d?\]: nice
momiji [3d\]: shd be no prob for w to mop this up
dimmak [4d?\]: p16 (q16) n17 looks like 
dimmak [4d?\]: yes, ronin, this move better then n17
dimmak [4d?\]: n17 o16 would be good for B 
]
;B[oc]
;W[mc]
;B[me]C[dimmak [4d?\]: ladder not work now? 
dimmak [4d?\]: but small?
dimmak [4d?\]: i mean pulling out q16
]
;W[ne]C[dimmak [4d?\]: yes, looks forced seal of B top 
dimmak [4d?\]: so connect good 
]
;B[lc]C[kjh97 [6d\]: p16 
dimmak [4d?\]: B should collapse somewhere. 4 corners, alive center and 2 sides looks very strange result against Bao Yun 
dimmak [4d?\]: I would n18 here 
]
;W[od]C[kjh97 [6d\]: then l18?
kjh97 [6d\]: i think this was the best timing for p16
dimmak [4d?\]: looks B will lose corner or side 
kjh97 [6d\]: b can q17
kjh97 [6d\]: only choice imo
globax [3d\]: yep
momiji [3d\]: w rapidly making the 15 pts he needed
]
;B[pc]
;W[mb]
;B[md]C[dimmak [4d?\]: cool 
]
;W[kc]C[snow [3d\]: why cant black play Q16?
globax [3d\]: f17 now ?
dimmak [4d?\]: yes this combo I ment
dimmak [4d?\]: meant*

;W[lb]C[kjh97 [6d\]: dpm
kjh97 [6d\]: dont see how b can deal with this tbh

;B[lc]C[kjh97 [6d\]: ah b's done for
dimmak [4d?\]: k9 pls :)
snow [3d\]: L17 was too strong
]
;W[ik]
;B[kb]C[lepan [1d\]: o.O
dimmak [4d?\]: ok, dragon must die
kjh97 [6d\]: no
snow [3d\]: not sure why he does not play T6
snow [3d\]: or S1
dimmak [4d?\]: thats weak threats 
snow [3d\]: S1 is weak threat?
dimmak [4d?\]: yes
dimmak [4d?\]: center is biggest 
kjh97 [6d\]: w could go for a hard kill with k9 or just k7 and settle
awesome [3k\]: my sources says b dead in center
dimmak [4d?\]: yes, k9 or k7
dimmak [4d?\]: k9 would be fun shape :) 
kjh97 [6d\]: k9 looks tough for b
snow [3d\]: S1 is 25+ in sente 
dimmak [4d?\]: snow, s1 is just smaller than center  
kjh97 [6d\]: this is more than 25
kjh97 [6d\]: either way is good tho
snow [3d\]: I am pretty sure S1 was a threat lol
kjh97 [6d\]: yeah it is
lepan [1d\]: l18 was like: try to kill..
snow [3d\]: taking territory is always safer lol
kjh97 [6d\]: w has very limited risk in the middle
kjh97 [6d\]: he's just thinking of how to maximize his profits
jv [-\]: i think trying to kill and failing is a real risk
kjh97 [6d\]: the thing is he doesn't have to kill
kjh97 [6d\]: lol 
kjh97 [6d\]: b can live and w will be fine
jv [-\]: right but theres no way he isn't thinking about killing it
kjh97 [6d\]: yes
jv [-\]: so thats the danger :)
kjh97 [6d\]: for who?
jv [-\]: for W
jv [-\]: overlooking a clever way for B to live
kjh97 [6d\]: there isn't any danger
kjh97 [6d\]: either way w profits 
kjh97 [6d\]: enough
kjh97 [6d\]: would be a danger if win hinges on killing

;B[ij]C[dimmak [4d?\]: k9 now would be brilliant :)

dimmak [4d?\]: hane cut extend imo
honku [1d\]: empty ∆

;W[hj]C[dimmak [4d?\]: b must cut here
]
;B[hk]
;W[im]C[dimmak [4d?\]: yes!
dimmak [4d?\]: 5 moves in a row :)
momiji [3d\]: b thrashing
]
;B[hi]
;W[gj]C[jv [-\]: f16 being the only thing to run to is a definite problem
McMaster [-\]: pretty hard
jv [-\]: but when you're on a sinking ship the bare atoll looks pretty appealing :)
dimmak [4d?\]: W will be happy to escort this group to f16 safely :) 
dimmak [4d?\]: and even to f19 and to resign 
momiji [3d\]: when the bow is blown off, get ready to meet some sharks
dimmak [4d?\]: I would resign here, I see no way to make 2 eyes 
superpal1 [2d\]: me too

;B[gf]

;B[ii]
;W[gg]
;B[fg]C[mathmo [4d\]: is this ko?
dimmak [4d?\]: I think B wants to cut e13 stones for semiai
dimmak [4d?\]: looks like last chance
mathmo [4d\]: and W can't let that
kjh97 [6d\]: imo w would be pretty satisfied with just a c13 cut then b13
kjh97 [6d\]: definite win
mathmo [4d\]: so after F14 H13, either G15 or F12
kjh97 [6d\]: but w prob will wanna kill it
mathmo [4d\]: if F12, it seems to be ko
superpal1 [2d\]: h13
dimmak [4d?\]: yes, that will be W + 15 around 
dimmak [4d?\]: c13 and b13 
Cool [2k\]: f12 
mathmo [4d\]: though B doesn't have many liberties, W seems to have even less, so I tink H13 or F11 doesn't work
mathmo [4d\]: i meant H13 or G12
gonzales [?\]: g12
mathmo [4d\]: if W plays G12 and lets B into his area that will be spectacular
Dino9 [-\]: are aga pros participating in this tournament?
kjh97 [6d\]: yes
dimmak [4d?\]: I thought B read g12 f11 e11f12 f13 e12 d12 c13 f17 scenario 
mathmo [4d\]: but what if g12 f11 F12
]
;W[fh]
;B[hg]C[mathmo [4d\]: I doubt if that works for W
]
;W[ff]C[mathmo [4d\]: W plays for ko
momiji [3d\]: w ahead anyway
dimmak [4d?\]: then e10 sente and maybe something in middle 
kjh97 [6d\]: 0 risk game for w
kjh97 [6d\]: win secured
mathmo [4d\]: hmm, I'm being stupid
dimmak [4d?\]: f12 is game over for W in that scenario 
mathmo [4d\]: its not even ko is it
mathmo [4d\]: B is still dead
dimmak [4d?\]: yes, B dead long time already
]
;B[gh]C[mathmo [4d\]: B has J13 though
mathmo [4d\]: but no liberties, so B is unconditionally dead
kjh97 [6d\]: with j12 in atari he can possibly live with l6
]
;W[ge]
;B[fi]
;W[ei]
;B[hf]C[mathmo [4d\]: I think W misread
mathmo [4d\]: L6 doesn't look like it works
]
;W[cd]C[kjh97 [6d\]: how so
mathmo [4d\]: you need an eye in sente
]
;B[bd]
;W[ie]C[grumpyjoe [-\]: looks like it is possible w can win without killing
kjh97 [6d\]: with j12 in atari it would be fine i think m5 can be used
kjh97 [6d\]: that was pertaining to the previous variation ofc
kjh97 [6d\]: huh nice kill
mathmo [4d\]: why didn't B capture the ko
kjh97 [6d\]: irrelevant now
kjh97 [6d\]: dead
mathmo [4d\]: instead of H14
kjh97 [6d\]: not sente
mathmo [4d\]: seriously?
gonzales [?\]: j15 is nice
mathmo [4d\]: hmm, ok, so if capture ko, then W J15 kills anyway
kjh97 [6d\]: yeap
mathmo [4d\]: hmm, that can't be right
dimmak [4d?\]: nice reading mathmo
USGO2 [-\]: black resigns
dimmak [4d?\]: thanks
dimmak [4d?\]: cool! 
mathmo [4d\]: instead of H14, if F13 J15 E12 D12, H15 H12
USGO2 [-\]: Thank you all for watching
mathmo [4d\]: W has too many cutting points, so it would be ko
kjh97 [6d\]: why h12
kjh97 [6d\]: nah
mathmo [4d\]: to prevent B H12 for ko
kjh97 [6d\]: just g16 
kjh97 [6d\]: bottom has no eye
dimmak [4d?\]: mathmo, really, why you have 4d and not 4k I don't understand 
mathmo [4d\]: oh yeah, I keep forgetting
mathmo [4d\]: yeah yeah
mathmo [4d\]: sorry
kjh97 [6d\]: lol chill
