]
;B[qh]C[rubicon [3d\]: hmm i wonder how b answers w s2
]
;W[dk]C[namgung [1d\]: with s3 ?
rubicon [3d\]: S2 S3 R2 R3 Q1 S8 S9 T7, sure
xyzw [2k\]: i would think s2 r2
rubicon [3d\]: maybe its too small now
rubicon [3d\]: S2 R2 R1 is very bad, xy
xyzw [2k\]: oops, yeah, i didn't look closely, thought r1 would then just be a reduction... but it actually kills
rubicon [3d\]: even S2 R2 S3 R3 Q1 R1 S7 looks very dangerous :P
rubicon [3d\]: so yeah, i think s2 s3 like namgung said
RobertT [-\]: r2 becomes a wasted move
snow [3d\]: white can play R3 first
snow [3d\]: if black R2, white plays S7
namgung [1d\]: yhen b s6 and ...
]
;B[nn]C[snow [3d\]: S6, S3
]
;W[nl]C[namgung [1d\]: s2
snow [3d\]: S4 sente
]
;B[cp]C[snow [3d\]: check it offline, black's corner is dead
namgung [1d\]: bllack can s8 no ?
namgung [1d\]: ok i will, thx
snow [3d\]: yeah but the Q2 group is dead
]
;W[cq]
;B[co]
;W[bq]C[snow [3d\]: after white T2
rubicon [3d\]: R3 S3 S2 R2 R1 S8 S9 T7, b is fine
namgung [1d\]: ok thx
rubicon [3d\]: yeah q2 can die
snow [3d\]: I agree no point in playing there
snow [3d\]: no life and death issues
rubicon [3d\]: well, it will be big
]
;B[bl]C[rubicon [3d\]: specially because it makes the w group weaker
snow [3d\]: spending a move there is not worth now
rubicon [3d\]: but maybe b s2 is too slow so i dont know really
rubicon [3d\]: yeah i agree snow
]
;W[bk]C[rubicon [3d\]: its too small now

]
;W[dq]C[rubicon [3d\]: b feels very light on the left
rubicon [3d\]: not sure how ryan will handle it

First [2k\]: I don't see any europeans
]
;B[oe]C[rayheart [?\]: In US Masters?
rubicon [3d\]: thats because its USGO, not EGF
USGO2 [-\]: No, On Sojin's commenting will only be on KGS, rayheart.
rayheart [?\]: Thanks
]
;W[pe]
;B[pf]
;W[ne]
;B[lc]
;W[of]C[rubicon [3d\]: O12 ?
snow [3d\]: why did he not connect at P14?
]
;B[nh]
;W[le]C[rubicon [3d\]: because of w m17
spot [3k\]: y but b could kill Q15 first
snow [3d\]: my reading is that black can play M18
rubicon [3d\]: q15 isnt as big, w lives on top
spot [3k\]: i guess w was hoping for sacrifice and destroying the top
spot [3k\]: now w has to run
]
;B[ke]C[rubicon [3d\]: w is almost alive
spot [3k\]: it's my best explanation, i would have connected too
]
;W[lg]C[rubicon [3d\]: N14 i guess?
First [2k\]: in european tournament there was american and asian
rubicon [3d\]: maybe o14
rubicon [3d\]: or tenuki
]
;B[gr]C[snow [3d\]: R10 is big
spot [3k\]: can't b divide 2 weak w groups ?
rubicon [3d\]: well, w's lower right group is only weak if b plays s2, i think
snow [3d\]: I think black is better
rubicon [3d\]: seems pretty close to me
debutant5k: I would lose playing either colour

;W[fr]
;B[gq]
;W[gp]
;B[eo]
;W[hq]
;B[hr]
;W[fp]C[dsgfdsfj: d10 dead?
jv [-\]: b shape at f6 is making me very suspicious
rubicon [3d\]: d10 is dead now, yes
jv [-\]: not really dead, just...forsaken
rubicon [3d\]: well, b can play lots of forcing moves, sure
debutant5k: H9
snow [3d\]: black 46, white 36, but white has some potential around E12 area
rayheart [?\]: First this is the US Masaters not the open tournament.
]
;B[ml]C[doubt [9k?\]: Are the stones being gingerly placed?
First [2k\]: but in golf the us masters is open I believe
USGO2 [-\]: Yes, definitely.
jv [-\]: they should be
jv [-\]: this is not the position to be slamming moves
xDragon [?\]: The Masters is the most restrictive major
]
;W[mk]
;B[lk]C[USGO2 [-\]: Wu Hao returns to the table after a break and immediately plays his move.
]
;W[mj]C[snow [3d\]: really like ryan's move
]
;B[lj]C[jv [-\]: n8 you mean?
snow [3d\]: yeah
]
;W[rf]C[snow [3d\]: super nice way to take care of his J6 group
jv [-\]: yeah if it works its solving a lot of problems
]
;B[sd]
;W[mi]
;B[gj]
;W[fj]
;B[ll]
;W[sg]C[sedgwick [?\]: a9 sente against lower left b corner right?
sedgwick [?\]: s9
sedgwick [?\]: so hard to avoid ko here
chrono [2d\]: s13 
]
;B[rg]C[chrono [2d\]: if t15, respond with s16 
]
;W[rr]
;B[rq]
;W[rk]C[sedgwick [?\]: b q1 and w just t11
jv [-\]: still hard to believe that s18 is somehow under attack
jv [-\]: that group seemed pretty bulletproof
sedgwick [?\]: not reallys18 under attack, it is q14 stones
snow [3d\]: what if black plays S11 now
lodestone [3k\]: Is the R4 group safe?
jv [-\]: q1 then...i dont think thats a living shape?
snow [3d\]: q1, S7, S5, S8
snow [3d\]: i think white can play S10 if black plays S11 though
sedgwick [?\]: if w s8 then b s6 is alive
sedgwick [?\]: s5
snow [3d\]: black needs to get s8 to live
jv [-\]: snow i think w t9 may still be sente against both in that
USGO2 [-\]: Li has ten minutes of basic time remaining.
jv [-\]: or s10
snow [3d\]: if you white t9, black s10?
snow [3d\]: a lot of reading
jv [-\]: yeah we'd have to create a board
snow [3d\]: I think s11 workd
snow [3d\]: works*
KoyoToya [2k\]: Time for each?
USGO2 [-\]: Black has just over seven minutes of basic time left.
snow [3d\]: s11, s10, t11, t12, s12,r13, t14, t15
USGO2 [-\]: I can't see white's side of the clock, but he has much more. I'll let you know if Ryan checks.
jv [-\]: yeah i cant refute s11 due to t12 throwin
jv [-\]: it does let w connect s2 nicely in sente though
jv [-\]: which may be the entire goal
USGO2 [-\]: Black has five minutes remaining.
]
;B[rm]
;W[sh]C[jv [-\]: hrm isnt q1 much bigger than s7?
TwPrcntMlk [2k\]: time to yolo
]
;B[dh]C[snow [3d\]: i checked offline, I think S11 does not work because white can play t9
snow [3d\]: if black plays s10, white plays t7
snow [3d\]: and black is dead
]
;W[dg]C[jv [-\]: oh does t9 just flat out kill the shape?
USGO2 [-\]: Just a reminder that On Sojin 7p is providing commentary on this very game in USGO10. :)
KoyoToya [2k\]: Ooooo
]
;B[eg]C[KoyoToya [2k\]: On Sonjin is a cool guy
snow [3d\]: the idea is after white play t7, if black blocks at Q1, white plays r2, black R3, and white t4
]
;W[sf]
;B[eh]C[jv [-\]: w t5 would also work in this case due to a shortage of libs
jv [-\]: interesting
]
;W[fd]C[snow [3d\]: eh, t5 would not
snow [3d\]: black plays t2 and then t4
]
;B[gd]C[snow [3d\]: t4 is a vital point
]
;W[jg]C[USGO2 [-\]: Black has one minute of basic time.
snow [3d\]: well actually i was wrong
snow [3d\]: it is simple, white plays S7 simply if black plays on the other side
Abraxas [15k\]: go ryan
USGO2 [-\]: Black enters byo yomi.

]
;B[jj]C[snow [3d\]: I am not sure if s7 was a mistake from ryan
snow [3d\]: he could have made alive at Q1
rayheart [?\]: Without S7 he is dead
snow [3d\]: i was saying intead of play s7, he could have played Q1
USGO11 [-\]: w is 5-10 ahead on the board
]
;W[do]
;B[cb]
;W[bb]C[snow [3d\]: why does white not even play d6
dsgfdsfj: l5
snow [3d\]: it is sente for both
]
;B[dn]
;W[an]C[snow [3d\]: oh wait 
snow [3d\]: actually not lol
]
