;B[fq]C[r0n1n [-\]: l17 looks fairly big, doesn't it ?
]
;W[jq]C[Arnaud99 [2k\]: agree around L17 is huge
weiqi1 [?\]: normally W will invade once B will add some move in that area
weiqi1 [?\]: g17 possible also imo
r0n1n [-\]: well, sure he can wait, but would it really be profitable to wait ?
weiqi1 [?\]: k17 looks better then l17 to me 
r0n1n [-\]: yeah, i meant k17*

;B[cb]
;W[cf]
;B[lc]
;W[fb]
;B[eb]C[getlost: die in honor is a strategy
Genghis [2k\]: it is a very popular strategy
donner [2d\]: b waits, till w run out of gas
getlost: usually played out till the end
r0n1n [-\]: i still don't see why m2 j3 is the correct order of moves for white
]
;W[gd]C[donner [2d\]: b plays amashi strategy
]
;B[cl]C[BlueDeck [?\]: b waits for what exactly ? Is it a fight-oriented strategy ? white has five groups, but  none looks really weak
]
;W[cj]C[honku [2d\]: probably because if W would go to the left, B would become stronger and attack C3-D6 stones
]
;B[co]C[BlueDeck [?\]: amashi would be white strategy, in this case
r0n1n [-\]: black is thicker everywhere on the board, it will pay off before the endgame
profan [4k\]: they move fast
donner [2d\]: amashi not bound to color
BlueDeck [?\]: usually "amashi strategy" means you take the point, and leave to the opponent to find what to do with thickness. So in this case it would be white strategy
honku [2d\]: http://senseis.xmp.net/?Amashi
donner [2d\]: amashi is letting the other player to do what he wants, but coming out ahead in the end
BlueDeck [?\]: finally black moves on to attack
donner [2d\]: see go players almanac 2001
r0n1n [-\]: feels natural
Hellhuman [?\]: E3
]
;W[do]
;B[cn]
;W[dm]C[grumpyjoe [-\]: w plays really fast
Dupaaxe [?\]: Nobi is a good strategy :)
r0n1n [-\]: w took about 3 minutes after c5 , probably no need to take time every move
r0n1n [-\]: plus, the real fight will require more time than opening
Hellhuman [?\]: B top left strong enough?
Hellhuman [?\]: Yeah it is
dfan [3k\]: I remember at last year's congress in one of Andy's lectures he said that he was trying to spend less time on the opening, because so many moves are fine
r0n1n [-\]: black has one sente eye on the top left, if he really needs to live
r0n1n [-\]: haha, it sounds about right
getlost: one eye is enough in a race vs noeye
r0n1n [-\]: and two eyes are enough in a race versus one or zero eye
getlost: yes
getlost: you are strong
r0n1n [-\]: time to c4 ?
r0n1n [-\]: c7 c4 looks somehow uncomfortable to me
darkronin [-\]: maybe there are some weird sheaningans around b12 
r0n1n [-\]: maybe it's still okay if d4 half works
awiuaw [-\]: d4 possible?
r0n1n [-\]: i meant, after c7 c4 
r0n1n [-\]: d4 right away, i'm not quite sure
saiiii [2d\]: c7 
awiuaw [-\]: d4 c4 d3
r0n1n [-\]: yes, that i can read

r0n1n [-\]: john who ?
ThienTru [-\]: John who? :))
weiqi1 [?\]: same pronounce 
BlueDeck [?\]: Why A6 instead of B6 ? any particular reason ?
MaxM [2k\]: eye?
ThienTru [-\]: Eye shape :3
darkronin [-\]: ko stuff around a8 later, maybe
ThienTru [-\]: Yeaj
grumpyjoe [-\]: someone should create a standard to put an asterick or some other glyph on last names
grumpyjoe [-\]: for all international events
r0n1n [-\]: c2 e2 b4 causes more troubles if a6 is at b6 , bluedeck
darkronin [-\]: like this? W* H*?

;B[br]C[coconut [3k\]: lets see that :)

ThienTru [-\]: Just make more liberty for c2?
coconut [3k\]: c2 e2 
ThienTru [-\]: Sr 
ThienTru [-\]: C3
]
;W[al]C[kjh97 [6d\]: i guess w was just looking for an efficient way to capture c8
jollyroger [4k\]: did all three boards start at the same time?
USGO1 [-\]: Yes, within a minute or two
