Lutealis: why is andy
Lutealis: who*
Lutealis: oh, zhi yuan
]
;W[lr]C[superpal1 [2d\]: s3 can live?
Lutealis: m2 is 2pro4me
vaansama [2d?\]: "Can"?..
superpal1 [2d\]: means w can still kil...
vaansama [2d?\]: B turn..
superpal1 [2d\]: yes but s3 is noit yet alive for b
JustPanda [?\]: corner is locally already dead?
]
;B[rq]C[phillip18 [7k\]: its ko i think
Lutealis: killing looks bad for w
]
;W[rr]C[Lutealis: i'm wondering what w will play locally since he played m2
apocalypse [?\]: wow
Lutealis: is it really the hane and head butt?
Lutealis: i guess even kyu moves are good sometimes
Lice [6d?\]: is this a missread?
superpal1 [2d\]: seems so
superpal1 [2d\]: b can just s1
]
;B[rs]C[Cassis0 [5d\]: I doubt it's a missread
Lutealis: w not interested in a super small corner
donner [2d\]: t2
Lutealis: and letting b get both sides
Lutealis: and ending up in gote
Cassis0 [5d\]: with s4 t3  b had a ko huge life too
superpal1 [2d\]: either alive or link to r7 stone
iceweasel [-\]: std seq to capture Q3
apocalypse [?\]: s2 is the best way to reduce the liberties i think?
superpal1 [2d\]: after b alive w group have to run
superpal1 [2d\]: 2 weak groups
]
;W[sr]C[Lutealis: w bottom probably lives in sente or with severe defects in b's shape
]
;B[sq]C[donner [2d\]: p1
namtg [1k\]: p1 t1 q1 s5 
Lutealis: better than to get sealed in the corner with 10 points
superpal1 [2d\]: oh i see something
superpal1 [2d\]: maybe w can kill
Clavicule [3d\]: are they american pros or chinese ?
superpal1 [2d\]: i see wrong
superpal1 [2d\]: lol
superpal1 [2d\]: b live
gaxxlol [6k\]: I think B is an AGA pro, W is Chinese
superpal1 [2d\]: i sw shaking his head?
superpal1 [2d\]: is w?
ML [2d\]: can´t be good for w
roy [3k\]: disaster
USGO1 [-\]: White is deep in thought, no head shaking
RudolfBorn [3d\]: double hane?
donner [2d\]: b can connect underneath
dartaluc [3d\]: p1 t1 q1 s5 s4 t4s6 r6 q5 t5 s2 t2 q1
donner [2d\]: but w can take 4 b stones
JustPanda [?\]: b can connect and w can capture a little
Clavicule [3d\]: up to o2 it's a standard sequence, white has probably played this before, can't be bad
dartaluc [3d\]: whit can connect but unsatifactory
superpal1 [2d\]: its looks pretty bad for w
roy [3k\]: by double hane do you mean L4 L5 K5?
Lice [6d?\]: oh.. he can connect indeed...
superpal1 [2d\]: how do u cut the 4 stones?
]
;W[kp]C[superpal1 [2d\]: so w sacrifice the five stones...
Cassis0 [5d\]: w felt in b trap
Lutealis: i'd feel a trap too
debutant5k: black O7
superpal1 [2d\]: b is thinking whether to l5
phillip18 [7k\]: id personally play n7
superpal1 [2d\]: kills off m3 stones n q5 stones
Lice [6d?\]: a wait w cannot kill q2
roy [3k\]: L5
Lice [6d?\]: p1 t1 q1 s6 
superpal1 [2d\]: yes already say its alive earlier
Lice [6d?\]: nvm he can kill..
Lice [6d?\]: so w seems very much alright
Cassis0 [5d\]: fell* :x
]
;B[ko]
;W[os]C[roy [3k\]: how can w kill corner?
superpal1 [2d\]: w need to gote live isnt it?
kjh97 [6d\]: w can take the 4 stones
Clavicule [3d\]: kill four stones in gote yeah
roy [3k\]: worth it if those 4 stones cut 2 weak groups
roy [3k\]: i don't see how though
dartaluc [3d\]: p1 t1 q1 s5 s4 t4s6 r6 q5 t5 s2 t2 q1 / or / p1 t1 q1 t6 s4 t4...
superpal1 [2d\]: l5 means b 4 stones live
Lice [6d?\]: they don't
kjh97 [6d\]: lol
Lice [6d?\]: l4 l5 is weird trade though
]
;B[ss]
;W[rr]C[superpal1 [2d\]: t2
Lice [6d?\]: guess since b won't care about m4 after w connects?
Lice [6d?\]: and taking l4 by ladder is painful somehow
kjh97 [6d\]: slow
Lice [6d?\]: (painful for b)
roy [3k\]: oh i see those 4 stones i thought you mean N4
]
;B[sr]
;W[ps]C[roy [3k\]: y black can save just the edge
superpal1 [2d\]: this doesnt kill b
kjh97 [6d\]: lol sure
donner [2d\]: s6
Neamtujose [3k\]: S5
superpal1 [2d\]: s5 is ko?
kjh97 [6d\]: impossible ko
kjh97 [6d\]: no threat
Neamtujose [3k\]: no ko
ezpz [3d\]: w takes r2
Neamtujose [3k\]: yes
superpal1 [2d\]: lol w kills
superpal1 [2d\]: power 2p
vaansama [2d?\]: Lee sedol can lose 30 stone un one time and win
Clavicule [3d\]: there's some possibility of k2 sente later :\]
superpal1 [2d\]: lose 30 stones to who? kejie? n then win back?
dartaluc [3d\]: maybe b should s5 to surround white and take the center but this is gote
Beijingboy [2d\]: Wow, this is interesting
ezpz [3d\]: k2 will never be sente
ezpz [3d\]: for b 
donner [2d\]: it does at move 153
superpal1 [2d\]: lol
superpal1 [2d\]: so b does not know this variation well so he lose grounds to w
Clavicule [3d\]: after white captures 4 stones k2 is sente locally against the second eye no ?
ezpz [3d\]: no
superpal1 [2d\]: its already alive after eating 4 stones
bees [3d\]: but who cares about k2 if w connects out
ezpz [3d\]: ah, maybe
superpal1 [2d\]: w will react to k2 also
Clavicule [3d\]: could be important regarding the lower left corner
superpal1 [2d\]: but will b react?
Morla [2d?\]: w doenst connect
superpal1 [2d\]: k2 maybe sente
]
;B[ns]
;W[ms]C[kjh97 [6d\]: it may be sente but it won't help much
kjh97 [6d\]: especially now with l4 w can connect l3 and b's shape will be disjointed
superpal1 [2d\]: u mean disconnect?
bees [3d\]: b should just l3 himself
kjh97 [6d\]: no not disconnected, but not fully connected and left with cutting points so not beneficial for b
Stephan186 [6k?\]: can b k3?
kjh97 [6d\]: b also needs to connect his 5 stones and he can't do everything
dartaluc [3d\]: o1 really nice
kjh97 [6d\]: not much use imo
superpal1 [2d\]: ok thanks for explaining
Clavicule [3d\]: connecting the 5 stones is sente isn't it ?
gryholt [8k\]: s5 needed now?
Clavicule [3d\]: white has to sacrifice one stone to capture the 4
kjh97 [6d\]: yes but he can only get sente from one side lol
]
;B[mq]
;W[ns]C[Morla [2d?\]: s5 is wrong fo connetion
jollyroger [4k\]: Has black used a lot more time than white?
kjh97 [6d\]: now b is pretty screwed
mafutrct [-\]: B looks in trouble, maybe misread?
USGO1 [-\]: White: 75 mins left, Black 60 mins left
bigfry [?\]: even if white kills the 4 stones, he isn't even alive yet....
dartaluc [3d\]: maybe he expected white n2 
kjh97 [6d\]: nah
mafutrct [-\]: Killing 4 is easy
dartaluc [3d\]: n2 l3 l2 r1?
kjh97 [6d\]: if he wanted that he could have just done n3 first not sure what b was thinking
kjh97 [6d\]: now w kills 4 stones in sente
bigfry [?\]: i dont see how white kills the 4 black stones in sente
mafutrct [-\]: Such a big mistake so early
]
;B[kq]
;W[qs]
;B[fc]C[mafutrct [-\]: You guys are reading s5 s6 right?
kjh97 [6d\]: because if b tried running 5 stones w could do a push and clamp 
bigfry [?\]: what about s6
kjh97 [6d\]: then kill is already secured by then
kjh97 [6d\]: if s6 just s4 then hane t5
kjh97 [6d\]: then also no more moves needed
kittjn [-\]: how it can be good for b?
kjh97 [6d\]: it can't lol
mafutrct [-\]: I meant w s6, same as you write :)
psygo [1d\]: i think in-seong discussed this variation in his videos
llllldf: 我的好兄弟
bigfry [?\]: its black s6 not white
bees [3d\]: i think b mistake was answering l4 with l5
bees [3d\]: maybe should have l3 
kjh97 [6d\]: b s6 when?
bees [3d\]: to limit w libs
]
;W[qf]C[Lice [6d?\]: t5 is the key point after s6
Beijingboy [2d\]: 谁呀？
profan [4k\]: isnt s2 enough as libs?
mafutrct [-\]: No i meant just the same. Both b s5 and s6 fail
llllldf: bigfry
llllldf: 黑棋已经输了，很难受
mafutrct [-\]: Sorry cellphone are so slow to type
superpal1 [2d\]: relax, b haven lost, if so he will resign, dont worry
bees [3d\]: technically w is not alive IF s3 connects out
superpal1 [2d\]: how does s3 connect out?
lo [8k\]: only in ko
profan [4k\]: by ko maybe or big furikawari
superpal1 [2d\]: what is the sequence to ko
lo [8k\]: there is no ko yet
Timk [-\]: begin with s5 i suppose ?
bees [3d\]: s5 s4 t4 s6 r5 t6 
Timk [-\]: yes
superpal1 [2d\]: yes
superpal1 [2d\]: but its hard to win for b
profan [4k\]: but connection doesnt kill if w runs out
Mukti [3d\]: There is no ko: BS3, W push, BT4, WS6, BR6 and then w has a tesuji avoiding ko at T6.
Timk [-\]: it's more like yose now
]
;B[qe]
;W[pf]C[dartaluc [3d\]: this group is too difficult for b to kill
llllldf: if b connects out at s5
dartaluc [3d\]: white can give up the ko and there is a second eye at q3 when taking r2 back (by another ko)
llllldf: w will tenuki
Mukti [3d\]: There is no ko.
dartaluc [3d\]: or just pushing at l2
llllldf: also
llllldf: how can he even connect out
Clavicule [3d\]: s5 s4 t4 s6 r6 t6 s7 r5 t7 
superpal1 [2d\]: y r5?
ThienTru [-\]: R15?
ThienTru [-\]: Why r15?
]
;B[nd]
;W[qi]
;B[cf]
;W[fd]C[psygo [1d\]: r15 seems to weaken black's stones, i'm very puzzled
Mukti [3d\]: That's a nice tesuji, Clavicule I missed it.
superpal1 [2d\]: r5 should be s8
]
;B[gd]
;W[fe]C[lo [8k\]: seems black just wanted sente 
ThienTru [-\]: Maybe r15 should be r12
bees [3d\]: lol not everything is tesuji
superpal1 [2d\]: or i see wrong?
ThienTru [-\]: B has q9 and r7 weak
ThienTru [-\]: M17 still can invade
ThienTru [-\]: ...
ThienTru [-\]: Some new strategies?
Clavicule [3d\]: the ladder at l4 also has bad aji…
ThienTru [-\]: Maybe he has bad state
]
;B[dc]C[mafutrct [-\]: L4 Then b descend no ladder
Clavicule [3d\]: if black tries to save 5 stones in the corner, l2 might not be sente anymore later
bees [3d\]: now that w has r11 b has less incentive to save s3
Clavicule [3d\]: true
bees [3d\]: so just points
USGO1 [-\]: Both players have left the table
ThienTru [-\]: Oh
bees [3d\]: lol what
bees [3d\]: how much time left
Kiren [-\]: Lol it's true
ThienTru [-\]: Take a rest?
lo [8k\]: both escaped
Kiren [-\]: Whies clock is running at 1:02 minutes left
Kiren [-\]: White's
ThienTru [-\]: So q9 and r7 like aji now
renkfull [5k\]: can someone wake white up pls
]
;W[cc]C[Kiren [-\]: White played
renkfull [5k\]: ty
Kiren [-\]: They are now both back
ThienTru [-\]: And b try to do something in the top
bees [3d\]: the more i look at it, looks like b should reply l4 with l3
]
;B[ec]
;W[cd]C[ThienTru [-\]: I thought w choose e17 not c17 :3
ThienTru [-\]: So w keep the corner
lo [8k\]: is the cut possible here ?
ThienTru [-\]: Still can invade b's land later
Clavicule [3d\]: e16 or g17 ?
lo [8k\]: e16 , it is black's move
]
;B[cm]C[ThienTru [-\]: @@
ThienTru [-\]: Wow
Clavicule [3d\]: i think black is supposed to add a move on the upper side before cutting
lo [8k\]: never mind, I don't get those pro moves anyway
Kiren [-\]: Alpha go style
Clavicule [3d\]: otherwise white can counter cut and b can only atari below
ThienTru [-\]: Touch :))
profan [4k\]: i cant see if black is setting mines or weakness
]
;W[dm]C[bees [3d\]: b needs a move on either side if he wants to cut
]
;B[cl]
;W[dl]C[bees [3d\]: no time anyway
ThienTru [-\]: Maybe he thinks he cant win if he play normal?
Sakeus [5k\]: I hate how i can't replay the moves on my phone 
darkronin [-\]: A weak alternative for replay is: go to gokgs archives, find game by player, download, open with (other) sgf editor like the dragon sgf viewer 
]
;B[ck]
;W[ch]C[ThienTru [-\]: Can open sgf by BW-Go free
kittjn [-\]: c12 stronk
