Xorax [-\]: all the people sandbagging with ai
Xorax [-\]: :D
dddddd: but tygem seems to retain its users, although it has 4 top bots
JustPanda [-\]: because everyone left for tygem ^^
kannikka [3k\]: tygem also supports asian players. kgs is mainly western players I think
dddddd: but that is how it has always been
ThiGar [3k\]: the cut j9 could be leaning attack aginst  q11
dddddd: ?
McMaster [-\]: Please keep your comments on this game.

Taro [-\]: thanks
]
;W[mf]
;B[lg]
;W[of]
;B[mi]C[domie [-\]: 5/30 is 5x30 sec ?
dddddd: yikes this commentary has turned full chinese ;)
Taro [-\]: 30 moves in 5 minutes seems way too fast, so 5x30s seems likely
]
;W[cf]C[domie [-\]: true Taro :)
]
;B[am]C[USGO1 [-\]: yeah, sorry...not Canadian byo-yomi
Xorax [-\]: can W cut with l13?
domie [-\]: hmmm A7 ?
domie [-\]: just to play a monkey jump ?
]
;W[ro]
;B[rp]C[Xorax [-\]: make life and can play b10?
]
;W[rn]C[Taro [-\]: Xorax, yes but it's hard to tell if the cutting stone will be useful afterwards
]
;B[rq]C[Taro [-\]: domie, A7 made life for the group
domie [-\]: do you mean the group was dead before ?
Xorax [-\]: was ko
kannikka [3k\]: it was ko for life. 
domie [-\]: oh
Xorax [-\]: with W b5
]
;W[ij]
;B[lh]
;W[ik]C[Xorax [-\]: no l13 :(
Taro [-\]: this cut is big and the L14 cut is still a possibility
]
;B[hh]
;W[lm]C[USGO1 [-\]: White seems to be pushing the pace.
]
;B[kn]C[domie [-\]: but before A7, if W plays A5 
]
;W[ih]
;B[hg]
;W[hi]C[kannikka [3k\]: maybe cut at F15 next?
domie [-\]: then B answers B5 and W plays A6, so this is dead 
snoopy [1d\]: k11
]
;B[gf]C[Taro [-\]: domie, white just start at B5 for the ko
domie [-\]: yes I read that but I am wondering what happens if W plays A5
Xorax [-\]: a5 -> a6 ?
Xorax [-\]: can make more eyes along the side
domie [-\]: ok Xorax, thx
dddddd: aren't there usually 4 or 5 usgos?
dddddd: what about the other top games xd
Taro [-\]: i agree with Xorax' sequence
]
;W[ib]C[USGO1 [-\]: Black is now in byo-yomi time.
]
;B[gi]
;W[gj]C[dddddd: b10 smells huge for b
]
;B[ji]C[ligo [5k\]: quality beats quantity
]
;W[ii]C[Xorax [-\]: unless you are counting points :D
ligo [5k\]: ;)
]
;B[pj]C[domie [-\]: :D
USGO1 [-\]: Black lost a byo-yomi period because the clock's sound setting was at minimum, but has corrected the sound now.
]
;W[ar]C[dddddd: thats always tilting
]
;B[ao]C[peteg [2d?\]: Thats sad when technical difficulties get in the way.
kannikka [3k\]: someone could call sabotage
USGO1 [-\]: Black has 4 periods of 30 seconds left now.
dddddd: honestly b15 felt bigger than q10
]
;W[sf]
;B[qd]C[dddddd: and b10 as well
]
;W[kr]C[ThiGar [3k\]: could the umpire be called to give b back his byo-yomi period?
]
;B[is]
;W[rd]
;B[sc]C[dddddd: no way
dddddd: sadly
peteg [2d?\]: hopefully won't be an issue.
dddddd: it shouldn't be one at this point in the game
kannikka [3k\]: well, its already an issue
]
;W[ph]
;B[oh]
;W[qh]C[Xorax [-\]: ah
Xorax [-\]: thought W had gone insane
Xorax [-\]: if he started that ko
domie [-\]: lol
]
;B[qj]C[Loop [3k\]: f11 sente
Pete [1k\]: Any ideas as to who is winning?
ligo [5k\]: insane is bad strategy
Loop [3k\]: b
]
;W[rj]C[Pete [1k\]: that's my thought as well, B is ahead, but i'm bad at counting
ThiGar [3k\]: it's very close
]
;B[pk]C[dddddd: if b gets b10
]
;W[ql]C[dddddd: he should win
Loop [3k\]: *i dont know, talk about f11 !
]
;B[fi]
;W[fg]
;B[fh]C[Xorax [-\]: is there a cut around k13?
ThiGar [3k\]: j15?
Xorax [-\]: if W wanna eat k14 and everything with it
dddddd: no
]
;W[lj]C[Xorax [-\]: wait
Xorax [-\]: its already cut off
Xorax [-\]: just steal all the eyes and win :D
USGO1 [-\]: black has 3 periods now
mojomonkey [4k\]: yeah the middle group is looking dicey now
Xorax [-\]: perfect time to go for a weird kill then
]
;B[li]
;W[kj]C[mojomonkey [4k\]: i think as long as black can live there, he should be winning

;B[mj]
;W[nk]
;B[mk]
;W[nl]C[Pete [1k\]: this is pretty wild
ThiGar [3k\]: yes
mojomonkey [4k\]: w's win condition is to murder this group?
]
;B[ni]
;W[bd]C[mojomonkey [4k\]: or make enough points on the left
]
;B[cd]
;W[ch]
;B[id]
;W[hb]C[USGO1 [-\]: black has 2 periods now
ThiGar [3k\]: h18 sente on d17?
]
;B[og]
;W[bc]C[ThiGar [3k\]: i guess so
]
;B[bb]
;W[ab]C[Xorax [-\]: he gotta pull back
Xorax [-\]: uh
Xorax [-\]: b can b15?
jon641 [1k\]: dies
Holub [1d\]: this works for b right ?
]
;B[df]C[Xorax [-\]: I wonder what weird stuff these 2 see
Taro [-\]: B15 alone does not work for black
]
;W[dg]C[jimmy [1d?\]: White to kill...
Xorax [-\]: what would W do after b15 here?
]
;B[ef]C[ThiGar [3k\]: weird white web
]
;W[fe]
;B[de]
;W[cb]
;B[eg]C[Taro [-\]: huge success for white
bsaltman [5k\]: u meanb
Taro [-\]: i mean white, the black corner territory is gone and in sente no less
Pete [1k\]: the youtube commentators agree, W gains in the corner
Pete [1k\]: B gets not much in return
Xorax [-\]: e2 or q19?
]
;W[pb]
;B[bj]C[mojomonkey [4k\]: that corner is absolutely enormous
mojomonkey [4k\]: to pick up that many points in endgame
]
;W[cm]
;B[bk]
;W[bl]
;B[al]C[kikikik: white got 5 points in the corner and broke 5 of blacks points, meanwhile b got j16 and b10 so this was actually good for b
]
;W[me]
;B[sg]
;W[rg]C[Taro [-\]: B10 is gote, he didn't get it for free
]
;B[fj]
;W[gk]C[Xorax [-\]: but I get the feeling b10 was always B's move?
]
;B[bg]C[kikikik: if black  blocked at b17 instead of c16, and then white got the b10 stone i think black loses on that trade
Bahji [4k\]: Game live streamed?
]
;W[cg]
;B[bh]
;W[ci]C[ThiGar [3k\]: after b d13, w could have just a9 and keep the whole side
