Nonooo [2d\]: dont think there are any AGA non 1p pros
afgani [3d\]: so a chinese  pro  is  playing  in  the american  tournament?
qgo [4k\]: to prevent tariff war
Pooka [?\]: the us OPEN

rats [?\]: should be rather even
adsdada: i like w
RaduStefan [1d\]: It's pretty even
GodofGo [8d\]: f16 
adsdada: yeah no choice
Wizard00X: N16?
]
;B[ij]C[RaduStefan [1d\]: Kosumi close to tengen, black is creative and stylish at the same time. Wondering if he is efficient as well.
adsdada: time to take bs corner
]
;W[pi]
;B[kk]C[Nonooo [2d\]: it seems to be that the e17 e16  exchange helps white now that black strenghtens his center group
]
;W[lm]
;B[kn]C[nika666 [8k\]: so when will white hit the 3-3 in the lower right
Omicron [1d\]: only when no fight is happening
crusader [2d?\]: w must defend now and make 2 eyes
nika666 [8k\]: this fight looks good for black right?
crusader [2d?\]: sure black will get sente in this fight
Pooka [?\]: b has sente. i doubt w will tenuki
afgani [3d\]: they are playing  really  slow
bert [?\]: that is how you build suspense
Danielle [6d?\]: Im at the congress and the game recorder fell asleep i think
Danielle [6d?\]: Because they have new moves on the board
nika666 [8k\]: hahah is this real
afgani [3d\]: wake him up
adsdada: where do we file our formal complaints to
bert [?\]: but carefully, dont make him fall on the board too
Danielle [6d?\]: I got him don't worry
adsdada: nono make him fall on it! thatll be a lesson for life!

ctdogpdf: this is looking crazy

;W[kl]C[Danielle [6d?\]: It's the kind of game Andy like though
]
;B[ll]C[crusader [2d?\]: this looks bad for white
ctdogpdf: against a 9p it requires either some guts or carelessness
ctdogpdf: but this is flower fight for b right ?
ctdogpdf: hes getting some outside and plenty of aji and threats
sophist: I am a big fan of Andy because of his ever-un-boring style and also he is from New York City. When I met him at New York Go Center years ago when he just graduated highschool he reminded me of Go Seigen.
sophist: a quiet, gentle person with fierce fighting style.
ThiGar [3k\]: Quite a tribute! I like his style too.
qgo [4k\]: n 7
ctdogpdf: n7 k7
Danielle [6d?\]: He is also drinking an red bull energy drink so he must be hyper and attentive
sophist: Hence I came up with a line: "A Gentle Soul Looking for a Friend to Kill."
ctdogpdf: this is really complicated
ctdogpdf: can a strong player give some insight ?
sophist: Dan, maybe he had too much fun at the fair yesterday? :-)
Danielle [6d?\]: Someone is gonna die
sophist: W should settle inside quickly.
ThiGar [3k\]: wondering: would the o5 stones help an immediate r3 invasion?
ctdogpdf: if b dies he only looses a couple stones and get sente
sophist: lose*
Danielle [6d?\]: Aji at p3, so yes
ThiGar [3k\]: ty
sophist: ctdogpdf: against a 9p it requires either some guts or carelessness  <--- not all 9p's are necessarily stronger than 1p.
Danielle [6d?\]: Also at r6, so can't really call that corners blacks right now
ftroiset [7d\]: the atari at n 8 now gives w a sure win, according to Leela (Zero)
ctdogpdf: lo
ctdogpdf: l
ThiGar [3k\]: Leela is strong
ctdogpdf: from move 48 sure win is quite a thing
ftroiset [7d\]: yes, the version I use is clearly above top pros
bert [?\]: what does atari at n8 achieve?
ctdogpdf: a sure win
adsdada: probably miai
adsdada: between playing p3
adsdada: and surrounding m5
ftroiset [7d\]: Well, not absolutely sure, but  70 %, which for Leela is close to sure
Danielle [6d?\]: Andy is walking around, checking by the board every once in a while as Ding thinks
ftroiset [7d\]: with a stone at n8, turning at O6 is much stronger
bert [?\]: maybe the scribe would be grateful should somebody bring him a cup of coffee
adsdada: i think u connect tho?
sophist: bert, I thought it was your turn.
ftroiset [7d\]: sure : a ponnuki in the center would mean instant loss
adsdada: nah just missunderstood
adsdada: n6 after w connect at n7
adsdada: o6*
ftroiset [7d\]: yes
adsdada: i dont see an out for b
adsdada: its all pretty forced
bert [?\]: n8 m9 o6 p3 n7 k7 j7 j8 l5 
ftroiset [7d\]: which is the reason Leela is so sure
bert [?\]: leela underestimates the power of turtle shell formation

;B[ko]
;W[oo]C[Nonooo [2d\]: well if o6 really did force black to p3 it wouldve been terrible for b
ftroiset [7d\]: but not playing o6 was  a little too soft
ftroiset [7d\]: still, this sequence is almost a disaster for black
ftroiset [7d\]: as he has no good way to save the five stones
ftroiset [7d\]: without losing the corner
ftroiset [7d\]: the 4 stones :-)
]
;B[jm]
;W[nq]
;B[lq]C[sophist: which 4 stones?
sophist: why do you think this is disaster for B?
sophist: a disaster*
sophist: how much time do they have left please?
ftroiset [7d\]: all ' black stones in the corner disappear
GodofGo [8d\]: b's corner is fine but w will devour o6 and r8

Danielle [6d?\]: Andy has 20 minutes, Ding has 29 minutes left
sophist: Thanks.
ftroiset [7d\]: lots of trouble for b ; Leela thinks the game is over
sophist: who is Leela?
DonValley [2d?\]: me
GodofGo [8d\]: my mum
ftroiset [7d\]: Leela Zero, a clone of Alpha Go
sophist: Thanks. I thought it was short for Gorilla.
sophist: a bot commentator we have?

ftroiset [7d\]: well, I am a not so bad translator of its comments

hobajons [5d\]: w seems in trouble
DonValley [2d?\]: hobajons :O
hobajons [5d\]: andrew :O
ftroiset [7d\]: why?
sophist: I don't agree with the clone.
hobajons [5d\]: my 7 brain cells thinks so
DonValley [2d?\]: xD

;B[ls]C[ftroiset [7d\]: no problem (except for ladders, where it sometimes is uite wrong :-)

;B[qc]C[Maslov [2d\]: Black almost nowhere to build the territory, it's a trouble
adsdada: is the q9 p10 exchange any good for b
adsdada: feels like w r7 should still just work
eagle: not familiar with AMD Radeon.  Is it better or worse than 1080 ti?
RaduStefan [1d\]: AMD RADEON is like Nvidia GeForce.

;W[qm]
;B[rm]C[Aram [2k\]: 2015 mac desktop = much much slower than a 1080 ti, if it's the radeon r9 m290 it's slower than a gtx 1050 ti..

hobajons [5d\]: its literally rocketing
