October 29, 2022

[14:35] snakesss[3k]: f4? d11?

Move 0 + 38

[14:36] snakesss[3k]: d8 - makes sense - that was gonna be my next guess

Move 0 + 44

[14:38] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: they're playing quite fast, what are the timesettings?

Move 0 + 45

[14:39] Jumping[2k]: 50min + 15s/move fischer

[14:40] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: hehe

Move 0 + 38

[14:40] snakesss[3k]: great time setting

[14:41] snakesss[3k]: first time i hear of fischer in a non-OGS platform or tourney or w/e

Move 0 + 45

[14:41] Jumping[2k]: it has gotten rather common in some tournaments in germany and in europe in general

Move 0 + 38

[14:41] snakesss[3k]: 1.5h to 2h game

[14:41] snakesss[3k]: nice - they renewed their clocks?

Move 0 + 45

[14:42] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: most tourneys here use fischher >___>

[14:42] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: i think vast majority of rl tourneys ive attended have used fischer timing xD

Move 0 + 38

[14:42] snakesss[3k]: last week inseong was saying that he doesnt like canadian byo but is stuck with it cuz of overall clock shortage

Move 0 + 45

[14:42] Jumping[2k]: Depends. A tournament organizer who is super active in southern germany kinda made it a standard to equip every board with a digital clock

Move 0 + 42

[14:42] Profit_[3k]: It is a really well balanced time control, glad to see it growing

Move 0 + 46

[14:44] snakesss[3k]: how is the fighting condition?

Move 0 + 47

[14:44] snakesss[3k]: is this jump ok by W? the other group not too sus?

Move 0 + 48

[14:44] Jumping[2k]: as far as i can tell both players dont carry arms.

[14:45] awaytoplay[6d]: this might be a bit too thin

[14:45] awaytoplay[6d]: it's not guaranteed that black will always have sente moves against the left

Move 0 + 50

[14:46] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: black relies on a move like A to be sente or else white might cut at B

Move 0 + 46

[14:46] snakesss[3k]: h8 cap too thin, is it? what did you want instead? was k6 a move at all?

[14:46] snakesss[3k]: or just jump one?

Move 0 + 47

[14:47] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: probably here, try to make white play the AB exchange

Move 0 + 49

[14:50] snakesss[3k]: is White's goal already mere life?

[14:51] awaytoplay[6d]: i don't know what white's plan is :)

[14:51] Jumping[2k]: it never is

[14:51] Jumping[2k]: whabout a simple d10 push followed by tenuki?

[14:52] awaytoplay[6d]: d9 feels slow, white has to get something out of h7

[14:52] snakesss[3k]: :O teeeenuki? you watch too much ke jie

Move 0 + 46

[14:53] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: even this feels better, try to keep control of the center area

Move 0 + 50

[14:54] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: maybe this?

Move 0 + 49

[14:54] Jumping[2k]: maybe they were afraid of the l3 group in your variation

Move 0 + 50

[14:55] awaytoplay[6d]: oh, still doesnt fix it, i guess better here

[14:55] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: 1

[14:55] awaytoplay[6d]: the L3 group will never make points for white. it just has to live

Move 0 + 49

[14:55] Jumping[2k]: if it gets weak, so will the center, no?

Move 0 + 50

[14:55] awaytoplay[6d]: the points to fight for are in the center

Move 0 + 49

[14:56] Jumping[2k]: i wonder if going for having a relativly thin bottom group goes well with top side mojo in general

Move 0 + 45

[14:57] awaytoplay[6d]: black can only attack this group with an invasion at N3, but that is not easy to play when black is not alive with the other group

Move 0 + 49

[14:57] Jumping[2k]: i am a mere observator of the game and dont understand go at all though :-)

Move 0 + 52

[15:02] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: black had the option not to connect. the AB exchange is already a loss for white

[15:02] snakesss[3k]: woooot - what if W just goes through, isnt that ginarmous in terms of territory?

[15:03] snakesss[3k]: the loss from A and B... isnt that small compared to what W would get if B didnt connect?

Move 0 + 55

[15:03] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: like 10 pts

[15:03] awaytoplay[6d]: and since white plays more and more stones black's stones in the enter become lighter

[15:04] snakesss[3k]: f2 is gote tho, right?

Move 0 + 55

[15:05] snakesss[3k]: like, answer g2, then tenuki... isnt that fine for W?

Move 0 + 55

[15:05] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: maybe like this

Move 0 + 69

[15:12] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: probably this?

Move 0 + 64

[15:12] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: black has too many issues here

Move 0 + 59

[15:18] awaytoplay[6d]: if white cannot cut at h7 then black won the fight

Move 0 + 62

[15:23] awaytoplay[6d]: hm, white has more points

Move 0 + 63

[15:26] awaytoplay[6d]: black gave up the left, and black will have to make the suicide cut at f2 to win the captruing race in the corner

[15:27] awaytoplay[6d]: all because black is worried about the 2 space jump in the center

Move 0 + 65

[15:33] awaytoplay[6d]: actually black can hane first

[15:34] Jumping[2k]: i wondered if black could go for d2 immidiatly after white turning lol

Move 0 + 74

[15:36] awaytoplay[6d]: Variation: 11

Move 0 + 70

[15:39] Jumping[2k]: 24 minutes for black, 14 for white

Move 0 + 78

[15:43] awaytoplay[6d]: seki in double sente lol, black has to come back to capture b10

Move 0 + 90

[15:56] Jumping[2k]: k15 or black center group too weak?

Move 0 + 282

[16:56] Jumping[2k]: W + R

[17:01] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: gg ^^
