DusanMitic[?]: enjoy
Move 2
JN_T21[?]: Go Lukan!
Move 39
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Top left - W should take the corner
Move 42
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Top left - better shape
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Lower left - W would never play A
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Lower left - B takes the initiative
Move 45
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: important forcing move
Move 49
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Black can defend in the lower right OR take the initiative in the top left
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: is a good point for defense
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: simple plan for W and B
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Invasion lower left is possible too
Move 50
Zaphodian[?]: E2 is a slight threat to the corner, but it wil not die. So B will tke the initiative now.
Move 51
Zaphodian[?]: One example if W tries to kill
Zaphodian[?]: A5 is very safe
Move 52
Zaphodian[?]: B2 looks like a dangerous move
Move 59
Zaphodian[?]: exactly
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: large capturing race
Move 62
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Looks ok for B
Move 63
Zaphodian[?]: The players can easily waste 20 minutes each on the lower left.
Mbrez[?]: thank you for your interesting variations Rob
Zaphodian[?]: sure
Zaphodian[?]: B's idea is that if W ever throws in at A4, B can now defend with A7
Zaphodian[?]: So if W goes back defending at C8 or so, B has already a piece of W's moyo.
Zaphodian[?]: oops, *has already eaten*
Move 64
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W's threat
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Leads to a ko
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: But B strikes back
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W's plan
Move 65
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: seki
Move 66
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: bad ko for W
Move 67
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Ko but B has many local ko threats
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W slightly better
Move 69
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W got tricked
Move 71
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: some kind of ko
Move 73
Zaphodian[?]: R15 is a huge loss
Move 74
Zaphodian[?]: Maybe better at S13
Move 78
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W 1 was better
Zaphodian[?]: B has loads of local ko threats, so I don;t see how W can win it.
Move 87
Zaphodian[?]: S16 strikes me as a really bad ko threat
Move 92
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W 1 was better - in that case 7 is a ko threat, too
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W 1 was better - in that case 7 is a ko threat, too
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W 1 was better - in that case 7 is a ko threat, too
Move 101
Zaphodian[?]: B has a infinite of local ko threats...
Zaphodian[?]: It's bad to write and think at the same time - I forget to write words.... It should be "infinite number of"
Move 108
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Danger in the top right
Move 109
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: very complicated to read
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: good for B
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Order is important
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Both live but B is winning by a lot
Move 112
Zaphodian[?]: Whether it works or not W just had to play E10
Move 113
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: variation after variation
Move 115
dlpigozzi[4k]: hi zaphodian! someone else alive here
dlpigozzi[4k]: not only variations
Zaphodian[?]: Someone else being?
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: another variation
Zaphodian[?]: I think W J18 is an overplay, but it's gonna be difficult to punish
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: hard to evaluate
dlpigozzi[4k]: seems we will have a long fight here
dlpigozzi[4k]: very close on liberty degrees
dlpigozzi[4k]: G16 E11 can help the squeeze
Zaphodian[?]: Any move can have detrimental effects 10 moves down the line
Zaphodian[?]: So W desperately wants to play J18, but hmmm
Move 116
Zaphodian[?]: K17 is creative...
dlpigozzi[4k]: seems faster but now B has less headache to make two eyes on top
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W's dream
dlpigozzi[4k]: o17 is also in danger
Move 118
Zaphodian[?]: small potatoes
Move 121
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: B escapes
Move 123
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: B mistake
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: B is far ahead
Mbrez[?]: actually if white just plays e13 and gives up the stones he is..ahead????
Move 124
Mbrez[?]: but that's definitely better
Move 130
AndriiKravets[1p]: looks like clean kill with sacrifice f13 stone
AndriiKravets[1p]: g15 is only move right now for b
Move 135
Zaphodian[?]: woah
Move 139
Zaphodian[?]: I didn't anticipate this one at all...
Move 149
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Turmoil
Move 151
dlpigozzi[4k]: can B save that?
dlpigozzi[4k]: I dont think so
Move 152
Mbrez[?]: uh
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Indeed
Move 154
Zaphodian[?]: oopsy daisy
Move 156
AndriiKravets[1p]: its ko for seki
Move 157
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: no no
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Oh yes
Mbrez[?]: maybe n14 now or something to fight back?
Move 158
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: But no!
Move 160
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Oh no!!!
Move 161
Zaphodian[?]: Therefore B can only start this ko
Move 163
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: B A was really sente
Move 167
Mbrez[?]: playing this ko looks like a bad idea
Move 169
Zaphodian[?]: O15 is a horrible ko threat, losing points
Mbrez[?]: yeah and black still has some
ben0[4d]: o15 is fine
Move 170
ben0[4d]: gives more ko threat
Mbrez[?]: does it?
ben0[4d]: w will capture the whole center
AndriiKravets[1p]: maybe beter to skip o15 and play n14
Move 171
Zaphodian[?]: M17 would be better at M18
ben0[4d]: wow and still potential seki
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, N14 immediately would be better
ben0[4d]: dusan *\o/*
AndriiKravets[1p]: after w made blunder there :)
Move 172
ben0[4d]: ah, I was expecting atari
AndriiKravets[1p]: there was no need at j18 just another chance
Zaphodian[?]: atari would be way more manly
Move 173
ben0[4d]: not manly, just feels better
Mbrez[?]: tengen $*!% tengen
Move 174
Zaphodian[?]: same thing sometimes ;-)
Mbrez[?]: pff
ben0[4d]: thanks Rob for allowing me to use this : Ok, boomer.
Move 176
Zaphodian[?]: hahaha, OK, I was being provocative and you grabbed it
ben0[4d]: :)
Move 177
Zaphodian[?]: It's actually a word I never ever use
Move 178
ben0[4d]: so that would be nice if Dusan actually kills something in this game
Move 180
Zaphodian[?]: P12 seems more important than N10, no?
Zaphodian[?]: Unless W can actually kill
ben0[4d]: if b p12 then w just n12 I guess
ben0[4d]: should be fine
Move 183
Mbrez[?]: olala
Move 184
ben0[4d]: you see, perfectly timed :D
Move 186
Mbrez[?]: :(
Move 188
Zaphodian[?]: really?
Mbrez[?]: that hurts
Move 189
Zaphodian[?]: B is connected now
Move 190
Mbrez[?]: and can even attack the L9 stones iiik
Move 193
Zaphodian[?]: K9 is clean now
Move 196
Zaphodian[?]: M4 looks honte-ish
Move 197
Zaphodian[?]: But W is way ahead
Move 202
Mbrez[?]: it's close no ?
Mbrez[?]: not sure how many points will be left on the right side for white
Move 204
Zaphodian[?]: T5 S6 Q5
Move 205
ben0[4d]: Q7 time
Move 206
ben0[4d]: Pffff
Move 207
ben0[4d]: It's like white counted he is ahead
Move 208
ben0[4d]: Not fun
Move 210
Zaphodian[?]: Yeah, we know your tricks (actually, I thought of it myself, but rejected it because W is simply ahead
Move 212
ben0[4d]: Yup
Zaphodian[?]: J3 might have been better at K2 immediately, though
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: is white really ahead?
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, but more than the komi
Move 217
Whirly[1d]: seems to me he is only ahead by komi
dlpigozzi[4k]: with top left as seki?
Whirly[1d]: it is seki
Move 218
dlpigozzi[4k]: W is ahead in that case
dlpigozzi[4k]: 10p give or take
Zaphodian[?]: J4 K5 K7 was possible too
Move 219
Zaphodian[?]: But W takes no risks... B J4 is very big though
ben0[4d]: h9 was a bit slow
Move 220
ben0[4d]: really 0 risk from dusan
Move 229
ben0[4d]: but yeah looks hard to mess up
ben0[4d]: oh $*!% I didnt see the captures
ben0[4d]: hmmmmm
dlpigozzi[4k]: 04 area is becoming a lot of cash for B
Zaphodian[?]: T6 T4 and M7 or L7
ben0[4d]: it's getting very close then
ben0[4d]: if there is a losing move, has to be h9 then
Zaphodian[?]: 20?
Move 230
ben0[4d]: ah this move is annoying actually
Move 233
Zaphodian[?]: H9 at G9 would have been safer still
Move 236
ben0[4d]: f9 is sente for b
Zaphodian[?]: yes
Move 244
Zaphodian[?]: R10 easy-peasy now
Move 245
AndriiKravets[1p]: r 10 and t13 are kind of miai
Move 252
Zaphodian[?]: It seems that Dusan's scare-tactics with E2 turned out very well.
Move 256
Zaphodian[?]: there is your miai
Move 263
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: good enough
Move 284
Zaphodian[?]: A9 is quite large btw
Move 305
dlpigozzi[4k]: l4
AndriiKravets[1p]: l4 is not sente
Zaphodian[?]: M7 is probably best
AndriiKravets[1p]: l13 first
AndriiKravets[1p]: i dont see any ko-threads dor b also
dlpigozzi[4k]: l13 is the best
Zaphodian[?]: Dusan is taking a toilet-break I guess
dlpigozzi[4k]: hahaha
AndriiKravets[1p]: or just counting
Zaphodian[?]: That's the power of Fischer time
dlpigozzi[4k]: not another hour please
ben0[4d]: spending half the fight with 20s left and the byo yomi with 10min? yeah, awesome :D
ben0[4d]: the yose with 10min*
Move 311
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, I love Fischer time
Move 315
ben0[4d]: I actually do as well
AndriiKravets[1p]: w is winning ko
ben0[4d]: Im happy most of the important euro tourneys switched to it in the recent years
AndriiKravets[1p]: q7 additional ko-thread
Move 317
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: q7
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, I think Fischer time is the fairest way of byoyomi
Move 318
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W lost a few points in the endgame
Move 319
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: i've always loved fischer over byo-yomi, at least you can control the clock more
Move 321
AndriiKravets[1p]: n8 is solid loss
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: being on last-byo causes huge timepressure, and there's nothing to do about it :/
Move 324
ben0[4d]: big endgame fail my god
Move 325
Zaphodian[?]: I think W will still win by 0.5 points
AndriiKravets[1p]: feels like still w will win by 0.5
Move 334
Zaphodian[?]: This is not Chinese counting is it?
Move 336
TeXitoi[5k]: japanese
Move 337
Zaphodian[?]: because otherwise...
Move 338
TeXitoi[5k]: w has to take the stone in the seki at the end with japanese?
Zaphodian[?]: yes, he doe
Zaphodian[?]: does
Move 343
Zaphodian[?]: tricky
Move 347
dlpigozzi[4k]: 0.5 indeed
Move 348
dlpigozzi[4k]: wow
Move 350
ben0[4d]: so in chinese, connecting at e19 would be one more point for b?
Move 353
Zaphodian[?]: yes
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: gg!
dlpigozzi[4k]: 1.5 beacuse of e19
Lukan[?]: thanks for the game
ben0[4d]: Congrats Dusan!
Zaphodian[?]: Congratulations
Zaphodian[?]: Very exciting game
TeXitoi[5k]: ben0: e19 is one point in chinese/AGA/french rules, yes
Zaphodian[?]: What France got bought up by the Chinese?
Zaphodian[?]: or by the US?
TeXitoi[5k]: french rules are basically aga: chinese with japanese counting (giving a stone while passing, and the game ending after white turn
Zaphodian[?]: ??? But Japanese counting means nu territory in a seki.
TeXitoi[5k]: with territory in seki, by japanese counting, I mean in practice, you count prisonners and territory
TeXitoi[5k]: that's the same result as chinese area scoring
TeXitoi[5k]: It allows to use the simplest chinese rules while not changing the way the players are used to count by hand
B2 Bomber[1d]: what a game...
