siljan[?]: No, black is not playing for fun but for Euro 100 prize-money
ronin3[1k]: there's too much choice for W's next move now >__>
ronin3[1k]: everything looks important
shinuito[1d]: Yeah be interesting to see where white plays
shinuito[1d]: I wonder does g17 look interesting
ronin3[1k]: probably big but not urgent
shinuito[1d]: I was wondering does it threaten a cut
TomiP[2d]: hmm... I would probably just play F3
Move 32
ronin3[1k]: yay! ilya goes in hard
TomiP[2d]: hah C8 was my #2 choice but I thought it would be too early
Move 36
astra717[2k]: Удачи!!!

💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: are there locally any other moves than c11?
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: e10 and sac c12 stones?
MortalGreed[2k]: too big and no reason
1weigo[4k]: Who is nidza?
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: nikola mitic, former insei
1weigo[4k]: ty
dlpigozzi[4k]: I think B is worried about the connection with D9
Licker[3k]: i will say c4 or e4
MortalGreed[2k]: is it bigger than white c11 ?
dlpigozzi[4k]: is gonna be c11
MortalGreed[2k]: don't see any other moves either
dlpigozzi[4k]: may be is thinking e10
dlpigozzi[4k]: but looks crazy
pupukani[4d]: b12
Zaphodian[?]: You can find all information about this tournament on this page https://eurogofed.org/grandprix/egpf2020.html
Move 37
dlpigozzi[4k]: wow
Licker[3k]: nice one. too small for saving 3 stone
MortalGreed[2k]: it's not 3 stones
MortalGreed[2k]: it's automatically alive group
MortalGreed[2k]: with almost 0 sente moves
Chinitsu[3d]: yeah it looks tremendously big to me...
dlpigozzi[4k]: Variation: alive?
MortalGreed[2k]: white will go c11 not c10
Move 38
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: would have been easier
MortalGreed[2k]: i like white position
Move 45
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: oh wow, i didnt see this trade happening
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: i thought it would be bad for b xd
Zaphodian[?]: E10 and E8 combi is inefficient.
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: The future
Move 46
MortalGreed[2k]: 2 worthless stones for c12-c14 is such gift for w
Move 48
Zaphodian[?]: W is slightly better, not much.
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: w got 3 stones in sente and b got 2 stones in gote, cant be bad for white ^^
MortalGreed[2k]: and even in sente
MortalGreed[2k]: ye
Zaphodian[?]: Give me a slightly better game in sente any time.
Move 51
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: make a base first, think later
Move 53
Zaphodian[?]: E2 was the vital point
Move 54
MortalGreed[2k]: every time Ilya attacks, he gains profit
MatiasPankoke[?]: how about: cut two weak groups first, think later :)
MortalGreed[2k]: what a player
Zaphodian[?]: OK, at least don't think...
Zaphodian[?]: what about TAKING a base now with B4?
Shinkenjoe[1k]: looks to me like black needs the inefficient g8
Shinkenjoe[1k]: f8
Move 55
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: b making some points finally ^^
Move 58
bobsof[2d]: White is rather surgical.
Move 68
Shinkenjoe[1k]: i knew n3 looks shapy ... but l4 still seperates and you have to consider the fight afterwards, or am i wrong?
Zaphodian[?]: Brute force right now!
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Brutus
MatiasPankoke[?]: Thats the AI move :) And with that black is at 75 percent actually
MortalGreed[2k]: also looking m3
Welvang[1p]: hi
MatiasPankoke[?]: I had to check AI since I didn't agree with the Chat that white is winning, sorry ^^
Shinkenjoe[1k]: hiho
Zaphodian[?]: That's nice to know. Maybe first J9 and G9
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Brutus Revised
Welvang[1p]: hope to watch a game as great as yesterday but ilya won't let that happen
MatiasPankoke[?]: It's hard to look at a game objectively when Ilya is playing, I guess...
MortalGreed[2k]: that's still rude, writing percents while game is on
Free Tibet[1k]: n4
Zaphodian[?]: Yesterday's game was outstanding, especially from an entertainment perspective
bobsof[2d]: Anthology
MatiasPankoke[?]: If Nikola gets a big lead now it might be as entertaining
Lennonson[5k]: Who played yesterday?
Zaphodian[?]: If people are interested in yesterday's game _ game 30208121
Lennonson[5k]: Thank you.

Move 69
Fisherman_M[6k]: the schedule doesn't say much about time the games from now till the end of Jan
Fisherman_M[6k]: will appreciate if someone share the link with the details
Zaphodian[?]: Those are the details
Fisherman_M[6k]: otherwise I can catch the game only by chance
Fisherman_M[6k]: any clue about timing for Quarterfinals 22-24 of Jan?
Zaphodian[?]: No, once they get to the next round, the players decide the exact day and time
Fisherman_M[6k]: I see
Fisherman_M[6k]: will it be posted on eurogofed. org then?
Zaphodian[?]: Yes
Fisherman_M[6k]: excellent!
Zaphodian[?]: As soon as they know, each time
Fisherman_M[6k]: thank you!!
Fisherman_M[6k]: feel way better now)
kusrabs[5k]: Weell... Looks like black much much better
Zaphodian[?]: OK, well, you are not gonna miss out.
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Honte (the proper move)
Fisherman_M[6k]: I tink time to explore right side of the board
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Honte No. 2
Move 70
Zaphodian[?]: After K11, a Black peep at G10 can become nasty
Zaphodian[?]: N5 makes a huge number of points
MortalGreed[2k]: is white corner alive ? why they both ignore g9 ?
kusrabs[5k]: if Iliya looses, the tiebreak in A-group turns to be the hell.
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Consistency
Move 71
LVL79[4k]: Тайбрейков не будет - Илья уже на первом месте в группе при любом раскладе
Welvang[1p]: thats next level genius nikola
Zaphodian[?]: L5 looks like a fat overplay after N5
Welvang[1p]: you got inspired from yesterday
CarloTibaldi[1d]: Ilya is 1st already and Nikola is already 4th
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, I did. Maybe consistency is not a valid argument anymore
Welvang[1p]: i was actually talking to nikola
Welvang[1p]: it's a one way conversation
Zaphodian[?]: Ahhh, ok.
xxchemotoxx[?]: dont give up Tanguy
xxchemotoxx[?]: im checking the game but dunno
xxchemotoxx[?]: i feel empty
xxchemotoxx[?]: i feel something is missing after yesterday
Welvang[1p]: because fredda is not here yet
xxchemotoxx[?]: also
xxchemotoxx[?]: but Ben is here
Zaphodian[?]: Maybe there is someone out there in the Universe who actually listens to you (oops, I did)...
xxchemotoxx[?]: literally next to me :D
Welvang[1p]: but i'm afraid for fredda
Welvang[1p]: he may not come back
Welvang[1p]: he said this a few hours ago :
Welvang[1p]: Fredrik, 12:58 I’m depressed Fredrik :Can’t experience it again Schayan13:00 What happened? SchayanWife cheated you? 😆 Fredrik :No, The Oskar Ben0 game
Welvang[1p]: we all feel like you juli
xxchemotoxx[?]: yeah...
Move 75
Welvang[1p]: ilya just spent 5min reading l4 and nikola played m6
Welvang[1p]: thats genius
Zaphodian[?]: IC, wow, Fredda gto shell-shocked by reality
Welvang[1p]: (also it's pretty bad)
Move 77
Fisherman_M[6k]: seems B12 can safe blacks
Move 78
Zaphodian[?]: OMG, W just lives and that's that
Move 89
Zaphodian[?]: L5 and so were a huge loss...
Welvang[1p]: especially m6 :(

Move 90
Welvang[1p]: not if you're there damu
Move 91
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: wait is it sudenly so bad for b?
Move 93
Zaphodian[?]: No, B is a little behind
Welvang[1p]: there is a fragment of ben-oscar games in all of us
Welvang[1p]: together we can't make it revive
damu[?]: Its like 1933 for b
Welvang[1p]: from which side
Zaphodian[?]: R4 Q5 P4 was better at P4 immediately
kusrabs[5k]: But, CarloTibaldi and LVL79: ... in case of 2 players with an equal number of wins after three rounds the result of the mutual game decides. I though the number #1 is just for the second pairing, losers with losers.
Move 94
DioBrandof923b297a6cf40dc[3d]: groSeigen ? Really ? xD
Move 96
damu[?]: Mutual destruction coming
Move 101
MortalGreed[2k]: such a proud corner for b
Welvang[1p]: nikola plays fast = nikola is mad at the game
Move 104
DioBrandof923b297a6cf40dc[3d]: and then the game became a blitz
Welvang[1p]: but there is still hope
Move 105
damu[?]: He is already drunk probably
damu[?]: Couldnt resist temptation After fuseki
CarloTibaldi[1d]: @kusrabs, Ilya has already won 2 games, no 2 other players can get to 2 wins (just 1 and not Nikola)
MortalGreed[2k]: for the last 50 moves did b gain any real territory ?
Move 106
Welvang[1p]: b5 is actually big yose loss for white, also he'll get g11 cut, and some potential
Welvang[1p]: it's not all dark
Move 107
Welvang[1p]: b points are hidden for now
ben0[4d]: Hello darkness my old friend
Welvang[1p]: the legend is here
damu[?]: Zerooo
gagovedo[?]: everybody, stand please
Welvang[1p]: :)
ben0[4d]: Show some respect indeed
xxchemotoxx[?]: not everything is in ashes yet
gagovedo[?]: ok, you can seat now
Move 110
LVL79[4k]: ^)
Move 111
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: is learning new kibitz-skill here
ben0[4d]: Well, looking at this game, Nikola only chance of winning is if he made a video saying he will destroy Ilya
Welvang[1p]: everytime i read the word "ashes" its pronounced like if it was a deodorant advertising
Welvang[1p]: in my head
xxchemotoxx[?]: maybe a gap in the market field
mark5000[8d]: Please keep the kibitz respectful. Thank you.
ben0[4d]: No.
ben0[4d]: Not after what happened yesterday
Welvang[1p]: Variation: is that worth it ?
kusrabs[5k]: my fault, I see. Thank you, CarloTibaldi
Move 120
LVL79[4k]: _*+/test/+*_
Welvang[1p]: feels like the kibitz may end up soon anyway mark5000

Move 127
Welvang[1p]: or not :)

Move 132
Welvang[1p]: Variation: 3
damu[?]: Insta hane aha
Move 134
Free Tibet[1k]: bravo
LVL79[4k]: damu, what happens?
Welvang[1p]: there is hope for a dragon kill
Welvang[1p]: o10 feels nice
gocaman[3k]: go nizda!
damu[?]: If w gets 10 points on the top he has 55 without komi
damu[?]: Variation: I see barely 40 for b
Palko[2p]: I want to say it's hopeless for black
Move 135
Move 139
Welvang[1p]: i see 120 points with dragon dying
damu[?]: So final fight
damu[?]: Inshallah nikola will kill it
kusrabs[5k]: o10 kills the hope
tekken8[2d]: yeah right
Move 145
ronin3[1k]: i missed the big match :(
Move 149
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: so is the dragon now alive?
Welvang[1p]: not yet, there is a chance if white has to live in a painful way and b kills top
weiwuwei[3d]: dragon has one sure eye
Welvang[1p]: tbh ilya needs to be extra careful
Move 150
death_taxes[1k]: just tuned in, seems like a low point game
Move 151
death_taxes[1k]: b is a bit behind, right?
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, but B still has some tricks
Welvang[1p]: he's behind on territory, game might be decided in the next 10-15moves
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: trick example
Move 152
death_taxes[1k]: yes, w group in middle seems weak
Welvang[1p]: l15 ?
Zaphodian[?]: Yup, keep splitting
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: If, if, then
kusrabs[5k]: Variation: варкрафт
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: big plans if B gets sente
Russian[5d]: Variation: cach mouse!
brubrubrubru[16k]: ahahahha
Move 157
Welvang[1p]: hmm
Zaphodian[?]: indeed, hmm
DioBrandof923b297a6cf40dc[3d]: killng intention
Move 159
Zaphodian[?]: ???
Move 160
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: o.o
pynxy[6d]: Never understimate the power of someone playing old japanese style
Zaphodian[?]: I understand Q18 instead of N15
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: somebody surely misjudged this?
-Crr-Ake-[11k]: W gave up???
Welvang[1p]: that move is working really well
Zaphodian[?]: yes
NinjaKitty[8k]: Variation: shuriken ...
Move 161
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: looks like b gave up on attacking the center xd
Move 162
Zaphodian[?]: J4 K4 L7
Move 163
Zaphodian[?]: G17 looks slightly risky
Move 165
Zaphodian[?]: but $*!%, he plays it
pynxy[6d]: he is eu champ, he can play whatever he wans
LVL79[4k]: very interesting game
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: no big deal
Welvang[1p]: true, if nikola plays good, he will play better
Welvang[1p]: if nikola plays random, he'll play randomer
Zaphodian[?]: We can play whatever we want. The only difference is that we lose more often.
Welvang[1p]: that's an ability he has
Zaphodian[?]: Yup, today, Random is his middle name.
Move 166
Zaphodian[?]: But yesterday, Oscar played randomest.
JanGret[11k]: so what does white want to do in the top?
Move 168
Zaphodian[?]: staying alive, ah, ah, ah, ah, staying alive
Move 169
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: even with the worst intentions
pynxy[6d]: Ilya does not simply walk into death
Move 175
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: more worst intentions
tymak[2d]: what about b?....shouldnt healso focus on staying alive?
Zaphodian[?]: Can't afford to
Zaphodian[?]: It's too expensive to stay alive
Move 178
pynxy[6d]: w has the initiative to take big points in the endgame and it should be enough for him
Move 179
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: In our wildest dreams
tekken8[2d]: not q16?
Move 180
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: w to kill the rest of the avalanche?
Move 181
Zaphodian[?]: K13 looks a mistake
1weigo[4k]: xhy?
1weigo[4k]: why?*
riiia[3k]: k13 seems to invite a capturing race
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: impossible made possible
tekken8[2d]: blacks dead

Zaphodian[?]: Variation: B saves his behind
NikAmv[23k]: maybe k18
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: hard to kill
ronin3[1k]: eww that white dumpling
pynxy[6d]: this is what happenes when you play out of date josekies
Move 183
Zaphodian[?]: Never-ending hope
JanGret[11k]: that is just black alive and white gaining a little territory. And white stronger in the middle. I doubt black wants that
NikAmv[23k]: thank
Move 184
Zaphodian[?]: Black just wants to have fun now
Move 185
Ca11e[?]: Ouf, nice trap from black

JanGret[11k]: Looking forward to Stanislaw vs Anton tomorrow, decides who advances in group a
ronin3[1k]: i'm happy that W only played the big, non urgent move at move 160 or so
