AshesOfDreams[?]: Have a nice game
Move 36
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: ohh this cap
roentgenium[4k]: I never know what will happen to sticks like these :)
Mardipaev[4d]: they grow up to be dragons
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: i have troubles seeing the worth of these kinda high caps, it feels like b can just jump out in either direction
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Modern idea
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Modern, but risky
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: i was thinking that shoulderhit myself too!
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: white wants a wall
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: Variation: here
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: another shoulder-hit, also risky
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: or moves like e6 for black, that also looks pretty good for black
Move 37
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: Variation: white is happy to do something like this i think
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: first instinct
Move 38
Celebrir[2d]: I'm thinking about F8 to develop the left
Celebrir[2d]: which this might be preparing
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: who knows?
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: natural follow up
Move 40
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: tesuji
Mardipaev[4d]: Variation: tesuji not working
Zaphodian[?]: after H7, B won't die quickly. So B is not that weak. So B should cut.
Mardipaev[4d]: will be another weak group though
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Not my style, but possible
Move 41
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: the necessary invasion
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: fourth line means he wants to escape and play lightly
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Cut - B is not weak
Zaphodian[?]: D12 is very unexpected
bobsof[2d]: À meteorite out of the sky.
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: 1 could lead to a huge fight
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: relaxed approach
Move 44
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: A different fight
Move 49
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: what next?
Move 50
Celebrir[2d]: I don't think B can afford to fight for D12 and F16 at the same time so there is no direct need for something like F15
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: wishful thinking?
emil.danielsen[15k]: Is someone streaming this?
Evan is my name[5k]: Hey all! What exactly is the European Grand Prix?
Evan is my name[5k]: Thanks!
Move 51
Celebrir[2d]: You're welcome :)
Zaphodian[?]: B somehow wants to activate both F16 and D12
emil.danielsen[15k]: Thank you!
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: Variation: is this an ok move?
Zaphodian[?]: hmmm, could be an AI move
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: B is strong now
martin97[4d]: abandoning j9 like that feels wrong
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: zaph are you 7d?
emil.danielsen[15k]: Does not seem like the go federation is streaming now.
Move 60
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: huge mess
Zaphodian[?]: Officially, yes
Zaphodian[?]: But lost about 130 pnts in rating in the last 20 years.
Zaphodian[?]: Can't read so well anymore, haha.
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: 20 years wow
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: you've been playing this game for a long time
bobsof[2d]: I was lucky enough to watch Zaphodian play at the 1987 EGC in Grenoble.
Zaphodian[?]: 50 years
bobsof[2d]: Still remember the moment.
bobsof[2d]: A legend even then
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: twice the time i have been alive
Zaphodian[?]: Really? I think I was mostly partying with the french
bobsof[2d]: Yes, that too.
Zaphodian[?]: With Donzet, etc.
bobsof[2d]: Fun times.
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: 1 is a smart move now.
emil.danielsen[15k]: Why?
xhu98[8d]: greetings everyone o/
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: variation - Oh no
Move 61
Evan is my name[5k]: Variation: Maybe because it makes 3 sente here
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: variation - extra push
Celebrir[2d]: Hi xhu o/
bobbo[25k]: w L8
Evan is my name[5k]: Wait, my variation makes no sense
Evan is my name[5k]: nvm
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, but the game is almost the same threat
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: no cut here
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: ouch
Move 62
Zaphodian[?]: F11 is anice peep
Move 64
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: too complicated to read out to the end.
Move 66
Zaphodian[?]: H11 is a safe move
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Black wants to but...
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: can black live with k2 or l3 or something?
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: or m3?
Move 68
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: wild fight with groups everywhere
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Three main ideas
Move 69
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: nice
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: called it
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: someone collapses but not B
bartosz[?]: kata says m3 very bad
bartosz[?]: -2 pts
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: -2 isnt very bad
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: for a human
bartosz[?]: isnt good either
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: tame but nobody dies
Trevoke[7k]: bartosz - largely the question is whether the opponent agrees it's sente or not. Sometimes people find the network's moves, but not in the order the network would prefer
bobsof[2d]: Intensity scale rather high. No time for mistakes
hypergeometric[5k]: can white do L3
Zaphodian[?]: I think neither will risk everything - no need at this stage
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: shown before
Celebrir[2d]: What about L5 instead of M4 ?
armin999[2d]: Variation: like this?
Move 70
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: still complicated
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: difficult to understand why he did this
Chad Thunderredacted[1k]: he knows black will get a good result there and so saves his group elsewhere?
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Idea to make A or B sente
Move 71
kukulis[4d]: black seems to be in danger
timhunt[1k]: Does not really make them sente. After W plays both P6 and R6, black can still connect along the edge if necessary.
Move 72
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: fight back
Zaphodian[?]: B can never afford to give up Q5 and Q6 - that would lose the game
kukulis[4d]: Variation: not sure if this is true
Move 74
kukulis[4d]: anyway protecting from playing black at P5, allows white to play L3
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: death
Move 77
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Good enough for B
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: refocus
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W is too insistent
Zaphodian[?]: As a bystander, it's much easier to refocus. Because you have no skin in the game.
Move 79
Trevoke[7k]: And yet... :P
Zaphodian[?]: But for the players, it is very difficult.
kukulis[4d]: focus pocus ;)
bobsof[2d]: So true.
Zaphodian[?]: It's easy for me to comment. If I get something wrong, I am not the one to lose.
Zaphodian[?]: K11 looks good now
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: different style
Keskelebô[4k]: is b alive locally?
Zaphodian[?]: So how do you get out of this rut? How can you refocus?
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, B is alive
Zaphodian[?]: I think you can learn how to refocus by always trying to think of at least 1 or 2 alternative moves or strategies.
hypergeometric[5k]: there is still a weakness around D8.I think
Zaphodian[?]: It's an exercises in creativity and in lateral thinking.
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, D8 is a weakness, but if B tries to exploit it, the aji in the corner disappears.
Move 80
Trevoke[7k]: If you're able to keep track of the various contests on the board, and reprioritize them as areas get resolved or as other areas impact the value of a given spot...
hypergeometric[5k]: I meant black can possibly use it to live with the D10 group
Zaphodian[?]: That sounds all very beautiful in theory, but in practice, even top pros have difficulty doing that.
Trevoke[7k]: I'm not saying it's easy
Zaphodian[?]: d10 group is not in danger
Move 84
Zaphodian[?]: I think it's practically impossible.
Trevoke[7k]: I've been replaying Dosaku games - and I try to remain aware that, while I can put down the stones in thirty minutes, sometimes those games took hours or days, and there was plenty of time to find the next best move
timhunt[1k]: G15: is G14 better?
timuzhti[6d]: If you
timuzhti[6d]: oops
timuzhti[6d]: If you can do that you've basically solved go.
timuzhti[6d]: (Assuming your values are accurate)
Trevoke[7k]: Well.. as long as your evaluation is as exactly correct as a computer's, then I suppose so
Zaphodian[?]: Just saying, even the top pros can't do that.
Move 85
Zaphodian[?]: So how's the game territory-wise?
Zaphodian[?]: I think B may activate the cut at D8
hypergeometric[5k]: what if W C8 now
Zaphodian[?]: that's a no-no
Move 86
Zaphodian[?]: E6 would be better
Zaphodian[?]: hahaha
kukulis[4d]: black J5 is in danger again
Trevoke[7k]: I don't know - when you look at a pro game and you see that the winning percentage remains relatively even for a hundred moves, tenuki after tenuki, it makes you think they are evaluating the entire board's position regularly, and fairly well.
kukulis[4d]: Trevoke: you are right
kukulis[4d]: they constantly count points
ronin3[1k]: maybe it will cut first then make an eye with G2 or sumthin
Rocco[1d]: how strong are these lads?
kukulis[4d]: there is aji with M3 stone
dlpigozzi[4k]: 7d stasnislaw 6d anton
Rocco[1d]: thanks
kukulis[4d]: may be black K2 now ?
Move 87
Valerii K[?]: Both 7d
Move 90
dlpigozzi[4k]: i took the data from the official page of the tournament
kukulis[4d]: lets see how black makes two eyes here
dlpigozzi[4k]: maybe anton has reached 7d
Rocco[1d]: k2?
kukulis[4d]: yeah
Zaphodian[?]: I don't think they constantly count at all.
kukulis[4d]: but there is another way with L5
kukulis[4d]: I mean other way to use M3 aji
Move 91
dlpigozzi[4k]: A simple way of counting is thinking what is bigger
timuzhti[6d]: kata says L2 threatens capture.
timuzhti[6d]: So white has to connect M4
Rocco[1d]: $*!%
timuzhti[6d]: Which makes an eye.
Rocco[1d]: nice
Move 92
Zaphodian[?]: I think they locally evaluate exchanges
kukulis[4d]: black N2
death_taxes[1k]: to be precise 2673 Stan, 2625 Anton
dacat1[7d]: hello there
Zaphodian[?]: Hello kitten
Move 93
dlpigozzi[4k]: hey oscar
The Treeman[3k]: white wins if he makes no mistake
dacat1[7d]: b seems to have a nice position? all the groups are basically settled and b has the cash lead
death_taxes[1k]: and 2579 Oscar :p
dlpigozzi[4k]: your game is still commented on the cloud
dacat1[7d]: c3 is happening later?
Zaphodian[?]: N2 is better at M2, I think.
dacat1[7d]: yeah my rating leaves something to be desired
death_taxes[1k]: nah, i'm just informing people about the ratings of those 2
Move 94
bobsof[2d]: Some pretty sharp moves are being played.
Zaphodian[?]: Your rating is the sum of your entire life, dacat. I am the painful reminder of that.
Rocco[1d]: R17 when?
Rocco[1d]: :P
death_taxes[1k]: also i hate the "they are both 7d" nonsense
dlpigozzi[4k]: hahaha
dlpigozzi[4k]: u were diplomatic till now
Zaphodian[?]: Yeah, people do that a lot these days: they lie with facts.
Move 95
509511[16k]: whut?
Move 96
Random Person[19k]: ???
Trevoke[7k]: I lie the old-fashioned way: I make up $*!%
Move 97
Zaphodian[?]: N2 should have been at O2, I'll say it again.
Keskelebô[4k]: factual lying
dacat1[7d]: nice
509511[16k]: ????????
Move 98
death_taxes[1k]: interesting game thoug
Zaphodian[?]: M8 cut first, think later!
509511[16k]: im not old
death_taxes[1k]: how b created 2 weak groups at the same time
Zaphodian[?]: Eventually, you'll learn, 509511
kukulis[4d]: white must attack H13 to catch up in the game somehow
509511[16k]: my name is not 509511
Move 99
Zaphodian[?]: W already gained a lot in the lower left
dlpigozzi[4k]: by creating a weak group in between
Jolly River[5k]: how is that OGS estimator is so bad? :O
kukulis[4d]: ok 509511 but you are from China?
death_taxes[1k]: this game gives an internet vibe of the short "i see you're building something, let me invade it"
Zaphodian[?]: It isn't?
bartosz[?]: H1 is -7 according to kata :O
509511[16k]: whut?
Move 100
death_taxes[1k]: like classic kgs game
timuzhti[6d]: It's supposed to be bad.
kukulis[4d]: I think for europeans its hard to give a name which is a number
timuzhti[6d]: If it's good then it's just an AI.
Move 101
Rocco[1d]: K2??
Rocco[1d]: Serving what purpose
Move 102
509511[16k]: ???
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: jolly river, too good score estimator would be close of being "ai assistant"
509511[16k]: im a girl
Move 103
Zaphodian[?]: -7 points?
bartosz[?]: yes
Move 104
dacat1[7d]: stanislaw is torturing this group more than expected
Rocco[1d]: Don't understand this exchange
dacat1[7d]: ouch
bartosz[?]: now white +8
509511[16k]: ?
dacat1[7d]: yeah w definitely better...
Zaphodian[?]: I wouldn't know, but it seems wrong because of this sente sequence by W
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: ohh stan is winning now?
Rocco[1d]: just because of the outside squeeze?
kukulis[4d]: black must play G6 now
dacat1[7d]: just because black is dying locally.... can't connect m2
dacat1[7d]: i missed that
kukulis[4d]: O L5
509511[16k]: ummm??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Move 105
timuzhti[6d]: Black was +7 for 54 to 74
bobsof[2d]: ‘?´ you missed one.
Move 106
fightyoats[4d]: lmao
dlpigozzi[4k]: +7d
David_Turman[10k]: But there is soooo much in the upper right quarter. Perhaps black can get many points there.
Move 110
Zaphodian[?]: OMG
kukulis[4d]: not enough if K7 died
509511[16k]: ok
kukulis[4d]: I mean white will play first at Top right for sure
xhu98[8d]: "young man has a lot of energy" - Jeff
509511[16k]: ?????
Move 111
dacat1[7d]: jeff on anton?
Rocco[1d]: So where did black misplay?
dacat1[7d]: btw hello @xhu98 :)
Rocco[1d]: H1?
Move 112
Zaphodian[?]: Jeff on every young guy
xhu98[8d]: think the original quote was on siasio
Rocco[1d]: N2?
xhu98[8d]: Hi @dacat1 :)
Move 113
509511[16k]: blak is wiwns
Move 114
Zaphodian[?]: How much pain can you take?
509511[16k]: umm?
Move 116
dacat1[7d]: makes more sense on siasio
Move 119
xhu98[8d]: also nice to see you @Zaphodian
Zaphodian[?]: I think we got a lot of quotes on Oscar after yesterday's game
Move 120
Zaphodian[?]: Hallo, hallo
dlpigozzi[4k]: hahaha
death_taxes[1k]: i only saw it after it finished
dlpigozzi[4k]: M8 M8 M8 M8
Move 121
Zaphodian[?]: Oh, hi Stephen.
Keskelebô[4k]: yeah m8 seems scary now
dlpigozzi[4k]: ouch
death_taxes[1k]: 130.5-134 is a bit unsual
kukulis[4d]: I think white took a wrong strategy here
kukulis[4d]: wrong dirrection
Zaphodian[?]: It's a pity that B used a move in his own territory at K7 now
kukulis[4d]: black will live in sente now, and play O17 first
509511[16k]: how
kukulis[4d]: K7 is not a black's territory
Zaphodian[?]: If you are an optimist it is
kukulis[4d]: ok :)
kusrabs[5k]: well. Looks like black has no chances today.
kukulis[4d]: looks like disaster for white
rasatsu[1d]: always nice to be called an optimist
rasatsu[1d]: especially by pessimists
509511[16k]: whutttt
Zaphodian[?]: It isn't over until the fat lady sings. Just ask Oscar. I think he politely asked her to go somewhere else when she was about to sing a few times.
Move 124
kusrabs[5k]: Давай, Антон, держись до конца!
rasatsu[1d]: some lady sang, and she was rather skinny
Zaphodian[?]: N10 is a nice move. He can be proud of himself finding that move in his own game.
Rocco[1d]: Oh, I see black has clock issues.
Move 125
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: W sacs on a small scale
death_taxes[1k]: where is 7?
Move 126
dlpigozzi[4k]: J8
dlpigozzi[4k]: otherwise no sac
Move 128
kukulis[4d]: Variation: white with a running group?
Move 131
kukulis[4d]: I mean, this is correct that white didn't pull that central group
dlpigozzi[4k]: white gave up the middle?
kukulis[4d]: yup
Rocco[1d]: yup
Move 133
bartosz[?]: kata says 50/50
dlpigozzi[4k]: J5 dragon was alive?
Rocco[1d]: yup
Move 134
dlpigozzi[4k]: ok then
kukulis[4d]: was not before K7 move
美国唐杰[3d]: Hmm
Rocco[1d]: how do you kill without K7?
Rocco[1d]: K6 for white?
death_taxes[1k]: was w ahead before he decided to sac the center?
David_Turman[10k]: Errr ... I don't understand that move. (S16)
OndraKruml[?]: this move looks nice
death_taxes[1k]: somehow i don't like this result for w
Move 135
kukulis[4d]: Variation: lik this
Move 137
The Treeman[3k]: White should have play 10M for move 126
Rocco[1d]: ah thanks
death_taxes[1k]: thx
hypergeometric[5k]: isn't M11 super super huge for black ?
Move 140
The Treeman[3k]: these are already dead
The Treeman[3k]: no need for M 11
dlpigozzi[4k]: m11 overplayed
kukulis[4d]: this is funny how passively black played at top right corner
Move 141
dlpigozzi[4k]: C3?
The Treeman[3k]: 白棋下了不少缓手
Move 142
death_taxes[1k]: probably it's too late for c3
kukulis[4d]: I think P18 was a mistake
kukulis[4d]: Variation: P18 was mistake
Zaphodian[?]: M18 should be at N18, I guess
The Treeman[3k]: 这个中间和上方的转换明显是亏的
Move 143
death_taxes[1k]: anyone with AI? who's ahead?
Zaphodian[?]: t18 now
dlpigozzi[4k]: Q8 for W
The Treeman[3k]: I guess white will resign soon
kusrabs[5k]: I cry aloud... After A.D. lost the same now with Anton.
Anthe[4k]: white is leading
OndraKruml[?]: can w block after m19?
Anthe[4k]: close but leading
kusrabs[5k]: But it's only AI thoughts. I still hope Anton do same as in last game.
JanGret[11k]: Okay, so White will either resign or is leading
Evan is my name[5k]: Yeah, funny how much disagreement there is about the game status XD
death_taxes[1k]: trust the ddks
Move 144
Anthe[4k]: its a constant up and down for both
The Treeman[3k]: left bottoom corner is still invadable
Move 145
Evan is my name[5k]: Yeah. What exactly is the aji there? Life in ko? Life?
OndraKruml[?]: Variation: 19
Move 148
OndraKruml[?]: isnt it something?
kukulis[4d]: its hard to invade bottom left, because white F1 is sente
Move 150
Mardipaev[4d]: it is not
Move 151
Zaphodian[?]: looks like fresh aji
Move 153
kukulis[4d]: Mardipaev: ok, you know better :)
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: no deal
JanGret[11k]: I think black is quite happy about R6
OndraKruml[?]: ah right, yeah thx
dlpigozzi[4k]: W preparing cut at M11?
dacat1[7d]: @zaphodian starting to sound like Jeff :D
Move 154
The Treeman[3k]: The end game is in favor of white, black to need be mroe aggresive
Zaphodian[?]: Is that good?
Move 157
Zaphodian[?]: oops
Move 162
Zaphodian[?]: How many miles ahead?
bartosz[?]: 4.5
The Treeman[3k]: 可能最后会是半目胜负
Move 163
Anthe[4k]: 2 ... nothing
Move 168
emil.danielsen[15k]: Can black kill m7?
Move 169
Zaphodian[?]: must be much more
Move 171
bartosz[?]: now kata says 5.5
Move 172
Anthe[4k]: io dont understand it i just can tell what the machine says
Zaphodian[?]: still possible to upset
Move 173
dfvgbhnjk[?]: white lead by around komi as i counted
Move 175
The Treeman[3k]: 6O
The Treeman[3k]: O6
Move 176
Whirly[1d]: ha
Whirly[1d]: didn't think he would back down
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: last big point?
Whirly[1d]: the ko looks to heavy for black
Whirly[1d]: too
Celebrir[2d]: I guess W doesn't need it and doesn't want to take the risk
Move 177
Zaphodian[?]: about 70 for B and 68 plus komi... hmmm
Move 178
Zaphodian[?]: W has about 75
Anthe[4k]: it says w+8
Zaphodian[?]: Could be. Because W gets B9 or F18
Move 179
Zaphodian[?]: F7 was slightly bigger I think
Move 182
Mardipaev[4d]: isn't b11 better than b10 for white?
Move 183
Whirly[1d]: ah i get e2...
The Treeman[3k]: O6 是先手吧
Whirly[1d]: it just doesn't matter
Whirly[1d]: black can't push again
The Treeman[3k]: there is a cutting point
The Treeman[3k]: black is doing good end game
The Treeman[3k]: he need to be aggresive
Move 185
Zaphodian[?]: N9 looks passive though
ilguru[3k]: isn't it sente , allowing black to cut in O12 now?
Move 187
The Treeman[3k]: O6 next
The Treeman[3k]: quite big
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: for starters
The Treeman[3k]: about like3 points?
Mardipaev[4d]: I like how P5 is sente for white
Move 188
bartosz[?]: white's advantage is shrinking
Neutrozer[?]: POG
Move 192
Keskelebô[4k]: o6 then n1?
The Treeman[3k]: he missed that point
fightyoats[4d]: gg
💖 KoBa 💖[1k]: ohh gg
death_taxes[1k]: another lag?
The Treeman[3k]: O6 is too big and it might be 先手
Siasio[?]: Thank you
dacat1[7d]: congrats siasio ^^
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, Congrats, Stan.
Gacek[6k]: Gratulacje!
