Zaphodian[?]: Variation: Before connecting
Move 68
Zaphodian[?]: Variation: attempt to punish
Whirly[1d]: "20-30 more years" seems very optimistic
Move 69
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, it's a proper attitude
death_taxes[1k]: probably never
Zaphodian[?]: Maybe never. But the Japanese and Chinese have become good at chess, too.
Move 70
Zaphodian[?]: O9 is a vital point for cutting
death_taxes[1k]: not the Japanese
The Treeman[3k]: Go is way harder than chess right?
Zaphodian[?]: not yet top level, but compared to 20 years ago, a vast difference
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, I think chess is a fairly simple game.
death_taxes[1k]: the Japanese also are not totally strangers to chess, because they have shogi, there is no equivalent game in west for go
Whirly[1d]: but it doesn't matter alot because top level is top level
Whirly[1d]: in both games
The Treeman[3k]: How large is the gap now between the best European go player and a go world champion?
Move 71
The Treeman[3k]: like Ke jie
Saddharmapundarika[7k]: s11 work for black?
death_taxes[1k]: 3 stones?
Move 73
The Treeman[3k]: maybe
Move 74
Zaphodian[?]: About 2 stones
Zaphodian[?]: 30 years ago it was 3-4 stones. I know because I lost to Sakata with 3H.
martin97[5d]: wasnt there a match between a european pro and a world champion some years ago with some handicap?
bobsof[2d]: You played a god!
martin97[5d]: I think it was Ke Jie
Move 75
death_taxes[1k]: 30y ago Sakata was reallt old
Move 76
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, I worked in Sakata's Go-lounge.
Move 78
Zaphodian[?]: It was in 1982 to be exact, so 39 years ago. sorry
Move 79
bobsof[2d]: Sneaking in bits of knowledge here and there.
Zaphodian[?]: Sakata had just taken his 62nd title when he was 62 years old.
The Treeman[3k]: Ke jie once played 2H unofficial games with Chinese professional go players(like 5p) and he won
bobsof[2d]: No wonder you got so strong.
bobsof[2d]: Nice memories for sure.
Zaphodian[?]: No relation. I was European Champ already. I played just 1 game with Sakata.
bobsof[2d]: Still nice.
Zaphodian[?]: After that I became an insei and that's when I became 1-2 stones stronger.
Zaphodian[?]: I guess Ke Jie is at least 1 stone stronger than Sakata ever was.
Move 80
The Treeman[3k]: Yea, plus the help of AI
OndraKruml[?]: this is looking dim for Czech fans
The Treeman[3k]: Those top go players really immitate AI sytle

Whirly[1d]: that's only the opening

Zaphodian[?]: bragging has become a national sport
The Treeman[3k]: the LG final is in about seven days
The Treeman[3k]: I wish Ke jie could win this
Zaphodian[?]: He got eliminated, right?
The Treeman[3k]: LG cup? nope
Move 87
The Treeman[3k]: The semi final Ke jie vs 卞相壹 was really excited
The Treeman[3k]: Ke jie made his dead dragon live during the game
Zaphodian[?]: Hmm, Ahh, I mixed it up with the Chunlan Cup,
Move 88
The Treeman[3k]: yea. he lost to 唐 a few days ago
Move 91
Zaphodian[?]: Yes, Tang Weixing
The Treeman[3k]: I thought Ke jie could save his dragon in that game.
The Treeman[3k]: Tang is a really strange player. He performs great vs stronge player.
Move 93
Zaphodian[?]: Maybe he is completely psyched up
The Treeman[3k]: haha .yea. he is a world champion afterall
Zaphodian[?]: Of course, he has the skills. Maybe 50 players have the skills, but the decisive factor could be your mental state.
Move 98
The Treeman[3k]: yea. But I feel sorry for Lian xiao, he could have won that game vs Shin

Move 105
code9[5d]: B needs to do somthing
OndraKruml[?]: cool
Move 106
code9[5d]: To be to aggressive will kill the left group
OndraKruml[?]: But then the other groups will suffer, feels like black wont get a breather this game
Move 118
Zaphodian[?]: Yup, the law of preservation of misery
Move 119
Zaphodian[?]: B is trying to make the best of a hopeless situation - he lost all fear.
