zchen[1p]: hi have a good game
Move 3
Move 27
daniel_lam[1k]: what is top right
Move 29
TangJieHao[2d]: joseki
Move 35
Move 40
TangJieHao[2d]: Variation: this is hard to find.
daniel_lam[1k]: top left good for w?
daniel_lam[1k]: f15 looks like it exchanged for h15, which is good for w
Move 41
daniel_lam[1k]: hmm maybe f15/d14 exchange is the trade
Move 44
TangJieHao[2d]: Variation: Best for white
TangJieHao[2d]: top left is good for black
Trevoke[8k]: I wonder if Ryan's skills are still as sharp as they've been;; I suppose we'll find out.
Trevoke[8k]: I imagine that significant brainpower has gone towards his job in the last 12-18 months
Move 45
daniel_lam[1k]: only 1 corner variation i understand
Move 51
TangJieHao[2d]: black is destined to lose this game via proverbs
Move 52
Trevoke[8k]: Sounds like a great game for all the kyus then
Trevoke[8k]: As long as someone tells us what the proverbs are.. :p
daniel_lam[1k]: what are the proverbs? get 4 corners win?
Move 54
TangJieHao[2d]: if black has all 4 corners he loses, if white has all four corners black loses. - abe lincoln 2099 go master
daniel_lam[1k]: that's when they recreate abe lincoln with AGI, right?
daniel_lam[1k]: 2099 sounds about right
azazil[3d]: Arguably a bit better proverb in handicap games but there is a point to it
Trevoke[8k]: also don't go oiling your assault rifle when someone's throwing grenades at your fire brigade, well-known go proverb
Trevoke[8k]: popularized by Dosaku in the historic zombie attack of 867 after robot jesus
Trevoke[8k]: Dosaku, of course, was the pop icon who brought such songs as "my dog loves you more than me" and "when in doubt, eleven wedgies.
Trevoke[8k]: "
daniel_lam[1k]: how many points is black bottom right generally considered
Move 55
daniel_lam[1k]: 11?
Move 57
Trevoke[8k]: I'd probably count it as 11
Move 61
daniel_lam[1k]: this is looking good for b
TangJieHao[2d]: white gained here though
Trevoke[8k]: What are the available shape points locally in the N17 area for W ?
TangJieHao[2d]: black is removing some aji for thickness
daniel_lam[1k]: That F15 stone is reactivating a little bit
Move 64
TangJieHao[2d]: m3 is surely a mistake
daniel_lam[1k]: D13?
sedgwick[4d]: Why is m3 a mistake?
daniel_lam[1k]: i guess black should just run into center bottom right, and see what white wants
sedgwick[4d]: Maybe white just connect against d13?
azazil[3d]: m3 is quite a big move
daniel_lam[1k]: E12/D13 exchange is what b wants, it seems
TangJieHao[2d]: doesnt matter if its big. its not urgent
sedgwick[4d]: white d13 seems slow
azazil[3d]: Why is the upper left any more urgent?
daniel_lam[1k]: If M3 is worth more points than D13 area, then it's more urgent
sedgwick[4d]: I don't see any good shape for white to add a move there
TangJieHao[2d]: why is losing an attack less urgent than points?
Transylvania[2d]: d13 feels so powerful.
azazil[3d]: No serious attack is in the cards there
daniel_lam[1k]: If the overall points from the attack is less than the big move
Move 65
azazil[3d]: How would white attack black strongly in the upper left?
Move 68
TangJieHao[2d]: thickness provides. if you dismiss it then you lose potential
daniel_lam[1k]: I think W shouldve played top left, but it was not good end result
TangJieHao[2d]: you dont need to attack it immediately to gain profit for keeping a group weak
Move 70
daniel_lam[1k]: M2?
Trevoke[8k]: Ryan's PJ skill seems to be as sharp as ever
Move 71
TangJieHao[2d]: sedgwick I would say c12 is better than d13
Move 73
daniel_lam[1k]: does zchen play differently on stream?
daniel_lam[1k]: this is a bit more territorial than usual
Trevoke[8k]: On stream he plays Fox games, if that counts as enough of an explanation
daniel_lam[1k]: but it's at the higher strengths
Trevoke[8k]: Does he play many games with one hour time settings on stream?
pekoe[15k]: Definitely not lol
daniel_lam[1k]: i feel like when you get 6d+ your style doesn't change much
daniel_lam[1k]: it's like I'm watching iyama yuta go from his capture races to a cho chikun territory style
Trevoke[8k]: I dunno, zchen's pro qual games were very different from his stream games, and this one reminds me of the pro qual games
TangJieHao[2d]: essential zchen is saying his territory is enough with moves like m17
TangJieHao[2d]: btw AlexQi vs MingJiuJiang right now as well
Move 74
daniel_lam[1k]: what anti cheat measures are being enforced?
TangJieHao[2d]: proctors
Move 77
Trevoke[8k]: 8-8 move, mega-katago-brain
Trevoke[8k]: wait 'til In-Seong hears about this, that'll be his next lecture
Move 93
daniel_lam[1k]: first major test now
TangJieHao[2d]: feels like the turning point
TangJieHao[2d]: either player could cause an avalanche
Move 94
daniel_lam[1k]: w constructed half a great wall
daniel_lam[1k]: M3 N5 M7 L9
Trevoke[8k]: If Ryan somehow completes the great wall we'll know he's trolling
daniel_lam[1k]: M2?
Move 111
daniel_lam[1k]: after all that happened, it just ends up being a L&D
Move 114
Trevoke[8k]: "just"
Move 119
daniel_lam[1k]: M2?
Move 120
edwardzhang[4d]: Ryan's J3 may be a Brilliant Move for dragon slayer for the National Contest
edwardzhang[4d]: https://baduk.news/s/2024--national-%E2%80%9Cbrilliant-move%E2%80%9D-go-artistry-contest
edwardzhang[4d]: Artistry Contest Details: https://baduk.news/s/2024--national-%E2%80%9Cbrilliant-move%E2%80%9D-go-artistry-contest
Move 124
Trevoke[8k]: This is going to be an insane byo-yomi competition isn't it
daniel_lam[1k]: i think game is gonna end soon
Move 131
Trevoke[8k]: I don't think B will resign until it is patently obvious that W cannot be coaxed into a mistake
Move 132
Trevoke[8k]: This is a winning position but not a won game
Move 133
TangJieHao[2d]: I would like to add this is only a lost game for white if they royally mess up
Move 134
Trevoke[8k]: *nod*
Move 138
Trevoke[8k]: I would not have had the courage to tenuki that attachment
Move 143
TangJieHao[2d]: this is s a solid opportunity to turn the game around
Move 144
daniel_lam[1k]: soon b top pieces eaten
Move 174
Bunburyist[2k]: B needs a superhero move somewhere, yes?
Trevoke[8k]: B needs to play like three moves in a row
Schala[2k]: b is on copium
TangJieHao[2d]: gg
RyanLi[4p]: thanks
Trevoke[8k]: gg
