Move 0 + 42

June 20, 2024

[18:51] AlbertYen[7d]: interesting mov

Move 0 + 44

[18:56] sedgwick[4d]: Yes, nince battle for white forcing moves white can extract here

Move 0 + 45

[18:57] sedgwick[4d]: Natural that Bill doesn't want to answer

Move 0 + 62

[19:02] AlbertYen[7d]: Variation: maybe a trade like this?

Move 0 + 60

[19:03] Salzur[3k]: Variation: ?

Move 0 + 54

[19:04] AlbertYen[7d]: q10 is also big

Move 0 + 58

[19:07] Trevoke[8k]: Looks like they're really going to fight for every inch.. Go Seigen would be proud

Move 0 + 59

[19:08] GoDave89[4d]: :)

Move 0 + 61

[19:12] AlbertYen[7d]: I like W so far

[19:12] AlbertYen[7d]: g4 seems natural now

Move 0 + 62

[19:13] AlbertYen[7d]: attaching is safer

Move 0 + 63

[19:14] AlbertYen[7d]: there's a ko aji at D8

[19:14] AlbertYen[7d]: I think W will just G3

Move 0 + 71

[19:20] azazil[3d]: Albert, why aren't you in the qualifier this year? You're one of the people everyone knows is at that level

Move 0 + 72

[19:20] BlueSupernova[2d]: K17 or Q10, which is bigger ?

[19:20] BlueSupernova[2d]: Ok, white answered me

[19:21] Trevoke[8k]: q10 is bigger because Q7 needs it

[19:22] Trevoke[8k]: Everything around K17 is stable so it doesn't change anything to the power structure on the board

Move 0 + 74

[19:26] azazil[3d]: BlueNova: q10 prevents the lower right from becoming weak, while also strengthening the upper right. k17 is just points, nobody is weaker or stronger afterwards

[19:27] AlbertYen[7d]: I think L6 is not necesssary

Move 0 + 78

[19:27] AlbertYen[7d]: Variation: this looks like the biggest move. It's also very thick

Move 0 + 76

[19:28] AlbertYen[7d]: Variation: fighting continues

Move 0 + 75

[19:28] GoDave89[4d]: yeah looks at least premature

[19:29] GoDave89[4d]: I like D12

Move 0 + 76

[19:29] AlbertYen[7d]: B doesn't have much in the bottom anyways

[19:30] GoDave89[4d]: yeah - I think white was worried about too much middle, but black needs F6 AND some growing move to make it worth a dam.. ^^

[19:31] HumbleS[5k]: I'm confused by P4, what is its utility? Is white hoping to cut off N6?

Move 0 + 80

[19:38] Trevoke[8k]: sets up a splitting attack

Move 0 + 90

[19:50] xbck[?]: How about the usage time？

Move 0 + 91

[19:52] JeansebL[3d]: B has 32 min, W has 44min

Move 0 + 98

[20:11] Trevoke[8k]: Finally a non-fox fighting game

Move 0 + 106

[20:20] AlbertYen[7d]: seems like W blundered

[20:20] TangJieHao[1d]: no blunders

Move 0 + 107

[20:21] TangJieHao[1d]: I believe sen lost a few points of the course of the whole fight

[20:21] TangJieHao[1d]: but game is now even for sure

Move 0 + 109

[20:23] ChicagoTournaments[?]: JS or Garlock, what are the times now?

[20:23] AlbertYen[7d]: yea W lost a bit in the middle

[20:23] AlbertYen[7d]: not like a 15pt blunder

[20:23] AlbertYen[7d]: but it's as bad for W as it can get in the center

[20:23] AlbertYen[7d]: lost 2 stones for no reason

[20:24] TangJieHao[1d]: ah yeah

[20:24] AlbertYen[7d]: idk what J3 does

[20:24] AlbertYen[7d]: lol

[20:25] TangJieHao[1d]: :o

[20:25] TangJieHao[1d]: I think sen misread

Move 0 + 111

[20:28] ProQual2024[?]: time check: B 24m, W 17m

Move 0 + 114

[20:30] AlbertYen[7d]: W essentially passed a move here

[20:30] AlbertYen[7d]: lmao

[20:30] AlbertYen[7d]: now the game is completely different

[20:30] sedgwick[4d]: Capturing at the bottom seems small all right

Move 0 + 119

[20:33] AlbertYen[7d]: W suddenly collapsed

Move 0 + 110

[20:34] Qiyou[4d]: missed K4 probably

Move 0 + 119

[20:35] chemicalhypeboy[5d]: go Canada!

[20:35] Trevoke[8k]: Ko Ganada

[20:36] Trevoke[8k]: Next pro quals will be in Mexigo, I suppose

[20:36] AlbertYen[7d]: seems like O9 should've been at M6?

[20:36] monicatansnake[?]: How much time left?

Move 0 + 120

[20:37] ProQual2024[?]: b22, w11

Move 0 + 121

[20:37] AlbertYen[7d]: still anybody's game tho

[20:37] AlbertYen[7d]: 5pt lead for B

Move 0 + 117

[20:37] Brian[1k]: How many points would you count for white on top?

Move 0 + 121

[20:38] AlbertYen[7d]: maybe 25

Move 0 + 122

[20:38] Trevoke[8k]: Variation: Points for W on top

[20:38] Trevoke[8k]: (I think)

[20:39] Trevoke[8k]: Adjust for yose around A16 and J18 :p

[20:39] Trevoke[8k]: Okay my line needs to be redrawn I think :p

[20:40] TangJieHao[1d]: When you play an invasion and your opponent is a slow moving tank.

Move 0 + 119

[20:41] Brian[1k]: I have a hard time knowing how close to count to m17. If I just assumed black reduced so white gets stones on 3rd line I would have counted as 29 at move 119

Move 0 + 123

[20:41] Trevoke[8k]: @AlbertYen I look forward to your review of this game

Move 0 + 122

[20:41] goodvibes[1k]: nice review happening here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr8y7NUvqJE

Move 0 + 131

[20:43] TangJieHao[1d]: i dont understand this

[20:44] AlbertYen[7d]: Yoder would've won against this version of Sen

[20:44] AlbertYen[7d]: B could've exchanged A2

Move 0 + 132

[20:45] AlbertYen[7d]: W wants to fix the F6 cut in sente

[20:45] AlbertYen[7d]: not a bad idea

[20:45] AlbertYen[7d]: but lost some points in the exchanges
