Move 0
June 29, 2022
[18:24] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: are they starting already?
[18:26] JeansebL[4d]: Do we already know which nagf account will be streaming the other game?
[18:26] nagf1[?]: nagf4
[18:26] JeansebL[4d]: thanks :)
Move 0 + 21
[18:33] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: i already like kevi with this jump in the center ^^
[18:33] Trevoke[8k]: I am not really a big fan of the new AI joseki for the most part but I also don't really play 4-4 so I don't have much to talk about I guess
Move 0 + 31
[18:38] nagf1[?]: Kinda reminds me of the previus game...
[18:38] nagf1[?]: previous*
[18:38] Trevoke[8k]: Yeah, a few key differences but there's echos
Move 0 + 33
[18:40] GoDave89[4d]: haha
Move 0 + 35
[18:41] Trevoke[8k]: oh Alex is going for the strategy that defeated Edward
[18:41] Trevoke[8k]: That's not gonna work here, I don't think
[18:42] nagf1[?]: What is the strategy? I did not see the game
[18:42] Trevoke[8k]: Uh
[18:42] Trevoke[8k]: "If I play in the center and poke at your groups, you can't use them"
Move 0 + 36
[18:43] nagf1[?]: thats bullying
[18:43] robertqi78[?]: no strategy here...just enjoy the game and get ready for tomorrow against Eric or Remi
Move 0 + 37
[18:44] Trevoke[8k]: I mean
[18:44] Trevoke[8k]: I never claimed it was *good* but poor Edward did not handle it well.
Move 0 + 38
[18:44] nagf1[?]: we all did that before
[18:44] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: roberqi78, are you relate to white by any chance?
[18:44] robertqi78[?]: of course
[18:45] nagf1[?]: father and son
Move 0 + 39
[18:45] nagf1[?]: very strong
Move 0 + 41
[18:45] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: oh i see, must be great to see your son playing in matches like these ^^
Move 0 + 43
[18:46] robertqi78[?]: well, not the match this morning...i think he was bring scared this morning a little
[18:47] Trevoke[8k]: I hope you're right and he is able to come back for games 2 and 3! He clearly showed solid strength during the earlier rounds
Move 0 + 45
[18:49] Trevoke[8k]: I am blown away by their use of shape
Move 0 + 47
[18:51] Trevoke[8k]: No matter what happens today I surely hope we'll see games between these two for the decades to come
Move 0 + 49
[18:52] Aumpa[4k]: right
Move 0 + 50
[18:56] Lensman[?]: i just hope i am alive for decades to come, lol
Move 0 + 53
[18:57] Trevoke[8k]: this two-space extension on the fourth line is something I never play because my style is almost entirely stolen from Dosaku, so basically all third line
Move 0 + 54
[18:57] Trevoke[8k]: I was going to ask what its benefits are but I guess that move is the answer
Move 0 + 63
[19:03] Vegetable[2d]: this is beautiful tenuki empty triangle to ask some questions
[19:04] Vegetable[2d]: if a low sdk played this move i'd be fairly upset at them, but now i'm like O_o
Move 0 + 64
[19:06] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: pro-level power-triangle? ^^
Move 0 + 63
[19:06] robertqi78[?]: that actually looks like first mistake by Kevin..N11 is better asking move
Move 0 + 64
[19:07] robertqi78[?]: actually helped white fix the shape
Move 0 + 67
[19:08] nagf1[?]: misreading?
Move 0 + 64
[19:09] robertqi78[?]: not sure...
[19:09] robertqi78[?]: well, it's already better than morning's game..i think in the morning after 50 moves game was basically over
[19:10] nagf1[?]: getting better
Move 0 + 65
[19:10] robertqi78[?]: now still look pretty even
Move 0 + 64
[19:10] Vegetable[2d]: i think i prefer white a little in this
Move 0 + 65
[19:10] robertqi78[?]: eric and remi's game is a lot more fun to look at
Move 0 + 64
[19:10] Vegetable[2d]: because white has some potnetial to make some more points, where as black is pretty much locked with what they get
[19:10] Vegetable[2d]: and i never like that
Move 0 + 70
[19:13] Vegetable[2d]: i think we will see who plays better yose
Move 0 + 73
[19:16] rainxy[1d]: hard to tell where are the bigger moves on board
Move 0 + 75
[19:17] Fredda91[9d]: what anti cheating measures are in this tournament? :D
Move 0 + 76
[19:17] nagf1[?]: none
[19:17] nagf1[?]: transcribers wathces them
[19:18] nagf1[?]: watches*
Move 0 + 79
[19:18] Welvang[1p]: good question
[19:18] Fredda91[9d]: do they play from home?
[19:18] Fredda91[9d]: or live?
[19:18] nagf1[?]: live
[19:18] Welvang[1p]: that all blue move sequence is so questionnable i don't know any human being playing this
[19:18] Trevoke[8k]: In the National Go Center in Washington DC I believe
[19:18] robertqi78[?]: no electronic devices allowed on players
[19:18] robertqi78[?]: face to face
[19:18] nagf1[?]: this tournament is in person at NGC
[19:18] Trevoke[8k]: With masks on though, I suppose they could have a device that taps morse code on the inside of their cheek
[19:19] Vegetable[2d]: :D
[19:19] nagf1[?]: Kevin Yang is not wearing mask
Move 0 + 74
[19:19] bigfry[8k]: Welvang, which sequence are you talking about?
Move 0 + 79
[19:19] Trevoke[8k]: *gasp* Kevin's an actual robot
[19:19] Fredda91[9d]: feels like it :D
[19:19] Vegetable[2d]: the morse device is hidden in the jail pocket.
[19:19] Fredda91[9d]: maybe KY will be our first 9p
Move 0 + 71
[19:19] Welvang[1p]: from move 71
[19:20] Welvang[1p]: this is not human
Move 0 + 70
[19:20] bigfry[8k]: What else does black even play here though?
Move 0 + 78
[19:20] bigfry[8k]: seems normal to me
Move 0 + 82
[19:20] Trevoke[8k]: you and I are probably too dumb to see how hard it actually is to find these moves
Move 0 + 71
[19:20] bigfry[8k]: no
Move 0 + 82
[19:20] nagf1[?]: AI move? Or normal human moves?
[19:21] Trevoke[8k]: Though to be fair I probably wouldn't have played K6
[19:21] Trevoke[8k]: Soooooo
[19:21] Fredda91[9d]: its AI sequence..
Move 0 + 71
[19:21] Welvang[1p]: it's all blue katago, but i'm not sure shin jinseo would play that
Move 0 + 83
[19:21] Fredda91[9d]: for me the sequence is unimaginable, its like watching top pro play
[19:21] nagf1[?]: is it all AI sequence?
[19:21] Fredda91[9d]: but playing live, shouldnt be possible to cheat, so KY must be unimaginable strong
Move 0 + 84
[19:21] Nealo[3k]: That seems to be the concensus
Move 0 + 70
[19:21] bigfry[8k]: Other than M6 at move 71, black's only other decent move is D2
Move 0 + 84
[19:21] Trevoke[8k]: They're both quite strong players, and yes, Kevin is a monster
[19:22] Fredda91[9d]: from 71 all move is same as kata
Move 0 + 71
[19:22] Welvang[1p]: yeah, if he hasnt AI implanted in his brain, he's at least top 100 or top 50 in the world
Move 0 + 73
[19:22] bigfry[8k]: no, he's not that strong
Move 0 + 71
[19:22] Welvang[1p]: but move 71 just shock me
Move 0 + 74
[19:22] Fredda91[9d]: seems to be that strong
Move 0 + 85
[19:22] Fredda91[9d]: its cool
[19:23] bigfry[8k]: no top 100 or top 50 in the world would play O10
[19:23] Welvang[1p]: that's another topic xD
[19:23] Trevoke[8k]: Even O10 was at most a 2-point mistake I think
[19:23] Welvang[1p]: and it's not a big mistake
Move 0 + 86
[19:23] bigfry[8k]: it's a big mistake
[19:23] bigfry[8k]: for a peaceful game like this
[19:23] Welvang[1p]: thanks bigfry for spreading your understanding of the game
Move 0 + 87
[19:24] bigfry[8k]: just cause I'm "8k" doesn't actually mean I'm 8k
[19:24] bigfry[8k]: lol
[19:24] Trevoke[8k]: It might be the biggest mistake of the game
[19:24] bigfry[8k]: I'm a full time teacher
[19:24] Trevoke[8k]: But that doesn't make it big :p
[19:24] Welvang[1p]: no, you are a big fry :D
[19:24] bigfry[8k]: no need to be rude Welvang
[19:24] Trevoke[8k]: I definitely wouldn't have caught O10 as a mistake if robertqi hadn't pointed it out
[19:25] robertqi78[?]: make white feel better that he lost to top 50 in the world
[19:25] Welvang[1p]: I am not being rude, i am just astonished by the level of play
[19:25] Fredda91[9d]: white also playing super well
[19:25] nagf1[?]: It is impossible for KY to cheat
[19:25] JeansebL[4d]: big fry is a compliment, small fry would be rude ^^
Move 0 + 88
[19:25] Trevoke[8k]: I'm glad I'm not the only one blown away by this game
Move 0 + 89
[19:26] RobinB[2d]: seeing it live must be something special
[19:26] nagf1[?]: yup
[19:26] robertqi78[?]: freddda, please accept alexqi on kgs as your opponent in the future
[19:26] robertqi78[?]: :-)
[19:26] Welvang[1p]: fredda only plays opponents he knows
Move 0 + 90
[19:27] Welvang[1p]: you just erase the AI use threat this way
[19:27] robertqi78[?]: he tried to play with you couple times but you only play zchen
[19:27] Fredda91[9d]: okay ill play with him
[19:27] robertqi78[?]: alexqi is white here
[19:27] Fredda91[9d]: didnt know who it was
[19:27] Fredda91[9d]: never heard his name before
Move 0 + 91
[19:27] Trevoke[8k]: <3
[19:27] Fredda91[9d]: your brother?
[19:27] Welvang[1p]: same, what's his background ? Anyone knows ?

[19:28] Fredda91[9d]: cool
[19:28] Welvang[1p]: oh, also 14, very nice
[19:28] Fredda91[9d]: hope he makes it as pro
[19:28] Trevoke[8k]: Alex is 14 and Kevin is 15, they're ... Amazing.
[19:28] RobinB[2d]: what are the players time ?
[19:28] Welvang[1p]: yes, i'm cheering for Rémi, but the level of this game is far beyond the loser finals
Move 0 + 93
[19:29] robertqi78[?]: eric and remi's game are more fun to watch for sure
Move 0 + 94
[19:29] Welvang[1p]: yeah of course it's more fun to watch human than bots basically ;)
[19:29] aesalon[3d]: remi had a good game vs alex
[19:30] aesalon[3d]: most of the game
Move 0 + 95
[19:30] Welvang[1p]: as these two are almost playing perfect
[19:30] Trevoke[8k]: I think this game is a lot of fun to watch but certainly I have more to learn than most of you :)
Move 0 + 103

[19:36] nagf1[?]: As a 13 year old, these two really inspire me
[19:36] RobinB[2d]: youre 13 ?
[19:36] Fredda91[9d]: do you know the players?
[19:37] GoDave89[4d]: who even is leading in this game? :'D
[19:37] RobinB[2d]: faith ? lol
[19:37] JeansebL[4d]: W, by 0.2 :p
[19:37] GoDave89[4d]: lol
[19:37] robertqi78[?]: black only used 23 mins
[19:37] nagf1[?]: its still a close game
[19:37] GoDave89[4d]: well watch this game now and Erics comeback later :D
Move 0 + 112
[19:41] vitamancy[2k]: Welvang, have you play Kevin the in the Transcontinental tournament, or were you in different groups?
Move 0 + 114
[19:42] Fantleroy[6d]: different groups
[19:42] Vegetable[2d]: kek, kata puts game dead even still. cool stuff, though i want white to win so we get one more game :D
Move 0 + 116
[19:45] nagf1[?]: what percentage is the AI gicing for both sides?
[19:45] nagf1[?]: giving*
Move 0 + 117
[19:46] JeansebL[4d]: Kata thinks the difference is less than 0.5 :)
[19:46] Vegetable[2d]: white tiny advantage
[19:46] Vegetable[2d]: i think
[19:46] nagf1[?]: ...
Move 0 + 118
[19:47] Nealo[3k]: Haha I only read "White tiny" and was like "are you commenting on the man's height?
[19:47] GoDave89[4d]: lol
[19:47] Vegetable[2d]: well that is prolly true too
Move 0 + 119
[19:47] GoDave89[4d]: tinyqi
[19:48] nagf1[?]: he and his fmaily are going to read this
[19:48] Nealo[3k]: This is a good matchup, fun to watch
Move 0 + 121
[19:49] Nealo[3k]: they're gonna be $*!%
[19:49] Nealo[3k]: Vegetable you'd better lay low for a while
[19:49] GoDave89[4d]: lulwut?
Move 0 + 125
[19:50] GoDave89[4d]: vegetable doesn't want to start beef :P

[19:50] Nealo[3k]: We have to make up for being bad at go :')
Move 0 + 127
[19:50] GoDave89[4d]: ah, I was confused by R19 :D
Move 0 + 133
[19:51] GoDave89[4d]: annoying
[19:51] Vegetable[2d]: white up 1.4 says kata, so close :d
[19:51] Nealo[3k]: 3 kyus, UNITE!
[19:51] RobinB[2d]: this game is kind of insane
[19:51] RobinB[2d]: i understand barely nothing
Move 0 + 134
[19:52] Vegetable[2d]: uff, white threw most of their lead thre
Move 0 + 137
[19:53] Vegetable[2d]: though apparently my kata is a bit slow, need faster computer
[19:53] Vegetable[2d]: it keeps changing its mind
Move 0 + 138
[19:53] nagf1[?]: What percentage is black right now?

[19:54] Vegetable[2d]: 17% for black says mine
[19:54] Vegetable[2d]: 1.1 points white lead, it says.
[19:54] Pepper_001[7k]: I'm running B60 at 10K playouts rn

Move 0 + 141
[19:55] RobinB[2d]: first time se gives black ahead
Move 0 + 142
[19:56] GoDave89[4d]: other game is over in the meantime - nobody knocked out today ^^
[19:57] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: Hello people we meet again
[19:57] Trevoke[8k]: you're here, that means the other game is over?
[19:57] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: with a dramatic finish yes
[19:57] nagf1[?]: Remi wins that game
[19:58] Trevoke[8k]: wow
[19:58] Lensman[?]: Eric ran out of magic
[19:58] Trevoke[8k]: Had to happen someday
Move 0 + 144
[19:58] nagf4[?]: looks like we will see a third game tomorrow for Remi and Eric
Move 0 + 145
[20:00] klarnold[2d]: and who is our recorder for this game, he says showing up late....
[20:00] nagf1[?]: this game?
[20:01] klarnold[2d]: yes
Move 0 + 146
[20:01] odnihs[5d]: i'm guessing derek?
[20:01] nagf1[?]: wow
[20:01] klarnold[2d]: cool
[20:03] pattheboy135[?]: How much time do Alex and Kevin have?
[20:03] nagf1[?]: b 38 min, w 15 min
[20:03] Fredda91[9d]: are there any photos from tournament?
[20:03] pattheboy135[?]: Thanks
[20:03] nagf1[?]: you can find the photos online
[20:04] Fredda91[9d]: where
[20:04] nagf1[?]: thanks devin
[20:04] Devin Fraze[2k]: sure thing nagf1!
Move 0 + 148
[20:05] nagf1[?]: I love burning board...:)
[20:05] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: Will Alex keep his lead till the end
Move 0 + 149
[20:05] Devin Fraze[2k]: <3
Move 0 + 150
[20:07] robertqi78[?]: that's basically even game
[20:07] nagf1[?]: Very close if you counted
[20:08] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: It is close, but it's true that w has the slightest lead
[20:10] klarnold[2d]: well, I am missing something, my count has black up, but it is close
[20:10] nagf1[?]: It all matters how black deals with the cut
[20:13] nagf1[?]: Would be gamebreaking if Alex beats kevin...
[20:13] Trevoke[8k]: This game is *riveting*
[20:14] Trevoke[8k]: Kevin must be counting furiously
[20:14] nagf1[?]: we all know the score
[20:14] AlbertYen[7d]: but endgame byo yomi hasn't been Alex's strength
[20:14] AlbertYen[7d]: to my knowledge
[20:14] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: They are not in byoyomi just yet
[20:14] AlbertYen[7d]: idk how much time they have left
[20:14] nagf1[?]: Alex still has 20 min left
[20:14] Trevoke[8k]: I mean Kevin must be counting what happens after the possible answers
[20:14] nagf1[?]: Kevin is 28 min
[20:14] AlbertYen[7d]: good for Alex
Move 0 + 151
[20:15] klarnold[2d]: that seems all out
[20:15] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: wait what
[20:15] Trevoke[8k]: According to AI, proof that Kevin is human
[20:15] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: Am I missing something or is black just disconnected
[20:15] AlbertYen[7d]: how is B not dead here
[20:16] nagf1[?]: I see what he is doing here...
[20:16] Trevoke[8k]: Kevin may have played one exchange in his mind and put the next move on the board?
[20:16] nagf1[?]: I see what he is doing here...
Move 0 + 152
[20:16] AlbertYen[7d]: Variation: ?
Move 0 + 151
[20:17] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: That's game for sure, but then Alex missed a kill against Eric so...
[20:17] Vegetable[2d]: i would snap play the cut and then something probably goes horribly wrong. or cut it some way.
[20:17] nagf1[?]: Would be difficult for kevin if ALex plays the cut
[20:17] Trevoke[8k]: Alex is probably forced to reevaluate everything to see if he missed something now
[20:17] GoDave89[4d]: yeah
[20:18] nagf1[?]: WHat is black's winrate now?
[20:18] nagf1[?]: What*
[20:18] GoDave89[4d]: blacks winrate is nonexistent :P
Move 0 + 152
[20:18] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: He's just probably debating between F6 and E6
[20:18] nagf1[?]: Third game...?
[20:18] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: And there is F6
[20:19] nagf1[?]: first player to offically beat Kevin...?
[20:19] Vegetable[2d]: i wouldn't call it yet
[20:19] RobinB[2d]: so he hallucinated ?
[20:19] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: I would call it so hard right now
[20:19] Vegetable[2d]: someone missing something :D
[20:19] AlbertYen[7d]: I just think B wasn't doing well before this anyways
[20:19] klarnold[2d]: seems the aji at j5 can be the only thing
[20:19] Fredda91[9d]: did wifi crash??
[20:20] nagf1[?]: But w can bamboo
[20:20] AlbertYen[7d]: W would win just from capturing the J7 stones
[20:20] Fredda91[9d]: cool g3
[20:20] klarnold[2d]: good point nagf
[20:20] nagf1[?]: Kevin Resigns!!
[20:20] nagf1[?]: ALex wins the game
[20:20] Trevoke[8k]: Oof
[20:20] Trevoke[8k]: Thanks for scribing
[20:20] klarnold[2d]: both go the distance
[20:20] Nealo[3k]: well played by both
Move 0 + 161
[20:21] vitamancy[2k]: Wow. Thanks. Glad to see some game 3's.
Move 0 + 152
[20:21] klarnold[2d]: not the Edward Zhang distance.....
[20:21] klarnold[2d]: different distance
[20:21] Piwh[4k]: WOW
[20:21] Aumpa[4k]: woww
[20:21] DaBird52[?]: wow
[20:21] Devin Fraze[2k]: gg!
[20:21] Vegetable[2d]: nice
[20:22] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: so game 3's coming tomorrow \o/
[20:22] klarnold[2d]: Go is a strange, we love our dominant players, but an upset now and agin keeps it interesting
[20:22] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: Someone needs to work on handwriting
[20:22] Sungsoo Kim[1d]: jk
