Tasky [1d\]: cut cut
CptHook [5k\]: h15?
Laman [1d\]: G14?
CptHook [5k\]: cut works bad i think
Lentyi [2d\]: g15 ?
Lentyi [2d\]: =)
]
;W[id]
;B[hf]
;W[ge]
;B[gf]C[workforce [2d\]: cant cut because of b having played c15
CptHook [5k\]: they meant  f14..
CptHook [5k\]: g14*
Laman [1d\]: go, Jan!
Wizzos [1d\]: a15 ?
Tasky [1d\]: ?
mafutrct [-\]: f16 means war
workforce [2d\]: w a15 sente but not more....
Lentyi [2d\]: i like first
holynec [?\]: cho seokbin is the scariest man on the earth
Lentyi [2d\]: f18 
]
;W[he]C[mafutrct [-\]: tbh i'd be scared if a 7d played f16 against me
]
;B[fb]
;W[fa]C[mafutrct [-\]: and i'm not that easily scared ._.
]
;B[jf]C[mafutrct [-\]: wow, white's shape sucks
Tasky [1d\]: now b will get nice points on top
Kachnak [2d\]: i dont get h15 
]
;W[kd]C[mafutrct [-\]: yes, looks just heavy
mafutrct [-\]: picture book attack for b
mamutik [1d\]: kachnak: me neither
scurge [5d\]: h15 = can cut three stones + helps shape it looks ok to mee
mauno [2k\]: k14 instead of h 15 for white
mafutrct [-\]: no
]
;B[lc]C[Kanin [6d\]: cut three stones?
mafutrct [-\]: it cant cut
faignantix [4d\]: can't cut
CptHook [5k\]: w cant cut at f15
]
;W[ld]C[Faonig [3k\]: lol
mafutrct [-\]: w k14 certainly looked better and more natural instead of h15
Kanin [6d\]: delusions
scurge [5d\]: ah cant cut ^^
mauno [2k\]: white's position is just awful already
faignantix [4d\]: so h15 looks very bad
Faonig [3k\]: xD
Kanin [6d\]: perhaps white also felt it could cut, otherwise I see no reason for H15
scurge [5d\]: I dont get H15
]
;B[md]C[mafutrct [-\]: g11 is another sente for b, so the shape he got in the center is great
]
;W[me]
;B[nd]
;W[lf]
;B[kh]C[faignantix [4d\]: it will be very hard for w now
mafutrct [-\]: w needs to attack j4 in a very large scale way to compensate
mamutik [1d\]: maybe it´s just a mistake by white ... but unexpectable one ...
mafutrct [-\]: there is no way he'll be able to do that though.
Laman [1d\]: amazing and sad at the same time how easily can Cho get advantage against a 6d
Tasky [1d\]: b will strengthen center by this attack and will therefore helpj4 
scurge [5d\]: w is in no position to attack, but the position is far from hopeless for white
mafutrct [-\]: heh, even i could get some nice attack running after h15 :)
grimmjow1 [1d\]: was a missread probably
CptHook [5k\]: w g16 probably eye and sente
scurge [5d\]: now how to make sabaki or "haengma" is crucial
]
;W[gi]
;B[mh]C[Longshi [-\]: tenuki is a pretty unique way to make haengma
Kanin [6d\]: H15 was almost like passing, I think the result is terrible for white
mamutik [1d\]: just wait for white to show himself, don´t be so hopeless ;)
mafutrct [-\]: g16 is not sente locally, and only half an eye
mafutrct [-\]: also, its going backwards
mafutrct [-\]: like passing
mafutrct [-\]: there is no way white would want to play there
mafutrct [-\]: unless he is desperate for life
Wizzos [1d\]: f15 e15 e19 d19 g19 e16 and then a15 more than sente?
CptHook [5k\]: it is a big eye
]
;W[of]C[mafutrct [-\]: big eye? that is impossible by definition o.o
scurge [5d\]: was g11 si important? I tought that if e12 white can sacrifice 2 stones?
edo1 [5k\]: should spoile the big moyo
edo1 [5k\]: like that 4example ?
CptHook [5k\]: why is g16 half of eye?
]
;B[qf]C[Longshi [-\]: probably white feels unless he turns left into big potential he'll just be suffering until the end of the game
mafutrct [-\]: because of the weaknessed at j15, j17, j18 
way2good [1k?\]: this is so over
Longshi [-\]: but I don't like g11 at all XD even shapewise you just feel like b will end up playing f11 ^^
]
;W[gd]C[mafutrct [-\]: i think g11 is a trap for b to over-attack
]
;B[eh]C[CptHook [5k\]: if b j15 w j17
Muscadet [?\]: g11 looks like a bad shape move.
Kanin [6d\]: G11 is also necessary if white wants to have any prospects of counter-attacking
scurge [5d\]: after g11 e12 is so good for b
]
;W[fh]
;B[ei]C[Kanin [6d\]: agreed, I think the local shape should be white F11
mafutrct [-\]: now kill 2 stones
mafutrct [-\]: or res :\\
Feelss [5k\]: and l 13 dont work for w?
nanotech [2k\]: b is preventing l13  cut
scurge [5d\]: but hmm, so white is alive still ko at r17 (i hope) and weakness around k13
Longshi [-\]: white living at r17 is not entirely obvious though ^^
CptHook [5k\]: w j13 and l13  maybe?
AsiuKC [11k\]: j13 is good
scurge [5d\]: longshi: yea mainly because it kills l16
]
;W[gk]C[mamutik [1d\]: white must have had some plan with g11 with all the possibilities ...
yvontex: Bonjour~
CptHook [5k\]: i think w can make a second eye easy..
]
;B[ek]C[scurge [5d\]: white is the most ressourceful player I know, so I think this game can still turn around
]
;W[ck]
;B[cl]C[Kachnak [2d\]: black playing this fast seems pretty confident...
]
;W[bl]
;B[cj]C[StrasChp3 [-\]: black has used 10min, white 30min 
Tasky [1d\]: b getting shapp
Kanin [6d\]: C10 looks like extending kindness to white, what an aji-killer
]
;W[bj]
;B[dk]
;W[bk]
;B[gl]
;W[hl]C[Tasky [1d\]: I think w's only chance is to make a splitting attack on j4 and e9 
]
;B[gm]C[Tasky [1d\]: and then exploit l13 
zen [1d\]: e7
mafutrct [-\]: w is too thin
mafutrct [-\]: h9, g10 issues prevent anything
Kanin [6d\]: sadly, white is too weak in the center to fight adequately
CptHook [5k\]: f10 sente
Feelss [5k\]: but need to try something
Feelss [5k\]: looks last opotunitys
scurge [5d\]: I would feel like wanting to play p12 as white ASAP
edo1 [5k\]: w should cut at k12
edo1 [5k\]: somehow
CptHook [5k\]: w f10 and f9.?
ManInMe [6k\]: I like the Somehow xD
]
;W[hm]C[Rock2 [1d\]: somehow = with 6d magic
ManInMe [6k\]: :p
mafutrct [-\]: h7 is a special plan
CptHook [5k\]: plan to die
mafutrct [-\]: usually, one would want to play f9 in this shape, but it fails
mafutrct [-\]: the idea is h7 f9 g10 and g6 ends in gote
mafutrct [-\]: so w can use k13
mafutrct [-\]: and if b prevents k13, w can g6 himself
zen [1d\]: actually usually you would want to play e7
mafutrct [-\]: e7 looks like overplay
zen [1d\]: sure, because w is a bit too weak
mafutrct [-\]: e7 is not very important i believe
CptHook [5k\]: idea, but b can cut at h9
mafutrct [-\]: on this board, it's survival
mafutrct [-\]: it's not about minor shape details
]
;B[hj]C[mafutrct [-\]: oh my, there goes the special plan
edo1 [5k\]: s...t. now securing the cut
edo1 [5k\]: with swear attack
Kanin [6d\]: white can think about going for a trade
Kanin [6d\]: hane at G6
Kanin [6d\]: it's the only avenue of hope i can find in this situation
xDragon [-\]: for j4 stones right
Kanin [6d\]: right
Tasky [1d\]: can't b live on bottom with k2 ?
mafutrct [-\]: i think k2 only lives 90%
Hokkanen [8k\]: Black up?
Kanin [6d\]: probably, so either way white is pretty hopeless :)
scurge [5d\]: so what if white connectes?
Hokkanen [8k\]: Black's played some pretty nice moves
Kanin [6d\]: regardless of which connection you mean I will cut
scurge [5d\]: g10 h9 h11 k10 j11 k9 f8 f7 e7 
Hokkanen [8k\]: f18 for sente was cool
edo1 [5k\]: so probably to press the black g14 group was the best choice for w.
Kanin [6d\]: scurge, I see no reason why black couldn't hane after white H11
Hokkanen [8k\]: w thinking a while
CptHook [5k\]: i would connect at g10 and then on the 11 th line
scurge [5d\]: hmm
lealo [14k\]: time left?
Kanin [6d\]: I'm not saying it's a simple read, but it looks harder for white from where I'm standing
scurge [5d\]: yeah pretty much
blurb: i have a suspicion who might meet in the final no surprise though :)
Hokkanen [8k\]: Cho and Dai?
blurb: when will be final?
ManInMe [6k\]: yup
scurge [5d\]: i tought smth like g10 h9 h11 j11 j10 j9 k10 k9 j12 k11 k13 j13 l13  but this is pretty hopeless for white
CptHook [5k\]: yup
StrasChp1 [-\]: 15min left for white 
EGMutex [6d\]: w cant save all
StrasChp1 [-\]: 45 min for black 
lealo [14k\]: thx
scurge [5d\]: or is it? 
EGMutex [6d\]: f13 lost
oupas [11k?\]: hmm sorry 45 min use or left ?
Laman [1d\]: left
Feelss [5k\]: left
StrasChp1 [-\]: left 
oupas [11k?\]: thx  ^^
Kanin [6d\]: this is why I think whites only chance is to go for a trade, although it looks hard
StrasChp1 [-\]: np
Muscadet [?\]: g6 and go for an exchange?
CptHook [5k\]: i think only way scurge...all or nothing to save
CptHook [5k\]: but can w read so far?
scurge [5d\]: ^^ sure
]
;W[gn]C[CptHook [5k\]: hmm, nice one
]
;B[gj]C[CptHook [5k\]: after h3 b is crashed..
Samui [2k\]: black e 16 ?
Samui [2k\]: and attack ?
Kanin [6d\]: there is still much room for B to handle lightly on the bottom
]
;W[kr]C[Kanin [6d\]: but atleast the game continues for a while longer, white can seek chances
alibigood [2k\]: w cant eat f17
Samui [2k\]: yeah i mean it with e 16 ^^
]
;B[in]C[Samui [2k\]: cant eat
CptHook [5k\]: why w not f8
CptHook [5k\]: small
]
;W[jm]
;B[hn]
;W[fn]
;B[kn]C[Kanin [6d\]: M8?
WWSD [2k\]: probably
Slayan [6k\]: who leads?
EGMutex [6d\]: m8 k8
]
;W[fj]C[Kanin [6d\]: perhaps one of the best ways to try and beat players like Cho is to appeal to their strong confidence i nliving anywhere, sometimes they will be over-confident :)
CptHook [5k\]: f10 very bad
]
;B[fk]C[WWSD [2k\]: haha nice sport psychology tip:P
sixgen [3d\]: the number of cutting points in the w shape just exceeded my counting ability..
jisback [8k\]: white bad move
Kanin [6d\]: psychology is my major, afterall ;)
]
;W[hk]
;B[ij]C[Samui [2k\]: k9?
WWSD [2k\]: i dont think white gaiedn anything from that exchange 
WWSD [2k\]: gained*
]
;W[jj]C[Kanin [6d\]: right, F10 looks like a rash move
WWSD [2k\]: when in doubt... tsuke
Kanin [6d\]: ah? this nose-tesuji is brilliant?
Kanin [6d\]: hohoho
Bogin [-\]: j7?
CptHook [5k\]: b can f11 
]
;B[im]C[Kanin [6d\]: yeah, J7 looks great
AsiuKC [11k\]: f8
jisback [8k\]: yes 
Kanin [6d\]: white is collapsed
jisback [8k\]: bad move
WWSD [2k\]: i kinda feel bad for white, trying SO HARD just to break even
jisback [8k\]: f8
EGMutex [6d\]: resign
moulix [1d\]: :D
StrasChp1 [-\]: white resign
Muscadet [?\]: over
DarkMastor [9k\]: f8
CptHook [5k\]: w complicated to much i guess
AsiuKC [11k\]: black win
Kanin [6d\]: whites opening is hard already after black is allowed to get K17+F16
Stinson [6d\]: k10 is a fake suji --'
Kanin [6d\]: it got even more difficult after the puzzling move at h15
CptHook [5k\]: now only f8
mauno [2k\]: k10 is just nonsense
Kanin [6d\]: but white deserves credit for showing good fighting spirit at the bottom
CptHook [5k\]: not really was a fight bottom
Stinson [6d\]: i love white group at the bottom <3
donGoku [3k\]: resign, no another way...
donGoku [3k\]: oh...
CptHook [5k\]: is the game over?
AltTab [3d\]: yes
CptHook [5k\]: stras?
CptHook [5k\]: ahh, sorry i 
Kaytee [5k\]: hi, where can i c the results?
