;B[al]C[chad [ 2d*\]: seems like a small blunder
chad [ 2d*\]: to me...]
;W[sr]C[chad [ 2d*\]: w still ahead on the board]
;B[ss]C[jst4fun [13k*\]: if t6 is for sente, the cost is too big, it doesn't worth it]
;W[bm]C[chad [ 2d*\]: since L7]
;B[ae]
;W[bc]C[chad [ 2d*\]: possibly L4 might have been better if deep
chad [ 2d*\]: J13 seems to have been a waste
chad [ 2d*\]: and now seems to late for a turnabout
chad [ 2d*\]: too
chad [ 2d*\]: it's a great pity we don't have stronger commentary]

;W[sr]C[jst4fun [13k*\]: my count is black about 10 pts ahead on the board,
chad [ 2d*\]: theolddan fed up with commenting?

;B[gh]C[chad [ 2d*\]: so haven't had time for a proper count]
;W[ja]
;B[ka]C[chad [ 2d*\]: aplogies]
;W[ia]C[chad [ 2d*\]: apologies even]
;B[kk]C[theolddan [ 2d*\]: feels b ahead]
;W[df]C[theolddan [ 2d*\]: but i havent counted
theolddan [ 2d*\]: will tray]
;B[fj]C[theolddan [ 2d*\]: will try it
chad [ 2d*\]: feel recorder has drifted
chad [ 2d*\]: there must be a time issue now
theolddan [ 2d*\]: have same feeling
chad [ 2d*\]: unless play started late
Ash16 [22k*\]: i dont think it did start late
jst4fun [13k*\]: b wins about 5 pts
chad [ 2d*\]: say again???
chad [ 2d*\]: for me
chad [ 2d*\]: result please]
;W[bo]
;B[em]
;W[fm]C[theolddan [ 2d*\]: i count about 4-5 pts win for b like jst4fun
jansteen [ 5d*\]: Black by 2.5?
Ash16 [22k*\]: so says GNU
chad [ 2d*\]: jansteen how about a little live commentary?
Undo: D11]
;B[ch]C[lito [ 2d*\]: b +1.5
jst4fun [13k*\]: my count is bad, but I have b win 5-7 pts
jansteen [ 5d*\]: is c12 necessary?
theolddan [ 2d*\]: yes
jansteen [ 5d*\]: sure?
theolddan [ 2d*\]: a direct cut would do the job once all libs fills
theolddan [ 2d*\]: start with c13 jansteen
jansteen [ 5d*\]: b13
Korrigan [ 6k*\]: can turn at d12 if that's the case
Korrigan [ 6k*\]: to gain 1 liberty
theolddan [ 2d*\]: c13 b13 c12 b11 c11
theolddan [ 2d*\]: c10
theolddan [ 2d*\]: then cut at d9
jansteen [ 5d*\]: i don't understand :)
theolddan [ 2d*\]: ok i am not sure any mor
theolddan [ 2d*\]: more
chad [ 2d*\]: i missed 167 tesuji
theolddan [ 2d*\]: give me a second please (by the way b has won anyway and can afford this)
theolddan [ 2d*\]: i mean c12
jansteen [ 5d*\]: right, is the result official now?
jst4fun [13k*\]: b wins 1.5, forgot komi before
theolddan [ 2d*\]: seems a misse somthing in my reading sorry
theolddan [ 2d*\]: (happens from time to time -> so i am only a weak 2d ..)
Juergonaut [ 9k*\]: Li Shen also was not sure ...
chad [ 2d*\]: could 160 be at b4
chad [ 2d*\]: makes a big difference
chad [ 2d*\]: nope
jansteen [ 5d*\]: is the result official now, counting is done?
theolddan [ 2d*\]: jansteen i think now starting with e9 + c10 as followup would do the job
theolddan [ 2d*\]: then the cut at c13
theolddan [ 2d*\]: given all libs filled of course
theolddan [ 2d*\]: d9 would be atari and c10 would have to be answered at d10
theolddan [ 2d*\]: then the b10 squeeze
chad [ 2d*\]: next round starts in 5 minutes
chad [ 2d*\]: if on time...
theolddan [ 2d*\]: and the cut at c13
jansteen [ 5d*\]: d9, e9, c10, b10 and then?
jansteen [ 5d*\]: hard to analyse like this
theolddan [ 2d*\]: c13 then
jansteen [ 5d*\]: ah yes
theolddan [ 2d*\]: your right its hard
theolddan [ 2d*\]: but i am now sure it works for b
jansteen [ 5d*\]: yes, your c10 is a nice tesuji
theolddan [ 2d*\]: c10 only move i think
jansteen [ 5d*\]: interesting problem
theolddan [ 2d*\]: there are other moves which come very close working but they dont
theolddan [ 2d*\]: my original cut at c13 didnt work indeed
theolddan [ 2d*\]: thanks for pointing this out jansteen
jansteen [ 5d*\]: welcome :)
jansteen [ 5d*\]: I cannot wait for the final game to start
jansteen [ 5d*\]: pity it will be already the last one
chad [ 2d*\]: well please comment :-)
jansteen [ 5d*\]: i cannot promise anything, preparing for tonight
jansteen [ 5d*\]: we have a small party here
theolddan [ 2d*\]: have fun
jansteen [ 5d*\]: thank you
jansteen [ 5d*\]: any party tonight at the London congress?
chad [ 2d*\]: the usual dinner
theolddan [ 2d*\]: normally they have a new years evening meal
chad [ 2d*\]: the venue has a huge gala
jansteen [ 5d*\]: ah, that's nice
chad [ 2d*\]: but that's different
jansteen [ 5d*\]: when i was in London we had a late night supper in an Indian restaurant
jansteen [ 5d*\]: but not with all participants, a selected group
jansteen [ 5d*\]: that was some 15 years ago
chad [ 2d*\]: much the same I guess
chad [ 2d*\]: self selected
chad [ 2d*\]: it's surprising how few attend
jansteen [ 5d*\]: well, i know a friend of mine (Berkelmans) has a party at a friend's place
jansteen [ 5d*\]: maybe others also have activities scheduled
chad [ 2d*\]: perhaps they should charge £5 more
chad [ 2d*\]: and have a pay bar
chad [ 2d*\]: guess £10 would be nearer the mark...
chad [ 2d*\]: and even that maybe too cheap
chad [ 2d*\]: could be chaotic :-)
jansteen [ 5d*\]: yes, a great silvester party would be an attraction for sure])
