Fuzzi [4d?\]: If white doesn't do something at the top, it's a lost game ~ Fuzzi [4d?\]: P6 or S4 are also kind of big, but I do not think they are enough... Feels like W is about 15 pts behind, even counting komi Fuzzi [4d?\]: So the top right corner must become white in a big way, or in a small way but with sente to protect R8 Fuzzi [4d?\]: (small way => reducing, big way = living) ] ;W[lq] ;B[np] ;W[lo] ;B[mn] ;W[kn] ;B[ql]C[silver2k4 [5d\]: this game must be ownage :) MoussDiouf: do you think f3 stone can be saved ?

MagCheung [4k\]: R8 * MagCheung [4k\]: sorry L7 Black BrYanwithY [5k\]: What? BrYanwithY [5k\]: oh Fuzzi [4d?\]: Not really, this white moyo isn't too big BrYanwithY [5k\]: L7 seems tough, but since white might be feeling desparate, he might ignore it....even though it's huge MagCheung [4k\]: But L7 white big; isn't ? Fuzzi [4d?\]: Even with L7, can't be much more than 40 pts in there Fuzzi [4d?\]: Which is what black will make if he can eat R6... and if he doesn't, then he'll have all the time in the world to play L7 :> gerulas [4k\]: s8 or q8? BrYanwithY [5k\]: or neither? silver2k4 [5d\]: i think playing l7 as a forcing move before r8 was the question? BrYanwithY [5k\]: I think so Fuzzi [4d?\]: I guess black wants to keep a deep move like J6 in his pocket Fuzzi [4d?\]: If R8 turns out to not be enough ~ silver2k4 [5d\]: j6? uh gerulas [4k\]: j7 its at the border Fuzzi [4d?\]: Just trying to understand what kind of follow up L7 would be preventing silver2k4 [5d\]: yes Fuzzi [4d?\]: hmm Fuzzi [4d?\]: Maybe it's even simpler Fuzzi [4d?\]: l7 k7, how to keep sente ? BrYanwithY [5k\]: Anyone watching the video? Fuzzi [4d?\]: (without giving too much) Fuzzi [4d?\]: l7 k7 l8 k8 => too much, l7 k7 k6 l5 k8 j7 l8 (or something) => gote MagCheung [4k\]: White aji on R3 for the yose ] ;W[pp]C[BrYanwithY [5k\]: interesting, not even a direction I considered ] ;B[pq]C[Uberdude [4d?\]: black has pretty shapes Uberdude [4d?\]: that top side is beautifully efficient ] ;W[rp] ;B[qq] ;W[pm] ;B[pj]C[gelda [2k\]: on the website it's said that b is 1p not 7d ? is it right ?
