Wester]C[EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Good morning everyone. I'm afraid that due to technical difficulties with our host, we will not have a live video feed today either for the second board. mcw85 [7k\]: EuroGo: Are the results posted on the internet yet? noned [2d\]: http://www.egc2009.nl/?q=node/1472 mcw85 [7k\]: Thank you. Reym: yep thanks noned, i completetly missed this "wall list" link mcw85 [7k\]: I checked last night before bed, they must have just added it. noned [2d\]: np :) mcw85 [7k\]: Is black's clock ticking away? ] ;B[pd]C[EuroGoTV2 [-\]: I was looking for Frank :P EuroGoTV2 [-\]: He is coming soon now EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Frank has arrived ] ;W[dd] ;B[pq] ;W[dp] ;B[cf] ;W[fc] ;B[bd] ;W[cc] ;B[ci] ;W[po] ;B[pm] ;W[no] ;B[nq] ;W[lo] ;B[pj] ;W[lq] ;B[fq]C[seppy [?\]: p2! ] ;W[eq] ;B[fp] ;W[cn] ;B[ip]C[Violence [-\]: So Black declares he will win the tournament Violence [-\]: how bold mcw85 [7k\]: Has he? mcw85 [7k\]: Who won last year? ] ;W[in] ;B[jq] ;W[mq] ;B[np]C[Violence [-\]: check RustySword's profile Highwayman [1d\]: taranu,among europeans freekevin [14k\]: hmm freekevin [14k\]: is that white's turn ? mcw85 [7k\]: Oh, Chi Min has. mcw85 [7k\]: "Among Europeans?" Isn't this all EGF? EuroGoTV2 [-\]: This is an open tournament, but the championship is european, so only a european can become champion of Europe EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Park Jong Wook won in Sweden last year EuroGoTV2 [-\]: See http://egc2008.eu/en/congress/scoreboard/index.php TeeSushi [2d\]: i wonder if there will be a european in the top 5 this year ] ;W[mp]C[EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Catalin was shared 5th last year ] ;B[rq]C[mcw85 [7k\]: Well, Oh Chi Min lives in Europe, so can he be the European Champ? Or is it native Europeans? TeeSushi [2d\]: native europeans mcw85 [7k\]: I see, thanks. EuroGoTV2 [-\]: If your passport says you're European TeeSushi [2d\]: i dont know the exact terms ... but something like this at least ^^ EuroGoTV2 [-\]: E.g., Guo Juan has won it a few times I believe zxccxz [2d?\]: ugh, if you're asian you're asian, not european, u just live there. mcw85 [7k\]: I see. I hope a game between Taranu and Dinerchtein is shown on KGS. EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Guo Juan is a full citizen of The Netherlands zxccxz [2d?\]: she's still chinese TeeSushi [2d\]: she is born chinese maybe mcw85 [7k\]: ... That's a very bad attitude, in my opinion. zxccxz [2d?\]: when u get stamped on your passport another citizenship, u don't magically change your heritage, race, etc.. TeeSushi [2d\]: but if she gets citizienship of netherlands than she is european ^^ zxccxz [2d?\]: at any rate, this, like most other things on kgs, is just an opinion. bkb [4k\]: tolerance is usual in go-community, so it's a bit weird to start such a discussion Violence [-\]: Well, I mean, I think we can take a page from China, Japan, and Korea Violence [-\]: Japan in particular, the strongest player in the country is often not Japanese Violence [-\]: but he's considered the strongest Japanese player. noned [2d\]: b has slightly better position to me hfdtd [1d\]: Guo has married a dutch man, since then she is dutch and was european champion in 1994-1997 Orc [4d\]: there is no country bounder in GO, its global Violence [-\]: So I'm glad that you don't have to be born in Europe to claim the Euro Championship bkb [4k\]: agreed with Orc zxccxz [2d?\]: well, that's where we differ, i think u should be born in europe to claim the championship Violence [-\]: Why? Lionking [2d\]: but being asian, it's just not fair Lionking [2d\]: :D Violence [-\]: Go Seigen was the Japan's strongest player for a while, but he was Chinese Violence [-\]: Cho Chikun was Korean. Cho U is Taiwanese menchi [?\]: being asian is like doping ] ;W[ml]C[EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Can you please continue this discussion in another chatroom? ;) Violence [-\]: yet all of them represent Japan in international tournaments Lionking [2d\]: so this IS a chatroom? ] ;B[qf]C[Violence [-\]: Haha, alright, I'll stop EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Actually it isn't, it's a kibitz room ;) Lionking [2d\]: you just stated it is one :( EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Can you continue the discussion whether this is a chatroom in another kibitz room? ;) Lionking [2d\]: ;) Lionking [2d\]: *blink* ;) Lionking [2d\]: sure ;) mcw85 [7k\]: I do prefer black's position. Lionking [2d\]: me too Lionking [2d\]: n8 seems slow, eager to find out what white wants with it Processus [2k\]: what zbout Q 18 here Processus [2k\]: black n 8 is a great moove Lionking [2d\]: why Processus [2k\]: so i think white play here first no? Processus [2k\]: because that's attack white gorup and that make moyo for black no? Lionking [2d\]: maybe, but n8 feels slow Processus [2k\]: what about Q 18 here? ] ;W[pc]C[Processus [2k\]: ook ] ;B[oc] ;W[ob] ;B[qc] ;W[pb] ;B[nc]C[Lionking [2d\]: chi-min playing blitz again takagawa13 [5k?\]: its round 2 mcw85 [7k\]: Maybe be, but playing good, too. ] ;W[rc]C[mcw85 [7k\]: Indeed, it is. ] ;B[qd] ;W[nb]C[Akisame [8k\]: he will win this tournament ] ;B[mc] ;W[qb]C[Akisame [8k\]: oh chi-min ] ;B[rd] ;W[rb]C[mcw85 [7k\]: He has declared it.

Ephemere [2d\]: namely: j16 and the o5 group... mcw85 [7k\]: N4 stones aren't nice for W. EuroGoTV2 [-\]: time left for white: 1:52, black: 2:27 Lionking [2d\]: black used 3 minutes? :D EuroGoTV2 [-\]: indeed mcw85 [7k\]: Someone should tell im to hurry up. Lionking [2d\]: :D EuroGoTV2 [-\]: both players have left the board at the moment mcw85 [7k\]: Going to the bathroom to look at their crib sheets. EuroGoTV2 [-\]: and they are back Kratzdrink [2k\]: in Hamburg Oh Chi-Min played all games beside the one against in-seong within 30 minutes ] ;W[fr] ;B[gr] ;W[er]C[EuroGoTV2 [-\]: Oh is thinking hard right now mcw85 [7k\]: Can white play moves ike this when he is behind? :-/ ] ;B[on]C[SSStylish [3k?\]: Maybe someone will punish him this time :) ] ;W[oo] ;B[mm]C[Novalys [2k\]: Moves like what ? mcw85 [7k\]: F2. Novalys [2k\]: it was very big Novalys [2k\]: it removes the invasion and makes black weak Sheeple [3k\]: big gote endgame mcw85 [7k\]: Slow and gote. Novalys [2k\]: not necessarily endgame Novalys [2k\]: Now that F3 is weaker, m3 is stronger if want to move EuroGoTV2 [-\]: black invasion wouldn've have been endgame EuroGoTV2 [-\]: so white's move wasn't endgame either EuroGoTV2 [-\]: *wouldn't Novalys [2k\]: thanks eurogo ;) Sheeple [3k\]: hey this #2 eurogotv has an opinion :) Novalys [2k\]: yeah boxking watching the game EuroGoTV2 [-\]: sorry, I'm new to this :P mcw85 [7k\]: Still think it is slow. :-P holynec [?\]: i forgive you eurogotv2 holynec [?\]: i like opinions Novalys [2k\]: appears slow to you probably but it looked like one of the last big point Novalys [2k\]: For w and b Novalys [2k\]: i'm sure chi min will get somethin really nice against F3 soon mcw85 [7k\]: He will attack his own stones? Sheeple [3k\]: i think that's exactly what he meant :) holynec [?\]: black mustve studied bottom shape a lot Novalys [2k\]: oups white sorry * mcw85 [7k\]: :-P dutchman [3d\]: many men do Novalys [2k\]: I though chi min was white because there is secure cash everywhere, as chi min often does ^^ Novalys [2k\]: thought* Sheeple [3k\]: i bet he treats right side as mostly cash ] ;W[lm] ;B[mn] ;W[ln] ;B[hn] ;W[hm] ;B[gn] ;W[io] ;B[hp]C[mcw85 [7k\]: N5 is worth quite a few points?

EuroGoTV2 [-\]: komi is 8 points with black winning when equal points, so 7.5 Mukti [4d\]: OK, thx ] ;W[ll]C[Sheeple [3k\]: which rules? ] ;B[ol]C[EuroGoTV2 [-\]: ING Mukti [4d\]: C9 is the last big move, but w feels a bit worried about his cener group Mukti [4d\]: But if b gets C8 the gap in terr. becomes too big Edelweiss [-\]: difficult for W to tenuki now Edelweiss [-\]: if W c9, B N5 maybe Mukti [4d\]: I do not understand M8 well... Edelweiss [-\]: N5 bigger for cash Sheeple [3k\]: w can afford to tenuki this much less than c9 ] ;W[nl] ;B[cl]C[Edelweiss [-\]: :s Edelweiss [-\]: W is late now Mukti [4d\]: why did w play M8 - he lost sente now... Sheeple [3k\]: he felt the cut was too big? hui [1k\]: try to keep some aji maybe on the right side?
