aitkensam [?\]: alex must have studied this recently i bet

philiph [3d\]: r2 now, right?
aitkensam [?\]: shimari in LL must mean this is good for soeone.. but i dont know who ^^
bucko [1k\]: B will have sente, so I guess B can make it good for him.
macfadyen [-\]: notice that q7 is a vital ladder breaker
Uberdude [3d\]: would it be better rotated through pi/2
macfadyen [-\]: ll shimari looks OK for black. 
macfadyen [-\]: It is quite likely that the fight in lower right will allow black h3 in sente, then c3 can't live

]
(;B[pj]C[macfadyen [-\]: Black has 3 main choices with his aji, to leave it so that moves around h3 are sente, to play q10 immediately threatening ladder at m7
macfadyen [-\]: or to play a fierce ladder breaker at d15 or thereabouts
macfadyen [-\]: he's gone for the quiet line
aitkensam [?\]: if he is gonna play Q10 not better to play it before the cut?
Javaness [1d\]: should white play on the left side now?
rayen [2d\]: hoho trickplay !
macfadyen [-\]: Traditionally Black plays r2 and s1 first, now White has the option of cleaning up all aji like this:
rayen [2d\]: its sente

(;W[mn]
;B[lo]
;W[ml]C[BGAadmin [-\]: how does N8 compare to M6?
aitkensam [?\]: K2 close to working now
macfadyen [-\]: Normal play here is just to squeeze
macfadyen [-\]: Probably he is checking moves like q9 to be sure they dont do real damage
macfadyen [-\]: In  particular he needs a view as to whether the threats on O6 group are important to him on the right side
macfadyen [-\]: and if so he can't play the capturing race on the left out too far

macfadyen [-\]: This is a game very near the beginning in which White has deviated from normal joseki first]
(;B[nl]
;W[ln]C[macfadyen [-\]: It seems Alex found something he was frightened of on the right side.. Now definitely time to squeeze
macfadyen [-\]: Lets try to count.
macfadyen [-\]: Black is getting about 20 on the right side
macfadyen [-\]: White a bit more once the stones are captured
macfadyen [-\]: Plus 6.5 komi gives White 10 points in whole lower right
macfadyen [-\]: so Black's lower left corner has to outplay the 2 hoshi stones by 10 points
macfadyen [-\]: Black can use k2 and j3 and get 25 points or sso
macfadyen [-\]: but then White has first move around c10 and that is hard for Black
macfadyen [-\]: I think Black has to get to D11 or near there
macfadyen [-\]: Then the 'blackish' part of the board in the lower left is bigger than the 'whitish part at the top

macfadyen [-\]: So White must invade lower left
Knotwilg [1d\]: or is S4 not Black's?
Archaic [1k\]: yea black should s4
macfadyen [-\]: Black can have k2 or s4 in sente, not both
Knotwilg [1d\]: ok quite so
macfadyen [-\]: here it looks like k2 is much the better point to have
macfadyen [-\]: M6 is a strong move. I don't see what O8 was protecting against
]
(;B[kn]
(;W[km]C[macfadyen [-\]: Black's M5 stones are getting heavy
macfadyen [-\]: Black really needs to get K2 in before it disappears
Knotwilg [1d\]: maybe double hane then sacrifice
macfadyen [-\]: Interesting, but hard to see thickness in the centre being bigger than just taking the lower side
Knotwilg [1d\]: especially since D10 is not there
macfadyen [-\]: White could have taken the side last move
macfadyen [-\]: Knot's line is this?

macfadyen [-\]: This is a very strange time to be thinking, L7 was obvious, so only play L6 when you know where the sequence is going]
(;B[jn]C[Javaness [1d\]: indicates he was uncertain about L6 perhaps?

macfadyen [-\]: Now White K3 and Black is in trouble]
;W[jm]C[dantesxx [6k\]: now time to play k2 ?
Repacse [6d?\]: looks promising for white
macfadyen [-\]: Yes, must k2, though r2, s1 first is better style
macfadyen [-\]: that leave a little aji to prevent things like s7 later
macfadyen [-\]: Need to check that w cant cut:

]
;W[hl]C[Javaness [1d\]: big mistake
macfadyen [-\]: White confesses
Knotwilg [1d\]: yes, seems tooearly invasion

macfadyen [-\]: He has a couple of free stones:

Uberdude [3d\]: double hane surely?

macfadyen [-\]: Black has sente at L1, so there is a good chance of taking the whole lower left

kyyni [5k\]: looks like w has so far had a free-flowing game
macfadyen [-\]: Yes, for the momentit is small to cut off n5 stones.

macfadyen [-\]: Black should probably either h6 immediately, then he can L1 and claim the lower side, or else G8 and make the centre hot, hoping to induce g7 atari and protect himself in sente
Zureiyaa [4d\]: but black didn't play ladder breaker move like d15 which is usual
Javaness [1d\]: is J8 possible?

macfadyen [-\]: Q10 is also usual, it makes a position on the right side in sente
macfadyen [-\]: The ladder breaker is one way, but you take a lot of damage on the other side
]
(;B[gl]C[macfadyen [-\]: We can see that White has quite a fixation on the centre, with k7, j7

macfadyen [-\]: Black plan is working nicely
lemuria [1d\]: what about the other cut
lemuria [1d\]: it looked dangerous
CCSakura [1k\]: which cut
reisen [3d?\]: Yes, this fixes almost all of B's problems in this area.
lemuria [1d\]: h6
macfadyen [-\]: Better style for White to play g9 without either cut
]
(;W[ck]C[Javaness [1d\]: c9, i don't understand
Zureiyaa [4d\]: c9 is nice
macfadyen [-\]: He's playing a game of territory

CCSakura [1k\]: sente reduce?
Javaness [1d\]: what if black C11
CCSakura [1k\]: well semi sente
simpkin [6k\]: c9 looks like a misclick to me which means it must be entirely brilliant
macfadyen [-\]: If Black plays h9, L1, f8, the corner is probably secure]
(;B[ll]C[
macfadyen [-\]: M8 remarkable, Alex's brain seems to be steaming a bit
Knotwilg [1d\]: as Mac points out, bottom left is focus
BGAadmin [-\]: black maybe using aji for J8 atari before he playes H9
]
;W[lm]C[macfadyen [-\]: OK that was perhaps good kikashi

macfadyen [-\]: I prefer this for W

macfadyen [-\]: Black must surely play f8, the question is only whether to use L1 or h9 first
Knotwilg [1d\]: h9 after kikashi
Knotwilg [1d\]: or maybe W ignores?
macfadyen [-\]: n9 is also big, but that gives too much belief to a white moyo
macfadyen [-\]: Very surprising to see c9 played so quickly.
macfadyen [-\]: It is as if Bei reckons he only has enough energy for one hour's proper reading, and wants to coast until move 150 then open up with his big guns
]
(;B[hk]
;W[il]C[macfadyen [-\]: He did the atari
macfadyen [-\]: Maybe all that thinking was looking to see if j8 could be useful
lemuria [1d\]: which means he will follow?
BGAadmin [-\]: is there any aji at G3 in combination with the K3 cut?
macfadyen [-\]: Black can try G9 (force white to find something)
macfadyen [-\]: But the h9 stone is not doing much
CCSakura [1k\]: how bout f8
Knotwilg [1d\]: L1-F8 for B is Macfadyens standard line
macfadyen [-\]: F8 is the obvious idea here. A question is whether L1 sente is important

macfadyen [-\]: If Black is worried about the lower side, then L1 and F7, but F7 instead of F8 is a big concession
macfadyen [-\]: So Black has to play f8 or G9, with or without L1

;B[eh]
;W[fi]C[zedi [1d\]: should b worry about F7?
BGAadmin [-\]: white is trying to force black to spend an extra move at F7
Javaness [1d\]: was white C12 directly bad?
BGAadmin [-\]: hard to use G7 that way perhaps?
pt0123 [13k\]: yeah, but wouldn't that mean losing the whole lower left to black?
pt0123 [13k\]: once G7 is caught
macfadyen [-\]: Black is giving up perhaps20 points of his lower left, but in return reduces w to nothing on left side, and has a group to attack
macfadyen [-\]: Black has moves like e9, attempting to capture g7 in sente,

macfadyen [-\]: or he can just settle with c13 and see what drops
macfadyen [-\]: White may have no time for f7cos B escapes and attacks with h11
Javaness [1d\]: C6 feels naughty to me
macfadyen [-\]: Black is leaving out L1 for the moment, one possible reason is that he plans to use n9 and squeeze the cventre stones
BGAadmin [-\]: should white try to play J2 first then?
macfadyen [-\]: BGA admin reports Bei used 15 mins, Alex 85
odif [6k\]: instinctivly i would have d14 and not e12, because that invites f11
macfadyen [-\]: Black cut immediately is no use...

macfadyen [-\]: OK this is the position, time for lunch, Blackwill seal, and if he plays L1 it will be a well timed kikashi, not a lunchtime procrastinator

macfadyen [-\]: 76 moves played, those other lines were examples of the ;ife and death fight
macfadyen [-\]: I agree that w has more work to do
pt0123 [13k\]: what about white G4 in response to black D6?
macfadyen [-\]: lets look:
madcow [1d\]: okie
macfadyen [-\]: this is the position at lunch

macfadyen [-\]: Black has only one big territory, but he has a nice wall at def 12
pt0123 [13k\]: how about G11 then?
macfadyen [-\]: If black keeps e5 and e10 cut apart, and avoids dying with the whole j6 group, then he will have things to do

bigben79 [8d\]: difficult to call. it's purely a reading game now.
macfadyen [-\]: I think white's only decent strategy is to sacrifice e5 for a strong connection at f7
