Macfadyen [?\]: I have restarted a new clone, but im not sure anyone can see it.

VIXX [8d\]: i don't get g2 at all
albatros [5d\]: why are there two demonstrations of this game? (sorry if it was answered already, i just came)
Tarkus [7k\]: the other is Mcfadyen commenting
r0n1n [?\]: second one is commentary
VIXX [8d\]: w would have simply died if d3 were at e2 instead, making g2 almost equal a pass
albatros [5d\]: ah, okay

albatros [5d\]: i was away for 5 minutes, what happened here?

VIXX [8d\]: could be a 1 lib difference haha
VIXX [8d\]: in w's favour
melkhiresa [1d\]: should have just played m11 instead of pushing

albatros [5d\]: not it's alive
Penfold [3k\]: black peep at n16 threatened an exchange that white did not like?
VIXX [8d\]: already too invested in that idea
albatros [5d\]: I guess now the game is over again, but for another player already 
VIXX [8d\]: maybe
VIXX [8d\]: there's still the ko on the top left

VIXX [8d\]: off the top of my head anyway

leachy [1k\]: before white was well ahead but now...
leachy [1k\]: i dunno
VIXX [8d\]: roughly 6 points behind
VIXX [8d\]: depends on the ko though
VIXX [8d\]: indeed, surely w would have seen p19 with a little more time
rollstory [1d\]: that corner is a ko? like n18 t18 s19 r19 q19 q18 ?
