;B[ee];W[hh];B[cg];W[ge];B[cc]C[
TheTurtle 30k : Well, TheTurtle *is* slow ... (5)
]
;W[fb];B[gc];W[eh];B[eg];W[hc]C[
TheTurtle 30k : TT is doing a search 24 width 4 depth with alfabeta pruning (10)
pem started observation.
]
;B[dh]C[
gunnar 4k : Black seems to like the second line. Four out of five so far. (11)
pem 2k*: You mean white. (11)
gunnar 4k : I certainly do. (11)
]
;W[bb]C[
TheTurtle 30k : I'm using forth, right now interpreted by gorth (12)
]
;B[fh]C[
TheTurtle 30k : in a couple of weeks I should have a compiled version at least twice as fast (13)
]
;W[ae]C[
pem 2k*: w got tired of the 2nd line and moved to the 1st. :) (14)
]
;B[hb]C[
TheTurtle 30k : yes, it's an old language :-) (15)
]
;W[bf];B[hd]C[
gunnar 4k : Back to the second. The center seems to be black's privilege. (17)
]
;W[ec];B[fd]C[
pem 2k*: The edges too, if w keeps giving up the stones placed there. (19)
TheTurtle 30k : when you appreciates RPN. I like it very much. (19)
]
;W[bh]C[
gunnar 4k : Black seems to have at least a basic understanding of connections and string tactics. Should be sufficient to win this game. (20)
]
;B[bg]C[
gunnar 4k : White is soon out of potential eye space. (21)
TheTurtle 30k : I'm afraid thar your program's style will hit on all the weaknesses of mine (21)
]
;W[gb];B[ch]C[
TheTurtle 30k : oh! I'm an expert on subtle nuances of  'almost radom' go :-) (23)
]
;W[ha]C[
TheTurtle 30k : not a cut, but 2  of your stones droped to only 2 liberties (24)
]
;B[ic]C[
TheTurtle 30k : TT loves that :-( (25)
puzz started observation.
]
;W[ff]C[
TheTurtle 30k : I've to improve L&D of groups. A lot. (26)
]
;B[ef]C[
TheTurtle 30k : That's good & save, TT tenukies far too much (27)
]
;W[dd]C[
TheTurtle 30k : In 19x19 it's not so terrible, but in 9x9 is too dangerous (28)
]
;B[ce];W[ag]C[
 gunnar started observation.
]
;B[cf]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : ok (31)
 kossa started observation.
]
;W[gi];B[de]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : it looks very good for black (33)
 gunnar 4k : D5 weak move. (33)
]
;W[if]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : not if TT keeps on playing 1st line moves :-( (34)
]
;B[cd];W[fg]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : TT thinks is leading by 10 points (36)
 TheTurtle 30k : I'ts very optimistic about L&D (36)
]
;B[be];W[ei]C[
 gunnar 4k : Good move at E1! (38)
 TheTurtle 30k : after all, lower right corner might turn white ! (38)
]
;B[di];W[fi];B[ad]C[
 Rasalom started observation.
]
;W[bi]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : It notices ataris, but usually tenukis. I'm surprised :-) (42)
]
;B[dc]C[
 vandal started observation.
]
;W[ac];B[af]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : TT prefers answering an atari with another atari (45)
 bridges started observation.
]
;W[ib];B[ia]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : Who will play D8 ? (47)
 TheTurtle 30k : It plays them more or less (47)
]
;W[db];B[ga]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : well, maybe upper side will survive too (49)
]
;W[he]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : or maybe not :-( (50)
]
;B[bc];W[fe];B[cb]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : Uh uh ! (53)
]
;W[gd]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : game's close now, according to TT (54)
]
;B[fc]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : GL7'll have to blunder a lot to not kill the upper side (55)
]
;W[eb];B[ba]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : a 2 step ko for white to save it now (57)
]
;W[aa]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : oh la la !!! (58)
]
;B[ab];W[id]C[
 gunnar 4k : White E6, black H7, white F9, black J5 would end in a double ko in black's favor. Not that I think they'll both find all those moves. (60)
]
;B[ie];W[ed]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : go programs are good for creating L&D problems (62)
]
;B[hc]C[
 gunnar 4k : Or maybe it wasn't such a good ko after all. (63)
]
;W[id];B[tt];W[fa]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : f9 would give a ! will give !! a ko (66)
]
;B[da];W[ha];B[ie]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : I'm surprised GL7 did'n connect at e6, it played so solid till then (69)
 mercury started observation.
 gunnar 4k : If white finds J8, black needs to find the ko threat at G2 in order to win. (69)
]
;W[ib]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : my connection frozed. it does so from time to time :-( (70)
]
;B[tt]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : that's why I don't play in *GS (71)
]
;W[id];B[tt]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : I hate losing by time when I had 3 minutes left an 2 moves to make (73)
 gunnar 4k : This was a really surprising end. Black was far too fond of capturing single stones, rather than connecting. (73)
]
;W[gh];B[tt]C[
 Onzrock started observation.
 TheTurtle 30k : that was a good ko threat (75)
]
;W[hc]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : reading 4 moves deep helps a lot here (76)
]
;B[tt];W[ga]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : But the new eval I'm working on will be too slow for this :-( (78)
]
;B[tt];W[ig];B[tt]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : almost, before it decides on playing e9 (81)
]
;W[ea]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : I supose I can p... ah ! (82)
]
;B[ca]C[
 TheTurtle 30k : but it still things b1 is an unsettled group ! (83)
