A few days ago Richard went to Japan for a few hours to renew his Korean not-a-visa (you can stay here for up to 90 days without a visa, just stamp from airport). It's rather silly that it's easier to do that than actually go through the bureaucracy of applying for a proper visa, what with the environmental damage of flying.
Sojin reviewed my game with Thomas, summary of the comments:
-f7 is an interesting move that they studied before, but the plan should be to play this before j3, because if white blocks at f6 then black can j3 and the exchange is good as after white d10 f9 e10 black can block at f10. Best answer for white is tenuki, or g4 press.
-f10 slack, attack the shape at f9.
-f6 solid, but now j3 not really 100% necessary.
-r6 good direction
-r3 can also be l3, both ok
-q6 bad, i should tenuki to g17 or j16 or d12. If black s3 then I come out here.
-r5 soft, should hane, white helps black with the natural sequence
-h10 soft, top side better, b can't attack that effectively
-l17 should k16 or j16
-k16 very good move
-p18 not so big, h16 is big and solid for top left area, and pretty much sente as next jump is sente and top left swells a lot
-n18 gote here is slow, maybe could tenuki after p18 as a probe, as it does give l17 eyes should white cut around f17. q9/h16 big.
-r11 good point, but first e15 is good, if b d14 then the f17 crosscut sequence can build some white points in g15 area.
-r12 fake tesuji, as I missed s11 s12 w t10 tesuji
-b16, still e16 better
-m13, I can push at k17 and if black blocks then cut, if pull back then great exchange and hane.
-r18, given the variation that happened with b losing q13, he should get in the q11 atari
-e10 can b12 and kill?
-b9 fail, can monkey jump as I did bad f13 exchange so b11 no longer sente
-h19 obviously just g16 first and then this for comfy win.
Yesterday I played another league game with Hyeonbin which I won by resign which Blackie reviewed, might record sgf later.
Here's a pic of us reviewing the Chunlan cup game between Lee Sedol and Chen Yaoye (what with Korea losing in the LG cup and Japan doing well, and Lee losing this game, we joke that I am going to Japan after BIBA because Korea is too slack at baduk now
).

And typical evening of the baduk pros (and Youngun who is kinda pro strength) playing Catan and the amateurs playing baduk.

But I tend to get into BIBA before the others (around 11) so do some problems and play on Tygem (and OGS). Also I was using Tygem to measure my progress so was trying to get up to my proper rank as quickly as possible (with around 50/50 win rate) and then see if I improve whilst here. But the last few days I didn't sleep much and went on tilt and got impatient and lost many games so 7d won't happen for a while now.
