The position after the first game-day was really interesting, i’ve watched the broadcast on ORO. They sure post a lot of diagrams, it’s a pity that no one of the people that write comments there actually does that in english
I’ve been watching it on the IGS-PandaNet because i like to read the comments. Are there better options to read/watch the game on. One with great/better (perhaps pro) commentaries?
Hmm… i think ORO is the best you can get. Lots of Diagrams, and even if the comments are “useless” you see why certain moves are played and what the alternatives would be.
The games are probably being broadcasted on Tygem/TOM too. I don’t know if they have better stuff though
The only pro comments I’m aware of are the ones from CyberOro server - just like VincentV says, normally one can make sense of them just by following the variations.
About Tygem: is it easy to sign-up, given that they don’t have English clients? (As for TOM - do you mean just the website, or is there a server as well?).
Unless you have a Korean SSN, registration to Tygem is very difficult. I’ve heard somewhere about people going so far as to have to send their passport overseas to register a foreigner account. I am not sure about TOM.
And woot for Yoda winning, though he lost a huge advantage in the second half of the game and barely squeezed out the win.

Hi Solomon,
So is that the final verdict on the game from Tygem or so?
Just by blindly following the variations on CyberOro, I didn’t realize it. Although, White having to give Black a ponnuki on the left just to create a shicho-break mult have felt really painful for Takao…

Nevertheless a great game.
