Artem has entered 9d arena! His first opponent plays super fast despite slow clock, how will he do? artem 9d vs. GAMEOVRE 9d


Background:
It seems Artem Kachanovskyy, playing as "artem" on Tygem and also known as "artem92" on KGS, has done exceptionally as 8d and promoted to 9d on Tygem!  This is a very significant achievement but we will see how long he can tolerate the playing field where pros are rampant and only the strongest amateurs can survive.  I will be sure to keep track of his progress and keep everyone up to date on how he performs as a 9d.  He only needs to make sure not to lose 13 games out of his 20 most recent.

For now, this is very first game as a 9d making it very special for him! (And to add to the readers' interest, it is a slow game.)   To celebrate the event, I put all of my betting points on artem in the game :p.  

Not much information on 댄서의순정/GAMEOVRE, but this player does seem to be a fan of the movie "Innocent Steps", as the username is the movie title name and the avatar is the lead character.  He or she has also participated in the Tygem Tongyang tournament but hasn't done exceptionally.

I hope you enjoy the game!

Thoughts/Impression on the game:
-3+5 by Black is an unusual opening.  Actually, his play in general seems unorthodox in the opening.
-7 must have surprised artem greatly :).
-To tenuki from 22 is also a bit odd.  Artem exploits this immediately.
-33+35+37 also astounds me.  Get a ponnuki from a corner sequence and then dump it immediately?  It is bewildering!
-54 is a very nice move.
-artem entered byoyomi by the time his opponent still had 10 minutes (15 min. main time)!  Throughout the game artem played calmly and slowly while his opponent played almost instantly.  In fact, 댄서의순정 doesn't enter byoyomi until move 200! Perhaps artem is being underestimated?
-Endgame is approached quickly.

I have a question to a stronger players: was it good idea for W to use 3 moves in a row to neutralize B's ponnuki, giving B K3, C14 and C11 "for free"?
I think, that after F17 the exchange is clearly favorable for B :(

Hard to beat such players as Tygem 9 ds. Don't put your money on me anymore :)
