John won by being patient, going for complicated trades when behind, and waiting for the program's mistakes.
It would be fun to see a re-match in a year.

Here is game 2 of the match. I believe that Many Faces was ahead after the successful attack in the top left, but lost its way in the top right. For example, at move 118 cutting at R11 would be good for the program.

;W[ci]C[klausP [4d\]: In the first game tromp choose e13 instead of e14 in this joseki
klausP [4d\]: mybe he looked it up
underplay [5d\]: c12 b12 d13 for simplicity
klausP [4d\]: here e10 is possible too
gogonuts [5d\]: i think he actually confused it with g13 instead of e18 in the first game
EpicPhail [2k\]: g16 at f16 normal?
gogonuts [5d\]: both normal
underplay [5d\]: both possible
klausP [4d\]: with the 44 stones b could choose e10 Immo
underplay [5d\]: how about c9 - kill the bot early :p
klausP [4d\]: the human playing with the influence would be interesting
gogonuts [5d\]: :-)
klausP [4d\]: c9 is joseki?
underplay [5d\]: doubt it :p

klausP [4d\]: here we go
gogonuts [5d\]: r6 good enough for b
gogonuts [5d\]: w should have played r6 himself

gogonuts [5d\]: which one?
gogonuts [5d\]: both attrctive :-)
underplay [5d\]: r3 seems enough
EpicPhail [2k\]: p3 and hope for corner kill
gogonuts [5d\]: yes, i would ponder p3, then play r3 :-)
klausP [4d\]: MFoG had some live and death problems in game 1
underplay [5d\]: with k4 in place r3 should make w too tight
gogonuts [5d\]: let it create its own problems
gogonuts [5d\]: dont be to smart about it
klausP [4d\]: by the way: tenuki is still real big
EpicPhail [2k\]: yes maybe John has exploited that MFOG has Problems with the q4 q6 shape
klausP [4d\]: lots of big points remaining
gogonuts [5d\]: please no :-)
]
;B[qq]C[klausP [4d\]: so b can play r3, and end up in sente

;B[qp]C[BGAmatches [-\]: yes

gogonuts [5d\]: yupp
underplay [5d\]: hane first think later
Sandmann [5d\]: i'd have played this without c6 and n4 exchanges
gogonuts [5d\]: how to handle? - double hane?
underplay [5d\]: double hane looks fun
gogonuts [5d\]: difficult point

;B[ei]C[gogonuts [5d\]: connect is better prob
gogonuts [5d\]: after w e10

Sandmann [5d\]: hm then why exchange e11

gogonuts [5d\]: so w doesnt play it :-)
klausP [4d\]: I like the white moves here, they solve the c9 problem and the Price is ok
Sandmann [5d\]: :O
EpicPhail [2k\]: is o2 or o3 the vital point?
gogonuts [5d\]: connection seems ok to me because w has a hard time responding at f10
Sandmann [5d\]: ah i see
Sandmann [5d\]: i think f10 is ok
gogonuts [5d\]: for b now?

gogonuts [5d\]: yeah, yeah

gogonuts [5d\]: i hope b manages to punish f10
klausP [4d\]: w leaves a lot of aji here
klausP [4d\]: not so good
gogonuts [5d\]: direct cut?
gogonuts [5d\]: or c12 first?
klausP [4d\]: b can push at c12 and cut at d10 after that
gogonuts [5d\]: that seems like common sense
Sandmann [5d\]: i think the fight is better for w:D
klausP [4d\]: why?
Sandmann [5d\]: feeling
gogonuts [5d\]: c12 is prob the right move, because w c12 fixes everything
Sandmann [5d\]: e14 and b's cutting stones would both be weak
klausP [4d\]: I think the fight is nice on eather side, against MFoG, hehe

gogonuts [5d\]: :-)
klausP [4d\]: Interesting to see, that MFoG does not play like Zen at all

gogonuts [5d\]: makes playing m15 easy for b
WeshCousin [3d?\]: R12 seems fine
klausP [4d\]: it aims at r15
gogonuts [5d\]: b r12 too early

gogonuts [5d\]: attach at g7?

yoyoma [1k?\]: H13/Q12/L7 all weakish?
