Japanese friendly pro game on OGS

Antti Törmänen, shodan NK, has an account on OGS, if I understand it right. And he's currently doing some experimentation with another Japanese player, 6p. The feeling is completely different to what I'm seeing in the Western pro tournaments.
You can find that game
here. Quirky, but still classical, in a way. And it might clutter later, but it has breathing space, so far.
Take care.

I would easier agree with
quirky than with
classical
Thank you for sharing this: me and some of the guys at the Go Club are following the game now

I know, right? So would I. But it still has that "corners-sides-..." spongy feeling of Japanese Go. From the experimentation period of the XXth century, I'll grant you. But it's not one of these modern localized melee things.
Take care.
PS: There's actually
another game by the same two players currently in progress that has more clustering after a fight on the left side. And even so it's not as cluttered as many others. I mentioned
not long ago some games by Western pros. In my... weird definition of classical, the original game I posted in this thread is more classical than this other game here which is more classical than any of the Euro Pro Online League so far.
I hope I make some sense.

Spaceman is Ohashi Hirofumi 6p. He's known for his unconventional openings, writings on AI which JF has recounted here, piano playing at EGCs, being a top 9×9 player on GoQuest...
