Yep, it's me. Sorry, been busy.

Some thoughts now,
Hidden Section:
R11 would look good if there was more space for the group to develop, but as it is, I think it would just offer a great peep for black, and therefore is too heavy.

Other moves that occur are N3, reducing possibilities of a (almost territory) moyo in the lower right corner; P6 or similar, trying to keep the Q10 group's options open in a light way; Or maybe something close to the top right corner...

Not really sure. Still seems like a difficult fight for White.
move tomorrow.

I have to say that I think this Malkovitch game might helping my game memory. I haven't had much luck at remembering the sequence of a game, but I can play out every move easily from this one.... then again...other than it only being 17 moves so far... I don't think I have repeatedly played every move of a game so many times because of all the free time between moves.....

So maybe my memory is getting better.....

or....

Maybe the repetition just implanted the image of the game into my brain..... I don't really know yet.... but its nice being able to sit down and just play a sequence out from memory.... i feel kind of like hikaru or touya.....

Then again, maybe I have been able to do it all along and just never knew I could because I never really tried too hard.... as in I barely had time to play the match let alone think too much about it.....

I think I might try playing matches with more allotted time more often.....

Anyways... that's just my thought for the day.... er... night.... Whoa! It's that late? i need to get some sleep.....

It's a good example about thinking more. I have no doubt I can play the entire game against fwiffo from memory at speed so far, simply because so much thought was invested into the sequences, and I remember my feelings and thoughts on each.

Playing with long time controls and then wandering off to a board and trying to play out completely from memory is very good practice.

Or maybe your remembering the game more becuase its a lot more exciting when you dont know which moves are coming. This would surely be the case with me.
And yes, sleep is good.

Even though I'm weaker, I can also easily replay our game - quickly. Even only a few stones ago, 6-7 kyu, I couldn't replay games beyond a few moves, though I had good recollection of the general flow and important points. But now, recalling most of my weekly game against my club rival, for instance, isn't too hard, though I still need to record them if I want a complete, accurate record.

My memory of older games I played has improved too. I was able to quickly recall (in generalities at least) a couple games I've played over the last year with similar openings to ours.

Just to prove it to myself, I just replayed our game so far from memory (in hidden box below just to avoid cluttering the thread with off-topic stuff).

To me, remembering a game has always been like remembering a story I heard lately, or a movie plot, or a book I read. As long as I can remember my mindset and my thoughts about the game, the moves come back to me.

I find that memorizing a sequence is pretty hard, but memorizing the rationale behind a sequence is easy, and associating the moves to the thinking is easy as well.

Hidden Section:
I wanted to have better reasons for move 18, but I still don't really know what to play, especially in time pressure.
This is the one that feels better right now. It should give the White group some room to run.
Besides what I posted before, N11 also crosses my mind, but seems too resigned to living in the cramped middle, which can't be good.

not for players (yet)

I'm not that much stronger than Phelan (if at all), but...
Hidden Section:
doesn't that move make it too easy for black to cut? Then white has a heavy group inside black's moyo that has to live, right?

seems to me like a one space jump in that direction would be better, or else keep going in deeper.
