I have absolutely no clue what the hell this move just did.

I assume Jordus had some kind of idea behind it, so lest I think too little of him unfairly, I'll be taking some more time to read. I'll move later tonight.


I'll be away for most of tomorrow, I'll post a move later tonight.

This is the most entertaining Malkovich game I've witnessed.

I wish I could see it from your perspective.
I'm extremely curious about the other players' comments.

By the way, game up till now:

Oh dear, I don't like 29 very much, I think the exchange helps white a lot more than us. Jordus probably is expecting to capture a single white stone, but I don't see that stone as being particularly valuable--especially since we'll be paying for it by giving up potential on the other side of the white group.

GRAWRG. I have no idea what this move does, still.



I think my only choice right now is to follow the impetus of pushing before this exchange and hane to continue the pressure on white.

It seems Jordus is playing quite a few too many thank you moves for my taste, however.

Let's hope it doesn't come back to beat us in the face.

Aha! I've been waiting for this.

I was really hoping that magicwand would act on impulse one of these days. This move says to me, "I'm hane-ing because I can." From what I've gathered from my own reading, the situation, and magicwand's comments in other games, his biggest weakness, in my opinion, is overplay made strictly on momentum. His feeling tells him to hane here, so he will hane, even if he reads that we can cut, which is inevitable.

However, I feel that after cutting, we have turned the situation around to our favor.

Interesting. I would have expected a more solid move instead of M6. The cut at O7 scares me. I wonder what magicwand wants to do.

Grk, when I played N7 I was expecting to follow with N6. It's slow, it's gote, but it secures the group and opens up opportunities for moves like O3 without too many shape concerns. I cannot see any way for this double-hane not to end in tears. If Black plays L7 I'm going to play N6 asap, but I'm not hopeful.

On the bright side, my next two moves may well be no-thought-required forced moves
