The further I have watched magicwand, the more I entirely endorse the spirit in which he plays. Even though I think his moves are overplayish a lot of the time, and his confidence a bit
too unreasonably high, the truth is that playing because you believe you can win the game with every stone you play is vital in Go.
My game improved enormously when I started treating even games against the local 4 dan as games I could win. Regardless of my actual play, move 2 started with the attitude "I will win this game, or lose it because my moves
today just weren't good enough. I'm not going to lose because I don't think I can win". If I played Lee Sedol, I would play to win from the very beginning. Sure, I most likely wouldn't, but I'd play as if I could, and keep going until resigning was the correct choice. Never would I play just to minimise my loss and keep face, nor would I play a high handicap stone in the hope to just hold on to them. If I had a 9 stone handicap stone game against a top pro, I'd cut, surround, divide, fight, and try to play as if it was a 20 kyu. I think magicwand would too, and I want to say that I see it as a very positive characteristic.
As an aside, if Kirby did too, I think he'd gain 2 stones of strength. He needs to stop looking after his groups all the time, and start making magicwand look after his groups. Even if it is overplay, steal eye-shape, chase groups, make them run, make them quake in their boots, kick them in the teeth, die a glorious way knowing that you threw your kitchen sink, carpet, household pets and front door at the fight. That, or you suddenly find out just how strong you are and win - but at least find out
