My intention is to block Kirby from connecting his upper right group with his centre group. I rejected this because I'm not sure Kirby will react by connecting this single stone but act in the larger picture.
I can't decide if Kirby is going to fight locally (attacking my L13 stone??).
I'll see it soon.

Black is playing many moves in the upper right portion of the board, and thus several of his stones are becoming weak.

I don't like that Kirby is slicing up the board as if it was a cake (with the handicap stones being the candles or cherries... (coming home from work - I guess I'm hungry...)).
I chose the slow move hoping that it will make the connection between the upper right and the center weaker.

I think move 38 got lost in later diagrams :scratch:

Or did jika just change move 40 and Thun Kirby changed 41? Either war, I‘m confused...

Hmm, good point.

Looking back, I think Jika also has a stone here?

First, I'm alive but deeply sorry for my absence!!

Also sorry for probably messing up the moves - I copy Kirby's diagram and then enter my move, but sometimes I have found that there were differences between the present diagram and the one I had saved in my editor.
Since the move numbers in my editor (sabaki) differ, I do not really keep control of the move number we are actually at.

Kirby, thank you for sorting this out.
And yes, that was my plan: I get a crumb of the cake, you get the rest.
I'm a very generous person on the board :D

Slacking with go study, lately. It’s been a busy month. I should get back on track.

I don’t know if this move is good, but I’ll go with it, because I wanted to play it earlier anyway.

Kirby is kangarooing around, so maybe there is something about these 2-point-jumps and I should start using them too?

OK, other things I thought I might do:

looks nice because it creates a nice curve, but very far from the corner, so I think it's much too ambitious.

ambitious plus bold (plus stupid, plus...) - so, given I reject it that much, probably the best move :lol:

Mostly playing off of intuition here... I think the right side is bigger than the bottom, so I attach on the right side. If black blocks the right, then maybe I can get a bigger corner.

I thought we had agreed that I get the right corners, Kirby? Symmetry would look so nice, please!!
I think this could go for my playing style - what was your intention for playing there? It looked nice.

I rejected my first more aggressive idea: "You go playing under my stones, I play under yours" (Kirby, thoughts on that one? Reaction?):

I would have expected something like this : give White the corner and get the outside.

In any case, :b46: at S5 is clearly wrong since it invites White to cross Black's keima.

White wins by resignation.


As I've written in my PM, thank you very much, Kirby, for giving me this opportunity. I really appreciate it.

Thanks, Jika. I just realized you posted on January 1st - somehow, I missed that (maybe I was doing New Years' stuff).

In any case, thanks for playing this game. Malkovich games last awhile, and I understand that life can get busy - I'm getting pretty busy myself these days, and I'll have to figure out where go fits into my life after mid-March.

Handicap games are tough, but I enjoyed playing, nonetheless. I think you've made a lot of progress since joining the forums here. And there were some moves you played, which were pretty hard to answer.

Cheers!
