I don't like the following response by white but:

White has invasion points at the x's to disrupt and needs to invade asap here.

The first leads to a potentially more large moyo based game if white allows it, while the second tends towards a more territory based game unless white deliberately allows black to build one I think.

I could be completely wrong here and I don't like my playing out of either scenario (a lack of experience in even games means I haven't seen enough styles yet to be any good at this). These of course being the key reasons for us having this Malkovich game! I hope any errors in my thinking are clear.

Hmm, I forgot to give my reasoning for responding to him in the lower left. I think allowing him a strong position in the lower left is bigger than me getting one in the lower right right now. Specifically I don't want him to build a wall in the lower left facing his position on top. In the lower left I've the choice of the corner and side or outside influence and neither is hugely appealing to me given he gets to control the direction of play in the lower left. If the directional orientation of my 3,4 stone faced my upper right stone I'd have happily taken a wall facing my position.

The simplest outcome in the bottom right for me would have been:

I made a grave error here though I think as white should not tenuki here from going through a database (SmartGo). (I felt looking at the "joseki" that White couldn't tenuki here so I checked) If he played at a, I could have tenuki'd and continued a normal joseki in the lower left. If he neglects to play a I can ignore his tenuki and play at a myself most likely as I don't think he can afford to let this corner die after investing so much into it.

Lesson learned for future games.

Still Drewch wants a moyo game which suits me perfectly. I think I'm stronger in the fuseki than Drewch is but I know for a fact that he's much stronger tactically than I am so he's the perfect opponent for me right now from a learning perspective. I'm expecting a second 3,4 in the top left now. Ed, if there weren't any broken shapes it wouldn't be a proper ddk game now would it?

I just watched a KGS+ lecture (the most recent one), on chinese opening and how people now play 5, and then they finish the chinese opening after I answer to 5 locally. I doubt this is what he is doing, since he is not a KGS+ member, so I don't think he saw that lecture (and it's relatively new theory I think). But either way, I learned that this is bigger. I hope I'm not wrong.

Before we start the joseki section, Drewch what rules do you want on aids? Do you want to do it like a turn based server where an analysis board and/or joseki dictionary are allowed or do you want to rule out all aids and work from memory?

Ed, Hmm, maybe moyo game is the wrong term here. I meant that he wanted facing positions rather than allowing for cross positions and me forcing it to be a territory game.

I could be completely wrong here and I don't like my playing out of either scenario (a lack of experience in even games means I haven't seen enough styles yet to be any good at this). These of course being the key reasons for us having this Malkovich game! I hope any errors in my thinking are clear.

Do you want to do it like a turn based server where an analysis board and/or joseki dictionary are allowed or do you want to rule out all aids and work from memory? Since it's a study game, I think looking at a joeski dictionary is okay.

@Drewch: If you deliberately tenuki'd his last corner move, what makes you think you'll be getting sente to play the first move on the bottom? I'm interested as to why your think the situation is different in the lower left corner to the lower right corner

Hmm, I forgot to give my reasoning for responding to him in the lower left. I think allowing him a strong position in the lower left is bigger than me getting one in the lower right right now. Specifically I don't want him to build a wall in the lower left facing his position on top. In the lower left I've the choice of the corner and side or outside influence and neither is hugely appealing to me given he gets to control the direction of play in the lower left. If the directional orientation of my 3,4 stone faced my upper right stone I'd have happily taken a wall facing my position. The simplest outcome in the bottom right for me would have been: Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm1 $$ --------------------------------------- $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \| $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \| $$ \| . . .

(I felt looking at the "joseki" that White couldn't tenuki here so I checked) If he played at a, I could have tenuki'd and continued a normal joseki in the lower left. If he neglects to play a I can ignore his tenuki and play at a myself most likely as I don't think he can afford to let this corner die after investing so much into it. Lesson learned for future games. Edit: Actually, I can hopefully tenuki in sente at some point on the left. Hmmm. Now the question of timing. It all depends on his response in the left.

I'm interested as to why your think the situation is different in the lower left corner to the lower right corner @Topazg My goal in the bottom right was to play M4 and gain large territory in the bottom middle. But first I want to establish my position in the bottom on the left side as the board as well. In most Joeseki's that I looked up for what is going to happen in the bottom left in the next few moves. It looks like I will have sente, and I will play M4, and he will likely take my stone at R5, which is fine with me. Not sure if my line of thinking is great. but I should get a large bottom middle territory. However, this leaves D15 has a large move for me after because I cannot just let him get all the corners. (He will have bottom right, 0.5 of the bottom left). While I have the bottom middle.
