To daniel_the_smith:
If I had to describe your game in one word, it'd be "standard". So far the game has a very textbook feel to my eyes, and both sides are playing simple and fundamental. I think the kryptonite to taking down Magicwand is to not feel intimidated and consider him as an equal rather than some Malkovich god or something. As they say, play the board not the opponent.

Moves like L6 should not budge you in any way and the only sort of questions that should come to your mind when you see such a move should be "What is the best way to exploit the weakness behind such a move?" rather than "How do I defend against such powerplay?".

Having the right mentality can make a big difference, as we clearly saw in Kirby's series - and Kirby if you're reading this, you need to have more confidence against Magicwand! Be like the wolf in your avatar.


Araban:
Why is a move like L6 not a powerplay? I feel very intimidated by a move like this. White can get influence when I try to escape.

I have played pros a couple of times in simultaneous 9-stone games. A common sequence I've seen is something like this:

Though it is 9 stone game, I am already afraid on the top of the influence white will get when I try to escape.

I guess I wouldn't say that I'm losing, but if white did this on the bottom side, too, I might feel like I'm half way to defeat...

If you feel intimidated, then the move has already done its work. :)

Regarding your last example, the formation is discussed in Janice Kim's LTPG series somewhere and calmly shows why such a play is an intimidation tactic and nothing more - careful reading can break White's formation to pieces. If I have time I'll try to see where the exact page is, but the book is pretty popular so I'm sure someone else knows which section of which volume I'm talking about.

What does White thus fear in the original diagram?

The move I ended up playing is the one that first jumped out at me. At first I thought it was bad because white would attach underneath and get a favorable ko, but then I thought of another way to play.

Because of that last diagram, I think my last move is sente. I'm not worried about that stone on top, I think it's a case where Magicwand's "one stone is aji" rule applies. (I think the stone Kirby just used that rule on in his game vs Chew Terr is not one it applies to!)

Basically I just like the way this move looks. White's group is starting to look pathetic...
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

he is playing well for 1K.
my prediction: he will lose this game and probably 4 stone game too.
i have played people stronger than him with 4 stones and didnt lose money.
i see black group slowly getting weaker on every move.


below is what i would have played if i was black. i dont know if it is optimal but i know that it is damn good move close to optimal.

I haven't read everything out, but it seems that letting white get H8 would be completely intolerable. Plus now white's right group is looking weaker.

I'm going with my first instinct yet again. I was going to switch to the hane and cut his group, but I can't really ignore :w3: below. This way, he either has to defend in gote or I really do get to cut his group. I think.
