Hey. I accept your challenge.
Are you OK with a standard .5 komi game? Japanese rules, closed comment game?

They both play starcraft, so it's a reference to that. It's the equivalent of 'I want a good clean fight, nothing below the belt'.
edit: Good game to both players, I look forward to watching. =)
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

Let's make it an even game; 6.5 komi.

I don't play starcraft, but isn't a 4-pool something like an unusually aggressive early rush? If so, isn't it kind of like saying: "GG HF and no sanrenseis!"
Back when I still played Age of Mythology, I was a big fan of the Loki Hersir rush. Every once in a while, someone would complain that early rushing is lame. It only increased my satisfaction about the victory
My name is Gijs, from Utrecht, NL.When in doubt, play the most aggressive move

I don't like Abydos1's move. It's a mistake.

Even it is.

I haven't gotten lucky enough to draw white in my KGS games but I decided about a week ago that I wanted to do this. I know Yang Yilun tries this as W. I like that it prevents any resemblance of set fuseki, particularly orthodox formations such as:
$$Bcm1 Prisoner Count: B-0 W-0

what ever opening you play it really doesnt matter at non-professional level.
what is important is in the middle.
i suggest you try many different openings and see how you like it.
have fun!

I agree. Because our level is so low, I like to skip common and lengthy fuseki - more middle game.
My approach here feels totally forced.

Tewari , we can see that if I take another corner and then B goes back to respond normally, it's as if I approached on the inside on move 4. I don't like it.

Hidden until all 4 corners settled, then for Abydos1:

Do you know the year, his opponent, and the result? Go took W; what was the komi, if any?
Are you OK with a standard .5 komi game? Japanese rules, closed comment game?
have fun!
