I'm not used to so many comments so early on in the Malkovich game ... this is going to drive me nuts waiting to see what people are saying. :D

I'm still thinking about where I want to play next on this board position (just FYI).

This move looks interesting to me, because it has an effect on both the top right and on the right side. If I just jump out on the top right, black has a fun time getting points on the right - which might be playable. But maybe this is a greedier way to play... Well, we'll see what happens, anyway.

Locally bad, but white has comfortably split the side, his stone has some aji still and white takes sente. Further, it avoids some hard joseki.

I'm not actually sure why, in this case, :b13: is on the outside instead of the inside at a ... the sequence above is what I've seen played. Kirby obviously wants to get sente, and he's successfully split up the right side. Where will he go from here?

Some thoughts on the position after :b13: in the above diagram:

I think I want to play at a very much now. My upper right will be solid, providing a nice support structure. If White pincers, I can make a double-approach at D14 or C14 (probably D14) making a mess of the left side.

I think Kirby is aiming to approach around b soon. I still plan on playing O4 in this case, but we'll see what he does.

The wedge at c is interesting because it is a play in the widest area of the board. Once I get a chance to take sente, I think a and c are the two moves I will need to choose between. I'll think more on it later.

I don't know what I'll do if Kirby jumps in at or around d or e. I'll dedicate some thought to that if it happens.

So, of course, Kirby throws my expectations into the trash. :) I don't think I have a choice for this move ... playing for the corner means playing around with both a ladder and allowing Kirby to connect to his R13 stone. I need to keep him separated, and seal him in to the the corner.

I'm not sure I like this move for Kirby. I don't think I'd play it, personally. Yes, he's now going to get the corner ... but it won't be too hard to seal him in. I believe the sequence will go something like:

$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ ---------------------------------------[/go]


And with that both a and b become nice areas for me to play. Kirby gets some solid cash, though, and my sealing wall has a cutting point ... all things to keep an eye on for later.

That makes sense. No curve balls yet. I still expect the variation I put in my previous analysis.

Hey Marcus,
Do you have a source for that joseki?

Hey Marcus,
Do you have a source for that joseki?


@Loons
Which sequence? I think this is joseki:

$$ -------------------
$$ . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . . . . |

$$ . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ , . . . . . , 4 . . |[/go]


But that's based on some loose studying (maybe I got it from some pro games? I don't remember ... ).

The other sequence is just a jumble of shape moves I've seen before:

The shapes are all joseki-ish, I guess ... did I answer your question?


Even stepping back to re-evaluate this sequence, I still like it.

It seems like Kirby sees this sequence as well. I wonder where he'll go from here?

Once he makes his next move, I'll have to step back and decide how I want to respond. The last set of moves here have all been about the local situation, more or less. I need to step back soon and take a look at the global situation. Let's see how he plays, first.

I feel OK about this board. In fact, pretty good. If I compare thos to a normal 3-3 invasion, I got to play inside for cash, plus outside to render his wall less effective.

I played loose and high for flexibility near his power.

White's move does not surprise me, but now I need to step back and evaluate what my goals are on this board. The sides of the board are becoming less and less open, and the areas of influence are becoming more and more defined.

It seems to me that, even if White takes c (or somewhere around there), the right side is not very big. In that case, I can safely consider playing at a or b. Of the two, I feel like I should make the attack at b. So, that's what I'm going to do. Some ideas on how the game will go:

Some oddities in this sequence I guess ...

:b25: is a jump towards the center (on the edge of White's growing left side moyo) and can still be considered playing away from my thickness in the upper right. It also leaves the 3-3 open in that corner for later.

:b27: is intended to build more thickness towards the center, instead of attacking White's stones on the right side directly.

After these moves (which I admit is only one possible sequence), both a and b are big plays for either player. If we get this far, I will have to evaluate the board again.

More likely, though, Kirby is going to play a different :w24: and I'll have to stop and think again.

I would have played with a good feeling:

But is it only a good feeling or is it a necessary attack? Sometimes I admire the strong players way of holding back.

I think that this area is more important than the top left. Even if he double approaches me, I feel that it's more important to play around here.
