i looked at it for another minute and found this which i didnt think about. at this point i can not be satisfied with ko. i will think more after he makes his move. i usually dont think about future variation until my opponent makes his move.

i am willing to giveup whole group and play somewhere twice. when you are ahead you should find a simplest way to win and i think this is it. funny thing is that even after he win the ko it is still ko so he has to play one more move. which will give me 3 moves to compensate for the corner which is plenty.

Huh? I guess he really just wanted the free move and was willing to sacrifice his group? Did he think I would respond to that? I certainly can't afford to respond to a move like that. As for what might happen now:

Maybe something along these lines. He'll probably try something weird in the upper right though.
how i will kill everything in sente:
seriously though, how are my comments, cause this is my first malkovitch 1v1. The reason I don't post more variations is that MW is so unpredictable there's no point!
