I thought we had agreed that I get the right corners, Kirby? Symmetry would look so nice, please!!
I think this could go for my playing style - what was your intention for playing there? It looked nice.

I rejected my first more aggressive idea: "You go playing under my stones, I play under yours" (Kirby, thoughts on that one? Reaction?):

or direct block/shoulder hit (is it?)

I would have expected something like this : give White the corner and get the outside.

In any case,

at S5 is clearly wrong since it invites White to cross Black's keima.

White wins by resignation.

As I've written in my PM, thank you very much, Kirby, for giving me this opportunity. I really appreciate it.

Thanks, Jika. I just realized you posted on January 1st - somehow, I missed that (maybe I was doing New Years' stuff).

In any case, thanks for playing this game. Malkovich games last awhile, and I understand that life can get busy - I'm getting pretty busy myself these days, and I'll have to figure out where go fits into my life after mid-March.

Handicap games are tough, but I enjoyed playing, nonetheless. I think you've made a lot of progress since joining the forums here. And there were some moves you played, which were pretty hard to answer.

Cheers!
