Wow. I've never followed a full Malkovich game, but I just read this thread from start to finish. Very interesting and exciting game so far... as others have said, it ain't over 'til it's over.

I think my favourite comment was by Magicwand on page 2:
Magicwand wrote:i am willing to play such moves to probe opponent's mind.
i might lose some points but i will understand his state of mind by looking at how he reply.

-I still have to learn this style of thinking...

Just my thoughts after reading this thread. Great game!

Maybe he'll get some points on the side, but I don't think I'll die... Which is enough, I think.

No Kirby, no!!! Fight dammit, none of this "at least I won't die nonsense" :(

Remember, divide and conquer - if you're locally stronger and bigger than he is, cut his head off and hand it to him on a platter, don't let him connect his stones and eat up the entire right hand side.

If magicwand wins this game, I will cry.

Change your move if you wish.

OK, so my attack is a little bit loose, but if I put the pressure on him in this way, I should be able to strengthen my group and possibly make some territory this way.

I guess he will probably play O17 next.

I am thinking O18 or O17 at a glance, but I'll look into it more. This looks a bit risky for him, imo.

I'm then weak at "a" and "b", above.

However, I think the move I played in the game might work out.

Hmm, I didn't expect that move - at least not at this moment. I will have to think about it for a little bit.
