i wonder what is behind all those comments. but nice to see them for any reason

let's do a recount again:
a = around 25, more if i get to play P15
b = let say 15
c = 5 or 6
d = 10, or slightly less
e = around 10
f = around 20
g = around 20
h = 10
i = 5
j = 2
a + b + c + d - e - f - g - h - i - j = 25 + 15 + 5 + 10 - 10 - 20 - 20 -10 - 5 - 2 = - 12
-12, that doesn't sound very good, but on the other hand i feel fine right now, i think i can win. i should also mention that black upper right is tempting, i can't stop myself subconsciously reading if i couldn't make a living group inside... (although consciously i don't really believe such thing is possible)

i guess 145 will be a or b. let me know if you don't agree with the sequence.

As for the difference between ''a'' & ''b'', I like ''b'' b/c it removes aji, and I don't think there's any difference in points. Whites play corresponds pretty closely with my ideas about the size. I guess I will take my free sente, then play what I think is biggest:

i decided to answer, maybe i should have played 149 myself. there are two big areas i aim at right now: A9, where i can push to one side or another, depending on black's response and it creates some more endgame playes there and S12, which has also good chances to be a sente, threating with a monkey jump, plus black's shape wouldn't look very nice after his defense.

The whole Malkovich idea is genius!

This is an enjoyable game, the explanations really help weaker players follow the action - even if the explanations themselves need some work to understand at times (for me anyway).

:salute:

Play on, worthy Malkovichers.

i couldn't really choose whether to answer black or play on the left side as i wanted, but after long thinking (and playing out variations) i decided to cowardly defend, because my sente on the left wouldn't last many moves and black could do some mischief in the center. by the way, if black wouldn't play here, i wouldn't think myself it is so urgent area. eventually black has to run out of steam and then my time will come

Koroviev: thank you, it is the greatest motivation to hear that someone enjoy my game. and if you find anything unclear, feel free to ask, i (and the others surely as well) will do my best explaining it further

just so you know, I'm at a conference this week so I may not be able to update regularly.

no problem, enjoy the conference (i hope it is enjoyable)

so far so good. now i want to see how will black answer my last move, because allowing me monkey jump would be pretty big, but it is hard to find a good counter (w a is going to become unpleasant aji)

a = 35
b = 12
c = 5
d = 8
e = 7
f = 18
g = 15
h = 20
i = 3
ballance = a + b + c + d - e - f - g - h - i = 35 + 12 + 5 + 8 - 7 - 18 - 15 - 20 - 3 = -3
hmm, i would think i am already ahead, but i believe i can get 3 points in the endgame. this count isn't really precise anyway, because i am used to not so close games so i usually round the numbers a bit.
but i feel good, that's important
