Some other possibilites in my mind. If I take the corner directly and he blocks at c4 and the makes extension around c9 then what happens if I cut (there is a question of whether white should play :w12:

at

directly without losing a liberty):

I'm not sure who I prefer above. Another idea is to play the hane and then extend rather than dodge to the corner (attach at d3 is a similar idea). This is quite a complicated joseki:

Next black could play a to develop on both sides, and white plays b to which blacks comes out with the empty triangle at c. Another idea is to develop the lower side with d-e-f which allows white to play on the left side, but black still has useful aji if white cuts at c7 or pincers to attack the group as a whole.

This double approach might get really complicated, eh. Are you going to aim for a simple result? Considering you were initially expecting straightforward joseki.

Still thinking...

My latest thoughts. As I said previously I'm reluctant to play g4 and then take corner as it makes white thick. If I take the corner directly and white e3 I will be happy. But I don't like it if he c4. One possible sequence is:

When white extends to c10 (or thereabouts) this works nicely with d16 to develop the left side. I'm not loving this for black.

If the board was like this I would like this varaition as black is trying to develop the right side so white getting a strong group poking out is nice, and the top left corner is a white stone so black's wall is less effective.

He's known for playing quite slowly on OGS,and the two of them have played there before.

Uberdude: take much time as you like.

Quit rushing him!! Let him think. And write. That is the whole point of a Malkovich game.

Besides, not only does he have to write about his own moves, he has to compensate for MW's brevity. :roll:

Stop picking on him!! Let him play. And write. When he feels it is right to write. :batman:

I am not thinking about just move 9, I am thinking about moves 9 to 39. :razz:
