Re: Big Brother Malkovich # 1 (continued)
I approve. It is the only move.
But the previous move is fodder for serious post-mortem analysis.
I was sure that V would change this. I thought that M12 was better for black:

Joaz: your way leaves us with a piano, our way merely a bowling ball. Either way it's not fun to get one dropped on you but one might not be fatal.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

But you can duck the piano completely by abandoning the four H17 stones. The piano squashes them, and you take most the northeast quarter of the board.
When the dust settles, there are no undecided life and death issues. Black's territory is cash in the bank, whereas white's potential is yet to be realized.

Oh, you think white would die up there?

Starting from the position of the last diagram:
...it looks bad for white.

Well, I don't think you're obligated to play 
there, you could... you know, help the endangered group... 
Anyway, back to the game... Gresil? Your move I think?

So it would seem. But after some long analysis, I come to the conclusion that M16 is the vital point, and when black gets there first, helping the endangered group is tricky.
O14 is such a weak spot that it cannot be covered indirectly:
...white must play
like this:...which continues like this:
...and this:
In this position, black can take territory with
, and white cannot reply with 'a', because of the weakness at 'b'. White has two weak groups, black has one. H17 still holds.These diagrams don't cover everything, but they illustate the general idea that white still has two weak groups that will be a burden, so it may be better to grab H17 when possible.
