I'm in crazy experiment mode. This doesn't actually work, but I want sente, and I've decided to try something. Besides, this feels yucky:

Chew Terr: First, I think it's wonderful we have this kind of forum (formerly GoDiscussions.com)
and this format where people abide by a honor code so we can freely share ideas and thoughts in hidden tags.
And of course I have to thank Topazg to add yet another Malkovich game onto his busy schedule.
Now, to the game itself :study: --
This is my first Malkovich game, and it's been very interesting.
Before this, I knew very little about the double approaches:

So the upper left corner gave me a chance to study this a little bit (Post #44, etc.)

Afterwards, the direction of :w20:,(a) or (b), was difficult (Post #49),
and it was another good chance to study some Magic Sword variations for some guidance.

As W, since B goes first, I always feel a little behind.
I'm always concerned about the correct directions, weaknesses on both sides,
efficiency of stones, good and bad shapes, good and bad aji,
not seeing important tesujis, and maintaining overall balance (especially as W) -- all the usual suspects.
Generally, my goal on every move is try not to play something I'll regret later.
Specifically, for now, I keep an eye on (c), and try to get sente to play :wc: first.

It's still a little early; I don't know how to judge the current situation.
In particular, I don't know if :w20: was the correct direction;
that's something to find out post-game. :-?

I would be inclined to play :b1: here, and treat the marked black stone lightly.


I agree completely. I was thinking that it might be best to treat it lightly even before the two circled white stones were played.

How close does a stone have to be to a wall before both players will decide that it is compromised and therefore not worth their time?

Obs.
This, I think, depends on the tactical situation (meaning the specific wall and perhaps global stuff). If the wall can slide under the stone's extension, depriving it of a base, that's too close, or if there's some other nastiness that the wall can do to the stone. OTOH if the wall is lacking eyeshape maybe such a stone wouldn't be too close.

Now Black has made reasonably strong shape with good eye potential, easy access to the middle, and conceded around 15 points - for 12 of the 16 stones White has played, I'm happy with this (and 2 walls of thickness facing each other this closely is generally overconcentrated).

As a result, I suspect White won't play to push and cut, but it does mean I get to connect to my stones in semi sente, so that's fine too.

Connecting at :w1: or (a) seems slow and gote --
the two :bc: stones are not small, but I think B is happy to trade them for :b2: and :b4:,
after which B exudes power from the center all the way to the entire right side:

So it seems the small knight's :w1: or the large knight's :w28:
is a big shared point for B and W; I probably should take it first.
(p)
Instead of :b25:, if :b1:.. :b5:, then, for example, W either gives up the 2 W stones (W(a)), or B can destroy W's eyeshape in sente (W(b));
B also has the option of (c) for better eyeshape:

In my second variation, if :w1: keima, B can jump to :b2: to fight,
so the large keima :w28: was better:

Well, that was a very silly move order mistake. Ed's too smart to just push and cut there. If I get sente for connecting them, I will, but right now, I need to jump out. I should have played something like this I think:

for obs only:
if he want to jump below is correct.
what he suggested is too thin and will pay for that weakness later.

I think Topazg is hurting himself with this move. The best way to counter EdLee's latest move would be to isolate it, not to make it stronger.

I expect that EdLee will play the proverbial hane like this:

Now Topazg almost has to crosscut with 4, lest EdLee take 4 for himself.

White 5 is a no-brainer, then 6 is a problem for black:

No matter how it plays out, black will have succeeded in forcing white to become strong in the center. Not only does this bode ill for black on the left side, but eventually the cut at G16 will bcome pointless.
