This move separates his stone and makes it crawl on the second line. I started to make diagrams for what may come, but when the diagrams go beyond what I'd normally be able to read in a game, I think it's not quite the spirit of Malkovich, so my main thought is that it's good to make him work to make his cutting stone live.

I'm asking black if I can easily rescue these stones or if he will make it difficult.

My laptop keyboard broke, so it's been hard to get this move up.

I considered three moves:

The idea of a is that white has to save his two stones and then I can surround his larger group.

Black is too thin here.

The idea of c, is to push the cutting stones very low, but they're too easy for white to sacrifice, so I didn't choose that move.

Instead, I chose b with this idea as a follow up.

So he'll likely protect them, then I can move to surround his group. Also, I'll probably get a forcing move in that helps the status of my group in first.

Kind of an empty triangle. Both of our center groups are still unsettled so I don't mind much about the lower side stones.

Well, the move to kill the cutting stones remains, but he realized that I could surround his stones, so he's preventing that now. I can push him a couple of times to strengthen my stones.

I'm not feeling very good about this game.

I think the opening was a bit comfortable for black so I took some risks for balancing the territory and suffered by leaving thin aji everywhere. Now, it's a chaotic fight(yay! :razz: ) to decide the outcome. If black settles for an exchange - his lower side for my sente, then we may reach endgame. It depends on the strength of my dragon if I can take the sente or not.

I'm curious, what are the observers thoughts on the game at this point?

This protects from a possible cut at n5 and helps prepare to continue the fight in the center.

I feel like this game hasn't gone how I'd like it to have gone either. Not sure exactly where I went wrong, but I'm not happy with it at this point. I have a bad habit of attacking too hard, so after the game, I'll be interested to hear from stronger players if I should have made a point to profit over just pushing weak white stones around without a clear goal. I kind of feel that's what happened here and he got to split up the bottom very easily as well as likely make some territory in a few spots. The worst part is that I still have to make sure that my group on the bottom is alive. :/ Seems like something I should have been able to avoid.
