I'm one of the more laissez-faire people here about Malkovich games, but if you're just going to post moves, you might as well be playing on DGS. Let's see some hidden comments!

Even just a sentence or two about what you're thinking is nicer than nothing.

Posted: **Wed Oct 13, 2010 8:45 am**

Hmm interesting. Well, the fact of the matter is I didn't think anything

The moved looked shiny so I played it.

If that's really all that goes through your head before you play, then you may as well say that in your hide tag. The comments make the game more entertaining, and it really is useful to learn what stronger players think when they play moves, whether it's "This is the only move, or else I die in this sequence..." or "I had a dream about this move, so I feel like I should play it". Don't feel obligated to always post novels, but it is fun to read player comments. Thanks again for playing, looking forwards to continuing to watch. =)

More familiar with the double kakari approach, I have no clue on how to deal with the high approach of White 3.

I could from all my knowledge either cap it at O16, or make a kosumi move at P15. Another option is tenuki, often recommended when not knowing how to deal with a situation (won't happen in this case).

I think in either way he will come to (3,3), while I can choose to block at a or b or c(with cap stone only).

I'm not very willing to block at a, when he nobis at b, then Q14 looks good.
If I block at b, a cap stone put more pressure on his corner than kosumi. But then, as Q10 is a bit far, and Q14 is high, this stone is still active, so i risk of losing a corner and at the same time did not put enough pressure on his other stone.
If I do c, well, do i need another move to aji-keshi O17 after white's b? It either gives me gote or leaves a lot of aji which is terrible in a game against 4D.

Looks like i'm more willing to do b, in which case, I have sente. And in case b, I can deal a cap stone better than kosumi. So let's cap it.

I put a '?' in the code, but it doesn't show ? on the board, but rather a transparent white square. How can I put a '?' on board? Or there's a better way to indicate that's the possible place i'm looking but not using a,b,c or actual stones?

I didn't test them all out when I was setting some things up earlier, but the diagrams should be pretty consistent with:

(except for how the titles are generated)

Particularly relevant on that page is the following chart:

This is a joseki. nothing too exciting about it. He probably knows the variations to this one so I thought I'd try the 3,3 variation.

It's a choice of either a or b.

As analysed above.
If a, then possible, i will have to spend a move there to reduce to aji of trangle stone.

If b, then some kind of sente for me.

Don't feel too much difference in this two cases. So let's try b as planned, and if he makes the same situation in the other corner, I may well try a.

Will be able to make the next move in either Monday or Tuesday.

trigger a move. hmmm why my 10 doesn't work... I will use 1, 2, 3 instead of 8, 9, 10, because i don't know how to make double-digit move work.
