Big Brother Malkovich #3

[dangomango]

bump again

seems post is dying again...

[jts]

Okay, I think it's time to boot and replace Phelan (assuming the rest of youse is still interested in finishing)

[Shaddy]

I'm willing to go on.

[dangomango]

it's hard to move on without the players

[jts]

Any volunteers to replace phelan?

[Aphelion]

If no one else does it, I will be willing to. I've fallen to 5k on KGS due to massive inactivity. If a 6k comes he should play though. I've also read all the comments in this thread...

[jts]

aphelion is fine with me, welcome aboard (assuming marcus and violence want you, natch)

[Aphelion]

We'll wait to see if everyone is onboard with this. I need some time to think about this next move, it seems quite difficult.

[Violence]

Sounds fine to me.

[Shaddy]

Aph is fine with me.

[dangomango]

alright aphelion, we just need you to make the next move!
game on

Are the correction numbers correct? I notice Black wasn't incremented in the last move, is that right?

Debated between this and the G10 cap. Still not sure which is better. I'm not so good at these sedentary situations, really hope a fight breaks out soon. My judgement of the relative value of moves isn't really very sharp unless there are clearly urgent moves on the board.

My feeling is that we are slightly behind because we got those extra stones to worry about without any attack on either black group to show for it (I also feel that jumping in to that 3 space gap was too early). I wonder if the honte thing to do is to play something around that area. However, I think this approach is also very big, and things if destabilize a little it plays more to my strengths.

Its Marcus' turn, I believe? These Malkovich games tend to drag on easily, lets move quickly if we can.

I'm not sure how well shaddy will be able to keep up with this, as he's currently studying with Feng Yun 9p in China.

That's exciting! But he posted in the thread just a few days ago, so I don't think he's going to drop out. And no matter how busy he is, I doubt it will make him slower than Violence.
