Re: Gang Malkovich 1: Magicwand vs the Gang of Five

for obs only:
as i look at the board position, i try to find out what is the difference between black and white.
i think every white stone is very light and not easily attacked.
OC black stone is in inefficient awkward shape.
although i am still trailing i dont think i am down too much.


one example of their efficiency can be seen at their last two move.
you can see that black is doing nothing with that two move.
while white is gaining points and stealing eyespace of black group.
although i dont have the flow yet i think i will get that flow soon enough because i already have a base for the flow.
below sequence is what i am trying for. if i get that sequence...game will be over soon.

[kirby] When I put my attacking cap on, I want to play 'a' to threaten to connect. If white blocks, then I want to jump out around 'b' to split white apart, and start causing some damage. However, I am somewhat worried about the health of our group on the top. I am worried about white's potential to take away eyespace. For example, Diagram 38.A.1, below... [JoazBanbeck] I like 'a'. See diagram 38.A.2 below. I like 'c' for the same reason. ( How do we develop the group in the lower left after we play 'a', and he blocks at C9? I like 'c' better when I think of follow-up moves. ) I could really like 'd' if someone could show me that 'x' kills if he tenukis. [Kirby] Your sequence is convincing to me. If we play something like 'a', It's also possible that white tenukis, and then we'd have to respond to get two eyes (see diagrams). [daniel the smith] Didn't we determine a while ago that this white move threatens to kill our stones on top? [JoazBanbeck] Not that I recall. I think that some gang members claimed that it was so, while others - such as myself - remained uncertain. ( Perhaps we didn't have E11 at the time. That would have made escape by white easy. ) BTW, the sooner we play 'b', the harder it is for him to threaten our upper left group, because it threatens to kill more easily as it runs southward. [Dusk Eagle] I feel lost in this situation. I'll propose probing at ''e''. If he defends on the right, we can drop down to J18 in response to him playing H18. If he defends on the left, we have gained the aji of cutting through his stones on the right. [JoazBanbeck] Playing at 'e' is too slow IMHO. See diagram 38.E.1. I think we need 'a' or 'b' or 'c'. [Dusk Eagle] I think we need to add a move to the top side, since white got the coveted 3-3 point. Our group on the left can still escape along the left even after 38.E.1. [Kirby] I agree with Dusk Eagle that our group will probably survive after 38.E.1, but it'd be too bad to lose out on the chance to split white and attack him. On the other hand, it is hard to attack the top white group severely, since white has forcing moves against the black group on the top. I'm also at a loss. We need to decide on something, though, so I'll vote 0.5 for 'e', and 0.5 for 'a'. [daniel the smith] 1.0 for ''e''. [JoazBanbeck] I think that 'e' is aji-keshi, and it strenghthens his top group which weakens the effectiveness of moves like 'b'. I'll support any of 'a', 'b', or 'c'. But eventually we must play 'b'. To be precise, my vote is negative one against 'e'. [daniel the smith] I guess that means that DE gets to pick the next move! [Dusk Eagle] I'm also voting ''e''. ---- [go]$$Wcm1 Diagram 38.A.1 $$ --------------------------------------- $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | $$ | . . . . .

[Dusk Eagle] After this, can't we just slide to ''f''? If white plays ''c'', we nobi and cut, if white plays something less severe, we're in the clear. White might try ''g'' but I think we can handle that fine too.[/hide][/kirby]
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

To observers:
I tried to warn them about this move. :grumpy:
...

[JoazBanbeck] Playing at 'e' is too slow IMHO. See diagram 38.E.1. I think we need 'a' or 'b' or 'c'.
...

[JoazBanbeck] I think that 'e' is aji-keshi, and it strenghthens his top group which weakens the effectiveness of moves like 'b'. I'll support any of 'a', 'b', or 'c'. But eventually we must play 'b'.

Black's last move may have been the frist one since around move 18 where I would have played the same. This has been a weird game.

Re: Gang Malkovich 1: Magicwand vs the Gang of Five

Post by Joaz Banbeck »

I think that the idea of 'gang malkovich' may be a failure. ( I'm not being negative when I say that. I half expected it. It, like other malkovich variations, was an experiment. If I can learn something from them, I'm happy. If they are successful and others enjoy them AND I learn something, I'm delighted. )

One of the five original participants dropped out early. Two more make token appearances. So only two of us remain to really contribute. And I'm finding it hard to do so. It has become like work. I only continue because I feel that I ought to since I started it.

I guess that the problem is that it lacks a personal feel that go games usually have. It is no longer 'my' game. Many of the moves were ones that I would not have chosen. While I can intellectually appreciate the virtues of those moves, they don't feel like 'my' moves.

How about the other four of you? Is it basically not a workable idea? Or was it a good idea but just being undermined by people's mis-aligned schedules?

And the final question: do we want to continue?

It started off fun and interesting, but after a little while it has lost a lot of its luster. I think you captured it best when you said,

That lack of personal investment in the game makes it hard for me to keep interested over long periods of time.

I do think it is an interesting concept, and it seems to reveal how differently we all understand the game. I think I can also say that Magicwand is stronger than the five of us working together :). But now, I feel I'm only continuing to contribute out of obligation, and would be fine with stopping.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

I enjoyed the experiment. I think it's difficult because it requires so much effort to communicate between team members, it's time-consuming, which is why I only checked the sensei's page once per day if that. So, let's resign.

...Also, I want to read Magicwand's commentary ^^

Ok, I think we have a majority.

@MW: We resign. Thanks for the game. Sorry that it didn't work as I was hoping.
