An unusual choice of handicap...

Opening is probably the weakest part of my game.

The pirate raises his arm, covered by the black linen of a simple shirt. His pale hand extends from the darkness and moves over the goban. Without any sound, a stone appeared. "I see yer stone, and I'll raise yer a stone."

Skydyr opened up with a 5-4, Otenki opened up with a 5-3. Both made me feel uncomfortable. This is an opening probe and I'd like to see how he handles it.

Exactly! My opponent asked for one stone with 6.5 komi. Well, I shan't complain. :)

:b2: feels sort of like the wrong direction to me - perhaps the other 3-5 would have been better. If black makes a shimari, I'll just go and extend along the bottom side, and I can't see myself getting a bad result. If black approaches :w1: on the lower side, then he is treating :b2: as a fifth line stone, which is a little odd at this stage. Perhaps he will do something about my position on the left, or start building a moyo on the right. I'm not worried yet either way. I guess I'll carry on flexibly with another 4-4 until his plan is clearer.

billywoods, I don't you don't mind me unhiding your text about the handicap,
because I still have the same question as The Intrepid:

What does that mean? 6.5 komi for B or W??

The following is a one-stone handicap:

I don't mind you unhiding it at all, but I think the answer is going to be unsatisfying. As DeFlow says in his first post, the komi is set at 6.5 - that is, presumably, for white. It's not any different from a standard even game, except that I lose the nigiri by default. It's the 'handicap' my opponent asked for - perhaps he thinks he plays well as black but badly as white. I don't know, and don't especially mind the unconventional format. Ask him, not me. :)

I look forward to this. I hope there's as much violence as there's been in every game you and I have played against each other. Remember, winning is good, but killing everything is better.

Hi Billy! I am sorry for my long inactivity, but at the moment I don't feel like I have the time to play in a Malkovich. Sorry for the silence on my part.

No problem. Let's call this off, then. :)

Why not just postpone it? The thread won't disappear or anything like that.
