I've moved house! So I'm ready for a new Malkovitch game.

The highlight of my new house is likely to be the shed. I've put my weights in there. It's currently for storage, but I'll reinforce the floor and lay electricty to it to set up a home gym. It'll allow me to squat, deadlift, military press, push press, do kettlebell swings and Turkish get-ups, and cause mischief with a 50kg sandbag.

Being strong will make stronger at Go. (Possibly...)

Anyway, Japanese rules, 6.5 komi and I guess nigiri. (I don't know how nigiri works wih one of these things.)

Enjoy the game, MW!

I will approach like my previous one, and so I'll show some of my reading and make hundreds of typos.

Should be an interesting game. Good luck both.

I've a feeling this one will get messy quickly.

I went to a Yang Yilun talk a few years ago, where he laid out the idea of this opening for B:

This looks like a thorougly good idea for B, so I play it quite a lot. (Of course, W quite often diverges from this.)

The direction of the approach at 7 is better than the approach at 5 - B is less low and has room to expand. So 7 is the direction B is really interested in. But it's worth playing 5 first as a probe. Then 9 is an excellent extension. B may get a big corner or a big side.

I assume this game is open book. I won't use any databases, though - I never hav used one, and I like to make my own mistakes.

You cannot assume that. Better to explicitly agree on what's open and what's closed.

:lol: :lol: Classic MW! I wonder who it will take for MW to not think he is the favourite, Lee Sedol?! I know winning in Go's not transitive, but lovelove crushed MW and drmwc beat lovelove. My bet on drmwc, and not a close game.

I'm not that bothered - if MW wants to use DBs etc., he's welcome to.

As someone who's just acquired his second 24 kg kettlebell, I whole-heartedly feel your joy.

Cool - double 24s must be quite an intense workout. I've got a 32 (and a 28, 24, 20 and 2x16), but I'm not strong enough to press it yet. I can clean and press the 28, but not for a set of 5.
