Sorry this move is delayed, work is still crazy, and you made a move I have to think about a lot

I'll have a move this weekend but probably not before.

This is my count;
Black 29
White 24
NB because white's c5 wall lacks d6 or similar, I'm not happy calling anything there territory.

Offsetting the points a little, Black's P10 group seems the weakest group on the board, lacking any base-making potential, but for now at least seem to be happily out to the centre. The other regions of the board all seem to be hotly contested, with strength from both sides radiating towards the L17, c10 and to some extent j3 areas.

Anyway, I have some strategic and tactical thoughts on this situation.

Goals for black (who's turn it is) ; threaten to make the c5 group weak considering the aji of C6, with the goal of making a large left side, potentially blighting white's c12, which I feel was too deep. Maybe something like 1... B9 2. E9 3. F11.

Goals for white, strategically, because black is going to play something sente - I think are complex. Considering the potential cut at E15, I think white can aim at something interesting in the centre, ideally some kind of large scale roundabout attack (kill!) on the M9 group. Black will presumably make some compromises to ensure the group's life.

Pulling out N3 for white or catching it for black is an obvious massive point gote, larger than being the first to play on the top side, but I feel too slow for either side until the M10 group is resolved.

Hmm, on further reflection, I think that whatever black plays, white's cap at F10 will be an excellent next move for him.

I lied - I had to work both days this weekend and I don't have the time and mental energy to move yet. Good thing you have another Malkovich game to play! I will try to pick this up in the near future.

Hooray for 12-day work weeks :cry:

Wedging requires the ladder running in both directions, and I don't have either ladder. So black will answer with :b2:

and I will fall apart.

It is my responsibility now to make these fourth-line stones mean something. Hopefully I can do it.

I looked briefly into this:

but I think that kind of thing only works when Black has a lot more support or is near a corner to have some more capturing ability. Here the cut at a looks way too dangerous.

I can't let White jump to a, as it would swallow up :bc:

, give him some real territory, and nullify the influence I just built up.

Well, that's pretty sente.

It sucks to give White all this on top (and to lose some possible territory myself), but at least I am getting C13 in, which gives me some more nice possibilities on the left.

Of course White can't do this:

or this:

so I expect this:

after which this works if he doesn't do something to protect it:

so I think he has to play a protecting move, which could give me the opportunity to erase the territory he's making around E6, or nullify the wall he's building up top facing right, or finally swallow that stone on the bottom, or finally attack his upper right group...
