My strategy here will be to make as many complications as possible in the limited space I have. I only have to live in one place, so I figure if I have five groups floating around, Magicwand won't have time to kill all of them :blackeye:. So in any situation, if I can cut, I'll cut. If I can't cut, I'll still cut.

I think Shaddy plays some variation of the killing game quite often. On KGS he's said he's even played it multiple times with Feng Yun 9p.

I still think Magicwand will win. I think Magicwand is stronger than Shaddy, and from my (limited) experience with this game I think it is easier for black than white. If Magicwand kills, it'd be interesting to see them change sides and see Magicwand attempt to live.

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 must confess that I've never seen this game between two dan players, but I have watched strong kyu players and white always finds life somehow. So my prediction: white will life, but it will take over 100 moves.

btw: this is probably the "standard" opening

Connecting looks good, right? In a game, who wouldn't play it instinctively without a thought, because black's shape gets broken and you get all connected? But that's exactly what he wants. If I connected, black would m11 and then white has a lump that can't do anything meaningful to k8 or m10.
