I say Forget those stones and go for the kill!
Nein Mann, ich will noch nicht gehen, ich will noch 'n bisschen tanzen.
I'm sure all of these hidden posts are laughing at why I have not resigned yet, but hey... I've got to try to come back, don't I? It seems that's how I got in this situation to begin with.
If he plays elsewhere, I get huge profit by capturing the marked stones:

But I should be OK, I think. I've got enough space up there.
The problem with Malkovich games is that I feel like I am talking with myself most of the time. It makes me wonder if I am a little bit crazy...
On the other hand, input from kibitzers can be distracting at times, so I guess it's a trade-off.
@ kirby
don't worry Kirby you are not alone don t resign , he made a come back, you can make one !! Cheer up You are producing highly enjoyable games for the silent audience
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
Hmmm ... that could be a rather large capture there for White ... let's see ...
Evaluating both groups ... my current goal has been to attack (and maybe kill?) the center stones ... before I commit to that, though, I want to read as far as I can.
This board has a number of interesting areas to look at, and maybe find some way to pull ahead for good ...
Sorry for the delay. I've been sick for a bit, then scrambling to catch up on work stuff.

No guts, no glory! Honestly, I haven't had much time to read through things. I've decided to go with my gut and attack the center. It's been a fun game so far, anyways, so no regrets! This will definitely be the final battle.
