@Magicwand
This double approach might get really complicated, eh. Are you going to aim for a simple result? Considering you were initially expecting straightforward joseki.

Some other possibilites in my mind. If I take the corner directly and he blocks at c4 and the makes extension around c9 then what happens if I cut (there is a question of whether white should play :w12: at :w14: directly without losing a liberty):

I'm not sure who I prefer above. Another idea is to play the hane and then extend rather than dodge to the corner (attach at d3 is a similar idea). This is quite a complicated joseki:

Next black could play a to develop on both sides, and white plays b to which blacks comes out with the empty triangle at c. Another idea is to develop the lower side with d-e-f which allows white to play on the left side, but black still has useful aji if white cuts at c7 or pincers to attack the group as a whole.

Well, that "joseki" sucks for black, for one, 'cause White's got all kinds of nasty ways to follow up on it. And White's got this nice reducing stone right where Black's 3-4 stone wants to make territory, while White has a reasonable shape on the left.

Still thinking...

My latest thoughts. As I said previously I'm reluctant to play g4 and then take corner as it makes white thick. If I take the corner directly and white e3 I will be happy. But I don't like it if he c4. One possible sequence is:

When white extends to c10 (or thereabouts) this works nicely with d16 to develop the left side. I'm not loving this for black.

If the board was like this I would like this varaition as black is trying to develop the right side so white getting a strong group poking out is nice, and the top left corner is a white stone so black's wall is less effective.

He's known for playing quite slowly on OGS,and the two of them have played there before.

Besides, there's so much fun for psychological games--how will Magicwand react?

Quit rushing him!! Let him think. And write. That is the whole point of a Malkovich game.

Besides, not only does he have to write about his own moves, he has to compensate for MW's brevity. :roll:

hum.... my brevity is due to the fact that there arent any complicated variations that i expect.
i hate thinking about variations that my opponent might not play.
also i hate the fact that i iniciate complicated variation and lose because of it.
so i play what i know in fuseki. simple as possible.
sooner or later it will get complicated.. and that is when i start my thinking.

dont worry ..there will be plenty of diag when fight become complicated.

I just got back from the pub and decided to move. I hope I don't regret this tomorrow morning :lol:. I had a look at this board position with Kombilo/GoGoD. As explained in my previous posts I don't really want to play the g4-f5 exchange and then 3-3 as it makes white thick and gives him the good point at c8. I know that professionals have played this in the past, and it is hardly likely to cost me the game, but I am not content to play moves the professionals thought good 20 years ago. I remember reading some reviews by Dinerstein about that joseki being nice for white, and now that An Younggil said it so explicitly on gogameguru I want to find something better. GoGoD shows that g4-f5 and then c-3 was popular in the 90s, but has not been played professionally since 1999, instead after g4-f5 black plays e3 or d3 and has good winning percentages for both. I think I will play e3 as I have studied the complicated joseki that results quite a bit (last diagram in viewtopic.php?p=88016#p88016 ). I have not yet decided if I will choose to defend the cutting point on the left side, or develop the bottom side. Something I have considered in favour of choosing this variation is that my stone in the lower right corner is at q3 and therefore white doesn't have a good approach at o3 which makes it harder for him to settle in the n3 area should I choose to develop that area (I'll explain this in diagrams if we get to such a position later).
