Double sente? But when white played in that area black tenukied! So I think it is only Black's sente. It's not clear Black should use it though because it eliminates the possibility of saving the stones outright. So Black moving there could be aji-keshi.

The upper left is a double sente worth about 15 points.

The lower right ( S2 by white lives! ) is big...it is hard to count...maybe 25-30 points to the first player. It is dual gote.

The lower left - connecting or disconnecting my stones - is also around 25-30 points, and also gote for both.

The middle - where I played - is worth maybe 20 points...but is also hard to count. It is hard to say if it is sente or gote when I play it. The PITA is that it is big sente for him.
Another strange comment about double sente. If the upper left is really double sente, then white should play there in sente, and then play in the middle next, in order to get both.

Will you play 'b' on this board? Probably you would think it's too deep. What if I told you there was a 5 point bonus if you could prevent 'a' from being white's territory? Oh a 5 point bribe isn't enough?

The 5 stones in the 'a' area are garbage stones, and as garbage stones should have very little effect on where you choose to play next.

Good game, guys.

I also had the impression that Chew was distracted toward the end of the game.

Sometime we must find out if you can play well enough to back up comments like that. :)
2-0 against magicwand in even Malkovich games is pretty good evidence I'd have thought ;)

That said, I'd love to see you play him too!

Big sente for him; rather small for me. If I play it, he can tenuki and take something bigger.

2-1 is correct. :)

Thank you all for your insightful comments. Reading through this thread is... really humbling. Hopefully I can study and learn from it, but it's still hard to watch yourself get crushed.

I apologise magicwand, you are quite right :) I must have been thinking about my own defeats or something ;)

Sure, Joaz, just after I clean off my own plate... I'm planning to move in my other Malkovich tonight.

I would have thought this is a way of saying "sente for him, not sente for me".

Hopefully you don't feel down, Chew. I think I can understand your feeling to some degree having been crushed, myself. Actually, I think you did really well for the first part of the game, so I wouldn't feel bad about anything, really.

I'd suggest playing another Malkovich games. After getting crushed time after time, it hurts a little less.

Well, maybe not... :-D I am still humiliated from time to time, but... I guess that's the way the game goes.

In any case, please don't feel upset about the game. You were rockin' until the last bit! :tmbup:
