I'm going to have to bail out of this game for a while, I've just had a pretty major family life crisis and want to clear my plate out for a while 
Sorry guys, hope you can pick up a suitable replacement!

I approve.
So. guys, what do we do? Maybe we ask Daniel the smith? He is about Topazg's strength, and is on the forum almost daily.

Hope everything turns out alright, Topazg.
As for replacements, I think Tabemasu is of suitable strength. I would nominate him, he's on every day as well.

I'm okay with either of two options: invite someone around the right level or just call it, analyze, and start a new game. The downside of inviting a new person is, if they're active enough and interested in Malkoviches, there's a good chance that they're already to at least some of the hidden information. There's already a lot of useful information for Gresil and I (and hopefully Joaz at least, as well). That said, I'm loving the game, and would be equally happy if we do invite a pinch hitter.

@topagz: Good luck solving your problems, and all the best.
@Others: I have read the hidden comments, and won't be a good candidate to take over either.

If you can't find a big brother that hasn't read the comments, you could have everyone in the game read the comments up till now, then find a new big brother (one that's read comments up till now) and continue playing that way. (Leave the comments hidden after the new big brother starts[/i]).

This makes good sense generally, but maybe not all of the latest. ( One of my previous posts shows why I disapproved of a move, and showed what I expected to happen in the future. )
So, again, can we get a consensus on a new middle brother? Daniel the smith is one possibility. Who else?

I have been reading all the hidden posts, but that doesn't mean I can remember any of them. I can't even keep track of what side you all are on.
I could fill in if you all want me to.

There is nobody really in charge here, but since I started this, I guess I'll step up and pretend to represent everybody. We've gotten several positive responses, and no negatives, so you are officially in as Topazg's replacement. Welcome.

This is interesting, thanks very much for posting it - did he explain why?
I mean, judging on his choice of move, my gut feeling is that he feels that top right White group is really attackable, so chasing the middle one out would make contextual sense, but I'm guessing at his reasoning - did he provide any?
And did he pick M11 as the way to do it if it all? Because to me, M11 still just feels slack
Of course, I am not sure, but I had a handful of lessons with Mr. Yang, and M11 feels consistent with some suggestions that he gave me - maybe it's his style.
One thing that he stressed a few times to me was to be more defensive (maybe it's just my personal problem), because to have a truly strong attack, it's easiest if you are strong first.
With this in mind, perhaps M11 can aid in securing the black group on top so that black can have a more severe attack on white in the future.
Of course, I have no idea for sure, but this is the feeling I get when I think of M11 and the other things Mr. Yang told me while I took a few lessons from him.
