Alright, coming back to this game after so long a break, it feels ... awkward.
I remember in a previous Malkovich game I floundered around with a couple stones and it made the game very difficult on me. Losing those stones is HUGE, but the board is still pretty open. I'll see if there's a better way to use them later, but for now they'll sit there, doing nothing.
Now, let's see if I can cause trouble way on the other side of the board.

Well, all is going more or less as expected ... I don't want to jump around with those two stones, they'll just become a burden. However, White seems intent on spending several moves making sure they're dead.
Speaking frankly, the length of time between moves in a Malkovich game leaves a sort of gap between my current strategy ideas and my previous strategy ideas from move to move. Perhaps it's because my style of play is once again fluctuating as I try new things. Whatever the cause, I'm likely to tenuki again after this move. If I can keep my opponent dancing about, or if he spends too many moves securing a (relatively) small area, I can spread out across the board.
At least, that's the theory, right?

NOW he's running! Can he still get away? I don't know, but I'll certainly chase him and make as much profit as possible. This move seems like a natural chasing move. With the right timing I might even be able to hurt his group on the bottom somehow:

black is wrong and white is wrong.
black can not afford to give up that stone. also..white will be far ahead and simple by capturing one stone. (black is not stable yet and will be attacked)
i guess this is a difference between sdk and dan.

Does he expect me to connect against the peep? I think cutting him off with
is stronger.
$$Bcm1 Prisoners: W=0, B=0
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm1 Prisoners: W=0, B=0If he pushes in, I'll play this sequence (possibly with
at
).
The result looks good to me; the stones on the right have little options now.
Also, if he captures at 'a' in the diagram above, I get sente to invade at 'b'.
