Invasion time kiddies. His move at 1 was weird. I don't know why he wants a fight there but okay.
Nein Mann, ich will noch nicht gehen, ich will noch 'n bisschen tanzen.

Man, I've had a terrible few days, especially today, and should probably come back to this some other time, but this looks kinda sente and then we'll see if I can kill White. If not, the game's probably not looking so good, so it'll be fun to try.

Pretty much sente and makes him thicker. White 4 probably looks crazy to some of you right? :P

Hmmm, I resign!

That'll teach me to play a couple of moves without doing any reading:

Because :w70: and :w74: are sente against the corner, I can't see any way of keeping your eyespace down. I had a few nice ideas I thought, but none of them seem to work - you either kill me in the corner, make 2 eyes, or escape - there seems little chance in preventing you from making another eye if you escape, particularly as I have the "a" -> "b" cut to worry about.

A nice little tesuji that :)

Umm....okay? I haven't played any moves yet?

This has happened to me 3 times in Malkovich games! :P I just magically make my opponent lose all resolve.

Hehehe, sorry, I'm more than happy discussing some lines with you in this corner, but if you _do_ live, I either invade unreasonably on the left side and rip you off, or alternatively I'm far too far behind, no?

Well yeah I mean if I live here then it's your top against my left and you'd have to do something, but I honestly don't think Black has lost.

Anyways, since it's over, I'll just discuss my thought process. I don't like 1 because of bad aji at a.

So to me, extending along the side from the outside is not that great unless my reading is off. I figured my left was equal to your top so the right was your advantage.

I was mainly thinking about this and trying to escape. You're thick though, so maybe 1 and 3 are too deep. I'm not sure. Maybe I should start off with 3. 3 could be played at A too.

My defense earlier was mistaken too I think. I didn't play 1 because I didn't like the bad aji at A, but that might not be a big deal if I jump in the center. So keeping Black split is better.

I thought 1 was kind of weird and was wondering why you didn't lightly reduce me at a. since you didn't turn at b your base is like not really existent here so I just thought taking control of the center keeps White in check. My being weak on the bottom is an asset to you. stuff like b becomes dangerous.

I thought 1 was kind of weird and was wondering why you didn't lightly reduce me at a. since you didn't turn at b your base is like not really existent here so I just thought taking control of the center keeps White in check. My being weak on the bottom is an asset to you. stuff like b becomes dangerous.
Yeah, this is interesting. I actually rejected this because it seemed a bit directionless, but considering that only a few moves later I was really wanting to reduce White's left, and considering the purpose of leaning against a group with a move like :b1: is designed normally to gain strength to attack in the other direction, "a" starts to make a lot more sense than I gave it credit for.

I'm slightly of the opinion that securing in the top right at the end of the joseki should have been a lower left approach, but it also felt very honte, so I'd love a professional opinion on whether or not it was the right timing to complete that corner joseki.

@Ed: Yeah, I'd looked very hard at the attachment, and if I was going to continue there, I'd probably play that as a starter before deciding whether or not to extricate my earlier contact mistake. If White hanes on top it certainly looks like there's a lot of useful aji to play with, and if White hanes underneath I perhaps can start using the other stone effectively.

Either way, a combination of frustration at my miscalulation with F8, the successful White invasion, and a very difficult week made me feel that enough was enough. I'm not too unhappy with the majority of the game, and indeed I didn't feel like Black was doing too badly until the lower side went a bit pear-shaped, but I think my honest chances of winning from here are very slim, and I want yithril to be able to focus fully against magicwand ;)
