@ Balmung:
Yes, the pincers you post would have been perfectly natural, and they are a bit more aggressive than the actual game. However, I think the move in Aphelion's sequence is also perfectly normal and playable even on a professional level; it just gives you a nice solid corner with very few worries later on.

So no worries, he didn't trick you into any suboptimal moves :)

Balmung:

What happened in the game is overwhelmingly the most common professional play here. Your suggested moves are strong alternatives and very playable (some more so than others), but probably all technically worse than following the mainline (disregarding your early invasion) ;)

I think the capture count is wrong it should be white 1 black 0 how do we fix that?

What do you mean disallowed? There aren't really referees for Malkovich games--if the players want to say "no suggested sequences" at the outset of the game (just as they sometimes do with whether to allow joseki lookup) they certainly may.

Just change the caption of the diagram. :) (EDIT: oh, I missed a page. Well at least you know no one is lying to you...)

Armpit hit followed by hane-at-head-of-two. No likey.

Is this an emergency situation? That's the only time you should play such moves.

Save time compared to what? I'm not sure I follow.

No.

I certainly would.

What is this discussion all about?

Balmung: I meant for the captured stones to indicate the actual color of the stones captured, not the stones that each side has captured. Feel free to change it if you dislike it.

I had no idea. It seems an odd thing for the moderators to moderate.

@Aphelion: Sorry, this was on-topic coming from a hidden comment, but it is probably not good to keep the discussion going in a Malkovich game.
