Rules:
Each team starts with 10 edit-points. It costs 1 point for a middle brother to make a correction, and 2 for a big brother to make a correction. Every 10 moves per team, 5 points are replenished (so on move 19/20, move 39/40, 59/60, etc. of the overall game, each team gets 5 points, because as everyone knows the naturals start with 1).

Oooh exciting

Hopefully we can get out of fuseki without using too many corrections. I'm planning on playing the orthodox fuseki, just because I've been playing it a lot lately.

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bc Move 1... P: B-0, W-0... C: B-10/9 W-10/10Maybe something like that. We'll see.
Two questions:
(i) Do we get new correction points every ten moves, or every ten moves with no corrections?
(ii) How strict will we be about references? I'm obviously not going to consult a joseki dictionary, but should I stop reading books about Go until the game is over?

To Phelan, Marcus and Violence can read too
If you opponent wishes to fight it doesn't matter what you play
. You can only create superior conditions to fight on, not avoid a fight

For Dangomango (and Shaddy):
If Violence approves
, my
is:
$$Bc Move 1... P: B-0, W-0... C: B-10/8 W-10/9

I'm glad they played 4-4. I hope Phelan isn't going for anything too unusual. Forcing the parallel fuseki, at least, suggests that he doesn't want complications. I don't know if it would be fair to say that joseki is my weakness, because I'm pretty weak all over, but I really have a horror of odd corner sequences.
I'll still probably make the enclosure with
. I'll think about ways to approach W's corners to suss out his intentions first, but it's not worth it unless we can keep sente.

Two questions:
(i) On BB Malkovich number 2, we only get points with no corrections. Don't know how we do it here.
(ii) The game will last some time, so I think reading books about go, and go books specifically is accepted.

10 moves with no corrections gets you 5 points.
