Happy New Year!
I'm now ready to play our Malkovich game as promised on my introduction thread. I guessed even so take black. Japanese rules, 6.5 komi, open book/database.
Have fun!

Have fun!
This game should be interesting. My impression is Magicwand likes influence and tends to overplay (particularly when giving handicap), whereas I tend to like territory and honte so we can both be happy 
. However, lately I've been trying out a more flexible style so let's see how this game develops.
As for my first move at 4-4, I still haven't decided if I like 4-4s or 3-4s better so I usually play one of each. Whether I go for a standard opening like Chinese/Kobayashi/Orthodox/Mini-Chinese depends what corners he plays, but based on his previous games I expect he will play 2 4-4s which gives me many choices.
We played a game on OGS, where Magicwand as black made a big moyo and I took territory. I then outplayed him in the fighting and he ended up losing pretty badly. In fact that game is why I joined L19 as I thought it would have made a good malkovich game. You can see the game and my review at http://www.online-go.com/games/board.php?boardID=305481. I wonder if that game will make him play more sensible moves, or will he do his usual style? I hope he does overplay as that should be fun for observers and if/when (hopefully the later!) I punish them I will be winning. I suppose I am black now and it is more natural for black to be the one to choose a moyo game though.

would), but stops it indirectly by making it bad to make it. The theory is that with the shimari of 
white limits black's influence over the lower right corner of the board, and the moyo off the 3-4 is the focal point of the Chinese opening. So instead of 
at r9 black will probably approach white in the lower left and it's a different game. I got this idea from the excellent [sl=ADictionaryOfModernFusekiTheKoreanStyle]A Dictionary Of Modern Fuseki, The Korean Style[/sl].
at d3 because then black can't approach from the lower side. You can of course stop it even having played a 4-4 by pincering or approaching black's 3-4 in the lower right.
