Magicwand is playing me again at 4 stones. There is nothing for me to say, really. Good luck, Magicwand.

I'm really enjoying this series! I think I'd bet on Kirby this time, if we were betting... :)

How can black possibly lose with four extra stones? ;-)

I can't bear to watch.

OC, I will. ;) It's like watching a train wreck. Whose train it will be, I don't know.

I assume Magicwand has a lot more experience with playing Handicap games. Might that be right, Kirby?

Kirby, please, please do not get discouraged by these games. I hope you enjoy them rather than make it something stressful on yourself. You could also just share in the beatings and give the weaker kyus some things to think about too :)

LOL, just noticed your rank label, Kirby.

You'll be fine in this game, I'm sure.

Well, I feel kind of like a loser, but as Magicwand pointed out in another thread, the point is for me to keep trying to improve. So I have lost before, and played some silly handicaps, but that is in the past. I will continue to try to improve.

Let's see if I can play better this game.

A tight pincer makes sense to me here. If black does the 3-3, I will get influence. If he jumps out again, the result should still be good for me.

On one hand, I feel like it is a lose lose situation. If I win the game, it's because I had a handicap. If I lose, well... I lose.

But as Magicwand pointed out, the point is for me to try to improve. So in either case, if I can accomplish this, I don't really lose, but I win.
