ive never actually played a malkovich game where both players commented frequently. comparing malkovich logs sounds like a fun way to study together though, so i want to try. i think 2 games is what im going for since i dont want it to be too much work.
anyone up for it ? preferrably 9k or stronger, relatively fast correspondence setting (with ca. +8h/move), doesnt matter if its ranked.
Hi @kickaha
I’d be interested in a Malkovich game. I once played one which was great fun! My rank is between 9k and 7k.
I’m going on holidays in a week, so I’m not sure if I can manage the time settings. But I’m usually a “quick correspondence” player.
If you’re interested send me a game request with the settings you’d like
We are all hoping some nice folks are gonna provide additional feedback. any thoughts on the games themselves or the logs would be great. maybe they are even interesting to read .
it looks fun and instructive but isn’t a bit painful to read them ? Or please, how should I do guys ?
What is challenging to me is to have the complete Malkovich log from the very beginning plus the game replay in autoplay… It costs me a lot to link a commentary to a move number and a situation: I still can press pause and control the replay flow, though. But I have the feeling the replay starts again on its own after I clicked on “next move”.
Also, I need to have a look at the move number at the very bottom of the goban (the last stone doesn’t have any number label) and to the righ line from the Malkovich log and to the right move.
I’m not enjoying it as much as I would like. Am I the only one ? Is it something I’m doing wrong ?
unfortunately the handling is “suboptimal”. cant say i know of a better method . do you know that the small numbers in the log that seperate the meassages are clickable? they will take you to the respective position on the board (but keep in mind sometimes the log entry can be written for the follwing move, sometimes for the one just played). dont know if that helps.
i myself have trouble even reading the log and seeing the board at the same time, because my screen is quite small. after the move tree appears i have about 4cm of chat window left . i manage by going through the game with arrow keys and scrolling the chat window. but thats just for reading, not taking notes at the same time.
well maybe you can figure something out . let me know if you do.
i hope you find a way to enjoy it! thanks for taking a look at it!
EDIT: Things should be a little easier now with the new interface. The board wont slide out of view anymore.
I feel like there’s lack of high level malkovich games. Wouldn’t it be magical to have some classical games that a beginner could look at to see how high level player thinks?
