: : KataGo also considered (CHITOOM). : KataGo also considered for this purpose. The crosscut in the upper left corner has been played already, so this move in the centre would be really no mistake, contrary to one of KataGo's selfplay games ( 58ct). : KataGo prefers capturing at immediately, and will return to after Black has filled White's eye with a four-stone pyramid.
