: ( 222cg)
White pushes at the upper edge.

: (126 222ci ; A 222cj)
KataGo favours Black's local reply with the atari at the upper edge.

There is no need to cut through at the top, instead.

KataGo does not really want to play Black's throw-in in the right centre now, but which is badly necessary to achieve the optimal result for Black.
A possible explanation might be that there are two other chances for doing so to come.

:
White continues with creating an eye for her centre group at the top.

: (A 222ck)
Black threatens to cut through at the top.

Again, KataGo does not really want to throw-in at .

:
White connects, keeping Black's large group at the right separated.

: ( A 222cm)
Black captures White's single stone in the right centre, also creating an eye for his group.

However, this is the latest moment possible, when Black can play the throw-in in the right centre to his advantage.
Please note that KataGo considers this move only with a (reverse) komi much larger than the draw komi for the continuation below.

: ( A 222cn)
White arms the ko fight in the upper right corner by connecting at the left edge.

However, this is the latest moment possible when White can play the connection in the right centre to her advantage.
Again, a large reverse komi is needed to make KataGo considering this move.

:
Black captures White's two stones immediately.

Alternatively, he might throw-in at in the right centre.

:
White recaptures.

She will not benefit from connecting at in the right centre, instead.
Thereafter, Black will connect at , making sure that his cut-off stones will survive in seki. White will still have to capture the hanezeki's tail, and so is unable to bear the loss of these stones.

:
At the latest moment possible (after White's mistake with connecting in the upper left corner, instead of in the right centre), Black plays the throw-in in the right centre.
And even again, a large reverse komi is needed to make KataGo considering this move.

If Black misses this move now, in order to give atari at in the upper left corner immediately, White will connect at this point, and thereafter win the Central Semeai, as can be seen in the previous subvariation for .

:
KataGo seems to like inserting this capture at the top as a kind of kikashi in the Central Semeai.

I suppose that White could do even without, not affecting the final score.

:
Black recaptures at the top.

:
White continues with the ko fight in the upper left corner.

:
White has this internal ko threat available, due to her initial push at the upper edge.

:
Black is unable to connect the ko.

:
Black gives atari at the upper string of White's left-hand group.

:
White has to capture the hanezeki's tail just now.

Continuing with the ko fight by capturing at , instead, is out of the question here.
White has run out of viable ko threats against Black's right-hand group. Black would capture White's stones in the upper left corner, and thereafter still be able to win the Central Semeai on its own.
White would have to capture the hanezeki's tail anyway, but her loss in the upper left would cost her the game.

:
Black recaptures, as usual.

:
White gives atari at Black's cut-off stones, so ending the ko fight.

:
Black gives atari in the lower right corner here.

Alternatively, he might defend his territory in the lower left corner, instead, not affecting the final score of the game.

Both sides will connect one of the remaining endgame ko each.

• Black destroyed five points of White's territory in the upper right corner.
