But White lost, and there were no special tactical excitements such as kos or captures, and no mistakes were mentioned. Instead, Black said, shortly after this position, "I was confident" and White said, a little later, "I thought the game was close but I just didn't have enough."
In another thread recently, someone asked if pros had something analogous to the value network of AlphaGo, that directly gave a precise positional evaluation, noting that the pros relied upon counting territory a lot. I think that this indicates that the answer is yes, but the evaluation is not all that precise. At least before the endgame.
