I recently watched Dwyrin's video on that game. It's a game played between the first two AlphaGo iterations, if I'm not mistaken, so AI hadn't really gotten into it (neither moves nor commentary).
I also put the game through a mobile Leela (64b network, I believe), for a couple of hours, giving me between 10 and 20 thousand playouts around the moves here. IME, weaker networks might take a while to realize a move was game changing, and their graphs might have slightly different shapes, but their overall evaluation is not that different (and my PC has been dying for a while).
Spoilers from now on...
Now, the video implies that W is a difficult position from the very beginning. I don't doubt that, but except for a tiny dip around MV 25, Leela considers White is ahead the whole game. I find it quirky, considering bots have a reputation for territory.
But my main point of interest is around Tengen and MV 90.
There's a group right there, a Black 4 stone L shape, that gets netted. Black proceeds to free the liberty at L9... so far, no surprises. White thows a stone again at L9, I assume to force B into filling up... And Black ignores it. For a score+ of moves.
Not only does Black ignore it but White does, too. Now, I might be completely off, but as I see it, Black considered the group important enough to save some moves ago OR those two stones pushing the liberty important enough to eat... And then decided that something else... enough something elses to fill 26 moves... was more important than 8 points. And so did White.
Now, I don't disagree with most of those options. The AI does, sometimes, and it's always in the radar, but still... I understand that some of the moves are big, there's a lot of empty space, still. But what I mainly want to know is...
Am I right assuming that
a. There are six points in play there (I'm substracting a space to settle L9 at L10)
b. There's a double gote (a move to kill and the one above to settle L9)
c. Both players consider the rest of moves are bigger than 6 + 2 x gote (for White), 2 + gote (for Black).
...or did I miss something else?
Thanks. Take care.

is not to save L10, but to make an eye with sente.
removes an eye, so that White can keep pressure on the central black group while threatening to capture 4 stones.
and move 
, Black doesn't save the central stones in gote because Black can make attacking moves on the bottom group with sente.
kills the corner and strengthens E2, this is much bigger than capturing 4 stones.
is a gote move, but protecting the corner is bigger than saving 4 stones.
