In game 113 (7 komi, NZ rules), black amusingly keeps ignoring white's bit-by-bit reduction of his large left-side area in order to profit in the bottom left corner and center instead. The game ends as a draw.

In game 114 (7 komi, NZ rules), by move 88, black has built a giant top left moyo and white has built an equally giant center bottom moyo; then they invade and reduce each other in equal amounts. Move 78 is rather spectacular. The game is a draw.

Game 115 (NZ rules, 7 komi) escalates into an all-consuming center fight after black deviates from the top left joseki to cut at D14. After move 216, black decides that, since he's at least 1 point behind, he might as well lose by 12 points.

I have studied these AI opening a lot but they need not result in a center fight. They can also start an early endgame.

In game 117 (7 komi, NZ rules), move 45 got a 0.05 % rating from the policy network. After a lot of fighting, by move 185, KataGo realizes that black is at least 2 points ahead. White loses her will to live, and the game by at least 72 points.

Game 118 (7 komi, NZ rules), starting around move 43, turns into a whole-board fight. A ko starting at move 207 lasts for 50 moves. Black and white end up with four living groups each, and the game is a draw.

In game 119 (7 komi, NZ rules), after a complicated fight on the bottom settles by move 98, another huge fight starts on the left at move 99. Once all the dust settles, the game ends as a draw.

In game 120 (7 komi, NZ rules), by move 92, black and white have cooperated to build a fence in the middle of the board, and they stay true to this arrangement. Black ends up sacrificing 28 stones on the left side of the board while white sacrifices 12 stones on the right side. In the end, four territories remain on the board; one is worth 15 points, one is worth 49 points, one is worth 64 points, and one is worth 91 points. A very satisfying draw.

In game 121 (7 komi, NZ rules), white tenukiing the bottom right joseki to grab a quick corner at move 8 leads to an early complicated fight. The game ends as a draw.

Game 122 (7 komi, NZ rules) is a mindbendingly insane game of which Eunkyo Do (KOR 1p) said: "It looks like they are playing another game than go!" It ends as a draw.

Game 123 (7 komi, NZ rules) is a game of strange shapes. Tough for my 10k brain to summarize what's going on. After move 232, black realizes he's firmly behind by 2 points, and resigns six moves later.

Game 124 (NZ rules, 7 komi) is a game with four 3-3 invasions. Black connects up two of his 3-3 invasions to make a 38-point territory on the left side, whereas white uses her top right 3-3 invasion to capture black's invaded corner. The game ends as a draw.

What I enjoy most about game 125 (7 komi, NZ rules) is black and white breezily floating around the bottom side. After move 184, black realizes he's firmly behind by at least 2 points, so he starts wasting ko threats.
